Ah, bitmap fonts. 

(1) somehow ljfour is not known, what should i change add ? 
(2) when i run 'm and get 2602 files i don't get tfm's 

So, what I did was: 

mpost -ini &mfplain \dump 

move the mem to the web2cpath 

mpost &mfplain elogo10
mpost &mfplain elogobf10
mpost &mfplain elogod10
mpost &mfplain elogosl10
mpost &mfplain elogosl9
mpost &mfplain elogo8
mpost &mfplain elogo9
mpost &mfplain elogoslbf10

texexec --fig=c elogo* --pdf 

and voila, got 'm, so making type 1 should be possible since the glyphs
look okay. 

Some chars have a nice subtle curvature, i assume you went to the max in
that. Nice. The imaginary low x height was probably a strong driving force. 

I think that in general the chars are nice, but i'm not sure about the oe
ligature and the &. Also, the 3 is the only one with a small hook left/top
(straight line would be better).
