One of the documents I want to print makes reference to a font "logo10."
Since this is not currently installed on our system, I decided to make
the font and install it.  However, when I tried to make it, I got the
following:

[ 1 ] --> cmmf '\mode=localfont;' input logo10
This is METAFONT, C Version 1.7 (no base preloaded)
(logo10.mf (logo.mf [77] [69]
>> unknown boolean monospace
! Not implemented: not(unknown boolean).
<to be read again> 
                   :
change_width->if.not.monospace:
                               if.r+shrink_fit-l=floor(charwd*hppp):w:=w+1;r...
l.53 if .5w<>good.x .5w: change_width
                                     ; fi
? h
I'm afraid I don't know how to apply that operation to that
particular type. Continue, and I'll simply return the
argument (shown above) as the result of the operation.

I am in no way a METAFONT guru.  Can anyone explain what is wrong and,
more importantly, what I should do to fix it?

Please send replies to steele@en.ecn.purdue.edu.  Thanks.
