I am trying to use MetaFont to generate some "fun" fonts.  (MetaFont is the
program which generates the fonts that TeX uses.)  However I must not be
understanding something correctly.  I can generate some gf fonts but can
find no way of converting them to pk fonts which are needed by dvi and
laser printers.  Did I just overlook the program gftopk somewhere?  I
pulled over from terminator (oops - atari.archive.umich.edu):
metafont, mf_files, mf_two, mf_three, and cm_mf .  Is there another file
I should also have?  I am using the previewer showdvi.  It too requires
pk fonts but does not contain  gftopk.  Any help will be appreciated.
                                    Thanks, Ed Overman
