Following the errors came after runing "virmf '&cmplain \mode=localfont;'
input cmr8" to create 75 dpi fonts (I change plain.mf to generate it). 
I really don't why it ask for roman1.mf, even no roman1.mf in that directory;
but cmcsc10 generation has no error even romain1.mf is requested.
Any pointer is greatly appreciated. Pls mail your comments directly to me.
