I'm using Metafont to build the Euler fonts for an Epson printer (240
dpi) using the epson mode in waits.mf.  Metafont runs ok (with the
exception of the euex fonts, but that's OK; I don't really need them).
When I run gftopk (Ver 2.2) on the gf files, I get the message "Odd
aspect ratio" with almost every file, but it still writes the pk
files.  Is this just a warning, or is it an error?  What does it mean?
Is it just because they're AMS fonts at < 300dpi?  (I can't tell you
if the pk files actually work or not.  I'm building these fonts for
someone else, and I don't have an Epson printer on which to test
them.)  Thanks.....
