I didn't use your implementation of Metafont, but the manual of my MF says that there are no great differences between INIMF and MF. You can't exchange the base-files between different implementations of MF. I would try to load the plain definitions with 'metafont plain.mf' after a little time MF should come with an asterisk as prompt. There you should give the command 'dump'. Now you will get a file which can be used as a new base-file. That's the way I would try. I don't know if it will work ok for your MF. Try it and tell me your results. Greetings, Olaf
