Subject: SliTeX fonts for OzTeX ???

I recently built some cm fonts for OzTeX so I could get SliTeX running.
However, OzTeX gives me mysterious errors like: Bad Fix Byte and 
Bad ID Byte whenever I try to preview. I built the fonts using
the version of metafont that is provided with emTeX and uploaded
everything to my Mac as binaries.

What causes these errors and how can I fix them?

If no one can answer this question perhaps someone knows ...

1. Where can I get a version of metafont for the Mac that is not
   an MPW tool? (I've checked into macmetafont, but it appears
   that MPW is required to run it.) 

2. Where can I get the following fonts (300dpi) lcmss8, lcmssi8, lcmssb8,
   cmmi8 (and their invisable partners) ilcmss8, ilcmssi8, ilcmssb8 and
   icmmi8 in the usual sizes (300,329,360,432,518,622,746) that will work
   with OzTeX?

Thanks,
Todd.
