On a similar note, I have set up Pastex-1.2a and MF2_7 according to
instructions.  Virtex and ShowDVI work fine (excellent job, BTW).
However, on calling MakeTextFont.rexx (CallMF 0.82) or calling virmf
to create unknown fonts, I get an error:

rx MakeTextFont cmr10 237 91 91
Making font with name = cmr10 dpi = 237 and base x = 91  y = 91
MF commands: '\mode:=NineOne; \mag:=2.60439561; \input cmr10; \scrollmode'
This is METAFONT, C Version 2.7
Sorry, I can't find that base; will try the default.
(Fatal base file error; I'm stymied)

Now I have all fonts in the fonts directory - I can't understand what I'm doing
wrong.  What explicitly needs to be set for virmf to work?  I set all
environment variables to default values with a script on startup.


Thanks,
Veenu
