My experience with the following files:
  citall.mf cmcbx10.mf cmcbxsl1.mf cmcbxti1.mf cmcitt10.mf cmcsl10.mf
  cmcss10.mf cmcssdc1.mf cmcti10.mf cmcyr10.mf cyrcoding.mf cyrillic.mf
  cyrl.mf cyru.mf cytextit.mf has been very painful.

Metafont immediately gives me error messages about isolated
expressions when I run it on the steering file cyrillic.mf, and TeX
won't let me proceed without ".tfm" files.  TeXView compains about a
"design size mismatch" when it tries to run MakeTeXPK, and I get
miniscule dots for characters.  After eights hours of getting nowhere,
I feel as far from "plug and play" as can be.

If anyone was ever able to use this stuff on a NeXT machine, how did
you do it?  Thanks for any help.
