These were sent on comp.binaries originally along with a second bunch of fonts; (mf_files, I think), but it seems that the distribution is still missing several key files. For instance, I tried the example command in the text that came with the binaries: virmf '\mode=epson; \mag=1.2; \input cmr10' and it tried to call several files I didn.t have....romanu.mf, romanp.mf, greeku.mf, romspl.mf, etc. Am I missing something obvious or am I just missing something? Is there another set of fonts I need or as a thought, can I use the .tfm files from my local Unix system??? Thanx James Parker
