Hi all!
I'm trying to teach myself Metafont (using Debian 2.1, tetex from unstable;
same problem with stable tetex, though). According to the
documentation, mf can do "online graphics" when compiled "--with-x"; I
checked the debian/rules in the source package, and it is indeed
compiled this way. $TERM and $MFTERM are set to "rxvt" (no difference
when using xterm). Now I run mf interactively as follows:
/home/stefan> mf
This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3beta6)
**\relax
*drawdot (50,50); showit; end.
Transcript written on mfput.log.
/home/stefan>
That should draw a dot at position (50,50) (wherever that is), but
I don't get any on-screen output.
Any ideas anyone what's going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan
