Well, I cannot answer your ques
Hi all --
I was recently trying to render a pdf from docbook, but the farthest I got
was TeX. Upon calling jadetex on jade's output, metafont dumped a bunch of
complaints about missing files.
What font packages do I need installed?
TIA

Metafont is part of the TeX package (tetex-*.deb).

Dear Nils,
and all you other attentive followers of this thread:
I finally got the solution to the MF + X problem.
I was already recompiling the sources, but the strange thing was that
"--with-x" actually does appear in debian/rules. So I took a close look
at the configure files, and there I fou

Well, it's just not working. No dots in sight.
Nils, what version of Debian and teTeX are you
using? Does the output appear in the same window
where you type the commands, or does another
xterm pop up?
Puzzled,

This is hardcoded in the mf binary (do a string -a on it)
DISPLAY needs to be set tool
Here, MFTERM is not set. DISPLAY is :0.0
I think using setenv in tcsh automatically exports a variable.

What is your TERM variable set to (I tried rxvt, xterm and
xterm-debian), and do you use MFTERM (according to "man mf" not
necessary if TERM is set)? What shell do you use ("export" sounds

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

I get the same error here (I think), but that should be pretty harmless.
The Checksum mismatch error message happens with the mflogo font, which is
simply the font used to display the "METAFONT" logo.
BTW, I recommend that you modify the configuration of dvips. Personally,
I find it m

I have been playing with lyx lately, so I thought it would be a good idea
to install latex (lyx uses it). Well latex needs tex which among other
things declares a dependance on metafont. I can find no metafont package.
I assume it is a virtual package? Which *real* packages provide metafont?
TIA
