I am trying to use metafont with the miktex distribution, with WinEdt as editor. metafont works and creates the .2602gf file; gftodvi works and creates the .dvi file; but when I want to view this one I have the drawing of the letter, but not as a gray character, instead I get it as series of letters. This is because I do not have the gray.pk font (gray.tfm exists). I do not manage to create the .pk font. How should I do? How could I create WinEdt controls to do automatically?

There is no gray.pk The pk's depend on the resolution of your printer. If you have a printer, say, at 600 dpi, what you are expecting is gray600.pk This can be generated by mf in two steps : 1- mf \mode=your_mode ; input gray.mf where your_mode is the appropriate mode for your printer. Look in the file modes.mf what is the best choise. On my 600 dpi laser I use mode canonex so it goes mf \mode=canonex ; input gray.mf 2- This gives you a file gray600.gf which you convert to pk with gftopk (not gftodvi) It also produces the tfm in the same time > > How could I create WinEdt controls to do automatically? Usually maketexpk takes care of that automatically (at leas on Unix and on MacOS). Dunno on win. Hope this helps Bernard
