Subject: Problems creating 600dpi pk files for hp4 (again!!!) - emTeX

When I last posted I was unable to get pk files generated with the
.600 extension. A kind newsreader pointed out that I needed 
input[modes] ;
this worked. (As a note to other metafont novices, minimal.mfj is
missings interesting lines that are in other .mfj files supplied
with the beta mfjob and mf, and is not necessarily the best example
file to learn from.)

Using the beta mfjob and mf386 (latest version) I was able to
generate all the cm fonts (in all.mfj) in about 2.5 hours (not
great, but much less than the various horror stories one hears). It
also turned out to be quite simple to run mfjob and geenrate the pk
fonts (once I remember to rtfm and run bas.bat - yes I still live in
the dos world).

Ok, now I go to print the file. Instead of lovely 600 dpi output, I
get output where each letter is more or less twice as large as it
should be. I think I got the .cnf file right, but wouldn't bet on
it. In any event, the .dlg file is appended. If anyone could tell me
what i am doing wrong I would appreciate it.

Once I get this all straightened out, I would be glad to make the 
fonts availalbe, if they actually do what they are supposed to. 

As always, many thanks.

Neal
