Cut out the MetaFont part into a file "llogo.mf". Add the line mode:=LNZeroThree; at the beginning (before the mode_def). 2. Run a MetaFont of your choice on it. If you want to run the one from /afs/sipb/project/tex, the easiest way is to do detach sipb attach -t afs -m /mit/sipb -e /afs/sipb/project/tex/install extend PATH /mit/sipb/bin This should generate llogo.300gf. 3. The TeX example uses the font at magnifications 1000 (=normal) and 700. If yow want to make this font too, run mf "\mag:=.7;" input llogo.mf This should generate llogo.210gf 4. Run something like gftopk llogo.300gf llogo.300pk gftopk llogo.210gf llogo.210pk if you inted to use dvips. 5. Cut out the MetaFont part into a file "llogo.tex". If the fonts are not in the same directory, adjust TEXFONTS and PKFONTS accordingly. Run TeX on the file. 6. Go wild. --bert
