Problem getting igo to work in Linux: Metafonts

Post by Michiel »

In a nutshell, I have to display go diagrams in my latex document. I've looked at several plugins to do it, and I like the one called igo best. It's got great syntax and graphics. Problem is, I can't get it to work under Linux (Gentoo). The fonts that came with it are .mf (metafont) files, and as far as I can figure out, I need .tfm files. The program 'mf' doesn't seem to work. I get certain errors processing the given .mf files.

Could someone help me out? Would it help if someone with Windows created the .tfm files for me, maybe?

Thanks in advance!

I got it. It may sound stupid, but I just had to put the fonts in the same folder as the latex-file (or, I suppose, any folder that latex can find) and latex automatically fixes the fonts it needs.

Still doesn't work correctly with dvi files. But I was planning to render pdf files anyway, which does work.
