Now I installed X, and I also installed TeX and MetaFont, yet I did not do anything explicitly to cause this to happen. Could somebody comment on how MetaFont talks to X? Where can I find documentation on the relationship between TeX/MetaFont and X? Thanks! -- Dominick Samperi -- Citicorp samperi@Citicorp.COM uunet!ccorp!samperi
