TeX - LaTeX Asked on August 25, 2021
I tried the first experiment in chapter 5 in the Metafontbook: ran mf, typed
relax and drawdot (35,70); showit;. This opened a window entitled
Metafont, but containing nothing. What’s missing? Using TeXlive 2020 on Linux.
PS. After adding drawdot (65,70); showit; I see both dots.
PS II. Which have now disappeared, after I changed window-manager workspace and back.
PS III. Typing showit; before the first drawdot opens a window and allows the first dot to be seen, but after having switched workspaces and back, I haven’t found any way of bringing the picture back, short of drawing something more and showing it.
Until this is fixed (in X?), do the following.
Before drawing anything, type openit; to open a window. If you have left the workspace and come back, type openit; showit; to redraw the current picture. (Gleaned from the METAFONTbook p. 192.)
