modes.mf 3.0 available



I have released version 3.0 of modes.mf.  You can get it by anonymous ftp from

	ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf

and shortly from ftp.cdrom.com:pub/tex/modes.mf and the ctan sites in
/tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-3.0.mf.  finger ctan@ftp.shsu.edu for a
list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors.  The mailing list
tex-archive@math.utah.edu receives most TeX-related announcements; email
tex-archive-request@math.utah.edu to join.

You can also get it by email from if you cannot ftp: email
fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of `sendme modes'.

News:
- most importantly, a new and much cleaner way of doing write/white
  changes, compatible with the DC fonts as well as CM, etc. This *does*
  affect the rasterization to some extent, but in the cases I tried, it
  was no worse, and sometimes better.
- a small test file, modetest.tex, included.
- new modes for the Amiga ShowDVI previewer, PC previewing,
  high-resolution fax, LJ 5, Canon BJC, Lexmark Optra 4049 R, Agfa 3400PS.
- default localfont now ljfour.
- screen_rows, screen_cols interchanged to match plain.mf.
- TeX formatting improved, but still not completely working.

As always, thanks to the contributors, and further additions and
improvements are welcome.  Please send bug reports or suggestions to
tex-fonts@math.utah.edu (email tex-fonts-request to join the mailing list).


General information:

modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's.  It also makes common
definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and
landscape mode.  It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the
original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c)
or rename the file and remove unneeded modes.  I can't decipher mf.web
well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some
Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it.

If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
existing ones, please send them to me.  Improvements to the exposition,
particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome.
