This file lists changes to the METAFONT manual, occurring since its publication
as a Stanford report in 1979 (which is the same as the version published by
Digital Press in December 1979). The programs and font specifications in
Appendix E are under constant revision, and their current status will not
be maintained in this document until they become stable; however, some
significant changes to that appendix are listed below.
Page 87, bottom line, "c ↔ px" should be "m ↔ px"
Page 88, lines 2-3, change "Fortunately ... x-height." to:
Variable m is used to stand for the x-height, since a line at this height is
traditionally called the "mean line."
Page 88, line 6, a "c" is in row c →→ an "m" is in row m
(and so on, changing c to m in lines 7 and 8)
Page 88, line 7, change "pixel ... appears" to "pixels ... appear"
Page 90, lines 16-19 of Figure E-2 should be indented
Page 91, lines 12 and 16 of Fig. E-3, change "counter" to "bowl"
Page 91, line -11, a "W" too. →→ "M" and "W".
Page 92, lines 5 and 17, change c to m
Page 93, line 19 should be "y5 = y6 = m; draw 5..6; % mean line (x-height)"
