[E] Edit printer definitions
The file ?:\emtex\metafont\mfinput\local.mf contains the printer definitions used by
Metafont to generate the printer fonts. The file ?:\emtex\metafont\mfjob\modes.mfj
contains several directory settings, path and environment definitions needed to run
Metafont for several predefined printers (see the 4TeX printer list in Section 6.6).
When you have changed a printer definition or added a new printer, you
need to generate new Metafont format files (e.g., for use with automatic font
generation).
[F] generate MetaFont Format
runs INI-Metafont to generate the specified format(s).
[L] show Log file
If Metafont detects errors, they are written in a logfile. Use this option to view the
logfile.
[O] change emTeX Options
4TeX automatically sets the options for the Metafont compilers (see Figure 4.17).
Warning: it is not recommended to change them, unless you have studied the
documentation very carefully.
