Good afternoon.

I am sorry that I bother you with this offtopic but I don't know where else I can ask.

There is a mailing list for metafont (and metapost). To subscribe, e-mail: To: listserv@ens.fr Subject: subscribe metafont Michal Kvasnicka

Is there some simple way to do it, or have I to copy it manually like this: string b.type; b.type:=a.type; ...

direct assignment will definately not work. Some sort of automation based on the suffix names may be possible (using forsuffixes perhaps) but writing a dedicated macro is probably easiest. Greetings, Taco
