[Cfat] Re: Director's Office : TRIUMF Style Guide - Our Visual Identity

[Isabel Trigger]

Many thanks to Byron for answering my question... editing an existing 
metafont file to remove one extra orbit should be much, much easier than 
writing it from scratch!

Isabel

Go to the directory:

/triumfcs/linux/tex/texmf.local/fonts

Then the four sub-directories:

./pk/cx/public/local/tlogo.300pk
./pk/ljfour/public/local/tlogo.600pk
./source/public/local/tlogo.mf
./tfm/public/local/tlogo.tfm
