These gf files are what you get when you run Metafont on an mf file to
build a new bitmap fount.  They are converted to pk files with gftopk.  The
whole process (missing pk file, run Metafont, run gftopk, delete the
debris) should be handled automatically by MakeTeXPK, which is integrated
into OzTeX.

(please don't send anything but plain text using email: these lines were
unreadable when I received them because Eudora displayed them in a tiny
fount size)

I'm not sure either, but if the founts aren't being produced, there's
something wrong with your OzTeX installation.  Have you got Metafont
installed?

If you can't see anything obviously wrong, seriously consider doing a clean
install of OzTeX (yes, really) and use OzTeX original, unmodified, Default
config file to make sure it all works right.
