You have to run metafont with shogi10.mf with the appropriate settings for
your printer and tell it to generate the tfm-file as well. But be warned,
the shogi10.mf is of rather poor quality: it's not hand-crafted, but scanned
and the scan has been used to trace the outlines for the .mf-file so there's
next to no chance of improving it. It looks acceptable at small sizes, however.
Another possibility is using the TeX/metafont package I have written to
print Shogi, Chu-Shogi and Tenjiku Shogi diagrams. I guess it's available from
Colin Adams's homepage http://www.colina.demon.co.uk. --- There at least, you
can change anything you don't like and the font is reasonably parametrized.
