Hi,<br>
<br>
I think the tfm generation is still broken in metapost 1.802 (I use the<br>
last Miktex distribution on windows 8).<br>
<br>
For example, if you compile the following file "test.mf"<br>
<br>
<br>
fontmaking:=1;<br>
<br>
designsize := 10;<br>
fontdimen5: 5; % xheight<br>
<br>
end.<br>
<br>
This is the pl file obtained:<br>
<br>
(DESIGNSIZE R 10.0)<br>
(COMMENT DESIGNSIZE IS IN POINTS)<br>
(COMMENT OTHER SIZES ARE MULTIPLES OF DESIGNSIZE)<br>
(CHECKSUM O 37700177400)<br>
(FONTDIMEN<br>
(SLANT R 0.0)<br>
(SPACE R 0.0)<br>
(STRETCH R 0.0)<br>
(SHRINK R 0.0)<br>
(XHEIGHT R 0.03125)<br>
)<br>
<br>
As you can see, the xheight has a completly wrong value.<br>
