The problem is that for reasons I don't understand, metapost is referring to the document fonts by incorrect names. The line

%%DocumentFonts: cmr8 cmr10

in Untitled.1 (an eps file generated by metapost) should read

%%DocumentFonts: CMR8 CMR10

When that is changed, dvips applied to Untitled.dvi understands the font names in the input file correctly. There must be a metapost setting that controls this, but I don't know metapost.
