[metapost] Problem with generating EPS from MetaFont source

[Michael Ummels]

Sorry, when stripping the test file, I removed some dimensions. If you want
to compile test.mf using MetaFont, replace the line

define_whole_pixels(equal_spread, arrow_horiz_len,
arrow_vert_len, arrow_diag_len, arrow_spread, line_thickness,
rule_thickness, side_bearing);

by

define_whole_pixels(equal_spread, arrow_diag_len, arrow_spread,
line_thickness, rule_thickness, side_bearing);

Then, if you run "mf '\mode:=localfont; input test'", you will see that it
compiles just fine.
