[tex-k] Broken "-tex" option in MetaPost

[Karl Berry]

Igor,

See reply from Taco below.

If further bug reports about mpost and related, please write
mp-implementors (at) tug.org directly. The mp maintainers are not
subscribed to tex-k.

General discussion about metapost should go to metapost (at) tug.org.

Thanks,
Karl

Hi,

If I recall correctly, \hoffset and \voffset are not part of the
DVI file format; their values are processed before the output
is written. So, I assume this would be not be possible without
adding additional options to dvitomp.

Best wishes,
Taco
