[tex-k] Incorrect sizes in GFtoDVI output

Hi all,

Consider the following `x.mf'

    mode=localfont;
    mode_setup;
    beginchar("e",10pt#,7.5pt#,2.5pt#);
    pickup pencircle;
    draw origin;
    endchar;
    end

Run `mf x', `gftodvi x.600gf' and `dvitype x'

First of all, what does this line in the output mean?

    Font 1: cmr8Font 2: cmtt10Font 3: grayFont 5: logo8

Then we have a lot of warnings:

    182: setchar77 h:=0+456126=456126, hh:=58 warning: |h|>0!
    183: setchar69 h:=456126+360590=816716, hh:=104 warning: |h|>456126!
    184: setchar84 h:=816716+336706=1153422, hh:=147 warning: |h|>816716!
    etc.

Are the warnings because of GFtoDVI or because of MF?

Also, we have

    maxv=3339950, maxh=0

But according to my calculations, maxv must be 778536, and maxh is
evidently non-zero
("METAFONT output YYYY.MM.DD:NNNN  Page 1  Character 101").

Greetings,
Igor
