[tex-k] dvipdfmx: Apparent bug

Hello,

I've run across what would appear to be a bug in dvipdfmx:

The font ttemp is meant to illustrate the max. width and height+depth of MF characters
at different resolutions.

This works:

# (Generate the fonts:  See Makefile in attached tarball.)
tex ttemp.tex
dvips -o ttemp_dvips.ps -X 300 -Y 300 ttemp.dvi
ps2pdf ttemp_dvips.ps

This doesn't:

dvipdfmx -r 300 -o ttemp_dvipdfmx.pdf filename ttemp.dvi

As the screenshot shows, the font `ttemp' is not loaded at 300dpi.  At the 300dpi,
the width and the height + depth of the characters are both 4095 pixels == 6.825in.
The page size is DIN A2 (420mm x 594mm).

Thanks,

Laurence Finston
