Pretest: dvi LaTeX, fontenc, type3 fonts

[Karl Berry]

Hi Brian,

    TeXLive Pretest 2019 without fontenc: Type 1C font.
    TeXLive Pretest 2019 with fontenc: Type 3 font with bad bounding boxes.

Do you have cm-super installed? (And, perhaps running pdflatex would
illuminate the situation. Or perhaps not.)

I get Type 1 fonts in both cases. But with fontenc, sfrm1000.pfb is
used. Without fontenc, I get the ams cmr10.pfb. This is as expected.

Why you're getting the bad bounding boxes in the fontenc case, I can't
say without seeing what actually went awry. --best, karl.

P.S. Specifically, with fontenc (tl19 pretest), I get:

$ latex fefonts && dvips fefonts && ps2pdf fefonts.ps && pdffonts fefonts.pdf
