Hello,
I had a LaTeX document using \mag=910 at the very beginning. TeXing
went well, as xdvi'ing too (with app defaults as:
*.maketexpk: true
*.mfmode: lqhires
*.pixelsPerInch: 360
*.expert: true
*.paper: a4
*.shrinkFactor: 6
*.hushSpecials: true
)
but dvips'ing went wrong. It seems that MakeTeXPK/mf didn't create
the font dvips wanted.
missfont.log says:
MakeTeXPK cmr10 274 300 magstep\(0.5\) cx
dvips looked for cmr10.274gf (as seen from strace). But MakeTeXPK
created cmr10.329gf (as seen from MakeTeXPK's/mf's output.)
As a temporary fix I did:

# Success. Make the PK file.
But that didn't what I want. Now dvipsk doesn't fail, but the space
between letters are too narrow.
(If I run xdvi with mode cx and resolution 300 as dvips the same
effect as with dvips occures.)
So please tell me, what's wrong?
I?
Is it a bug or a feature?
Is there possibly a bug in calculating the needed gf-file or/and the
arguments for MakeTeXPK?
heiko.
