Subject: Don't run cmmf from MakeTeXPK
In dvipsk/MakeTeXPK.in we find the following lines...
# Which version of Metafont shall we use?
case $NAME in
cm*) mf=cmmf;;
*) mf=mf;;
esac
However, these days all METAFONT source files that need cmbase start
with the following line:
if unknown cmbase: input cmbase fi
The loading of cmbase takes virtually no time. Therefore, I suggest
modifying MakeTeXPK to always run plain mf, no matter what font is to
be generated. In the same vein, I would suggest changing
web2c/Makefile.in to not create and install cmmf.base. Not that it's
such a big file, but it makes life a little simpler at negligible
cost.
