I'm trying to let Xdvi work with the MakeTeXPK script from dvips. It works
OK for fonts with sizes less or equal to 746 but not with larger font sizes:

- MakeTeXPK lcmssb8 895 300 2+295/300
virmf &plain \mode:=imagen; mag:=2+295/300; scrollmode; input lcmssb8 \</dev/null
This is METAFONT, C Version 2.7

(/usr/local/lib/mf/inputs/lcmssb8.mf (/usr/local/lib/mf/inputs/cmbase.mf)
[...]
[124]) ) )
Font metrics written on lcmssb8.tfm.
Output written on lcmssb8.895gf (128 characters, 26480 bytes).
Transcript written on lcmssb8.log.
Can't find font lcmssb8 at 896 dpi; using 746 dpi instead.

Xdvi looks for 896dpi, but the arguments it gives to MakeTeXPK are for
895dpi. Is this a possible rounding error in Xdvi? Has anyone else noticed
this behaviour?
