I am trying to install TeX etc and was checking the functionality of
metafont. In particular, I found a problem when testing the visual
interface as described in Ch.5 of the metafontbook:

   **\relax
   *drawdot (35,70); showit;

just opens up a blank window the size of the screen (displaying nothing).
Settings:
#define X11WIN  (in site.h)

x11lib=-L/usr/local/X11R5/lib -lXt -lX11

Thanks for your help.

Paul
