I'm trying to let Xdvi (patchlevel 15) work with the MakeTeXPK script from
dvips. It works OK for fonts with sizes less or equal to 746dpi 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? Does anyone have a
solution or bug fix?
