I don't know when/where you got your ps2mf, but I may have written
your hints.mf.

If your hints.mf is the one I wrote:

Take it from me, hints.mf is a total hack.  I have long since stopped
using ps2mf in favor of the ps2pk package.  Use ps2pk instead!  You
can get it by anonymous ftp:

ftp.urc.tue.nl:/pub/tex/ps2pk12.tar.Z
ftp.urc.tue.nl:/pub/tex/ps2pk386.zip (precompiled for 386 machine)

It renders a font (on my SPARC 1) in about two seconds as opposed to
ps2mf's two minutes, because it bypasses MF.  Produces PK files
directly, too.
