Hi,

I'm having trouble when a scale a font, say,
\font\twicefiverm=cmr5 at 10pt.
TeX does everything well, and dvips has MakeTeXPK call Metafont
to generate the appropriate pk file, but when I print the results,
there are bits of the characters missing, and sometimes entire
letters are gone (the o is a prime candidate for disappearing).

I use WEB2C 5.81c and dvips 5.485 on a HP9000 mini (Unix).

P.S.
I also got the pk files for the required magnification from the
net, and they work fine, so the error must be in something I do
(or do not do).

Please mail me directly.
