I have had the same error some time ago, and solved the problem.
I sent mail to Mr. Mackay, but somehow my remarks never showed up in TexHax.
This next attempt is to post it to comp.text.

Subject:  TFM checksums and dvi2ps.

I have been playing around with Metafont and dvi2ps to generate
PostScript-TeX output for the AGFA P400PS. I found a bug in dvi2ps
that caused messages for checksum errors, while no error was present.
This happened when dvi2ps found a checksum in the dvi file (from tfm)
for a font for which no gf file was present. Dvi2ps subsequently
found a replacement font and compared its checksum to the checksum in the
dvi file. They always differ, as they should.

I have made the following changes:
dvi2ps.c:
1777,1787c1777,1779
<     switch ( findfile(&PXLpath,1,"",tfontptr->n,tfontptr->font_mag,tfontptr->name,
<                 nname, &nmag)) {
<     case 0 :
<       Fatal("no font %s.%d",tfontptr->n,mag);
<       break ;
<     case -1 : /* Found an exact match */
<       break ;
<     case 1 :
<       tfontptr->c=0 ;
<       /* Found an alternate */
<     }

findfile.c:
186,188c186,188
<             nname,bestmag,
<             name,mag);
<     return(1);
---
>             nname,(bestmag * 4 + 3) / 6,
>             name,(mag * 4 + 3) / 6);
>     return(-1);
