Look at one of your TFM files to see what is happening.  A version of MetaFont
that I tried to use had a problem because a certain compiler would (by default)
write 32 bits every time you tried to send one character.  When I saw what
was happening, I could look in the compiler docs and use the appropriate
compiler directive to defeat this.  TFM files are binary, so you should
also avoid the trap of opening the file as a text file.
