I am using Metafont to generate fonts for a NEC P6 (an Epson LQ1500
compatible) in 360-dpi graphic mode.  Unfortunately, at that resolution
blacker needs to be about -.5, which causes many "bad penpos" and a few
"Strange path (turning number is zero)" errors in some of the CM fonts
(especially the 'tt' fonts).  Despite the errors, the generated fonts look
ok.  Is this something I should worry about, or can I safely ignore it?

				Thanks,
				Bob Mitchell.
