Summary0000855: Tfm generation broken
DescriptionFrom Paul Pichaureau:

I think the tfm generation is still broken in metapost 1.802 (I use the last Miktex distribution on windows 8).

For example, if you compile the following file "test.mf"


fontmaking:=1;

designsize := 10;
fontdimen5: 5; % xheight

end.

This is the pl file obtained:

(DESIGNSIZE R 10.0)
(COMMENT DESIGNSIZE IS IN POINTS)
(COMMENT OTHER SIZES ARE MULTIPLES OF DESIGNSIZE)
(CHECKSUM O 37700177400)
(FONTDIMEN
   (SLANT R 0.0)
   (SPACE R 0.0)
   (STRETCH R 0.0)
   (SHRINK R 0.0)
   (XHEIGHT R 0.03125)
   )

As you can see, the xheight has a completly wrong value.

(I'm the developper of the mathdesign fonts, which are completly done with metapost, so this problem is very annoying for me!)
