Hi,
the LaTeX test suite uncovered a problem with at least one tfm file, namely
lcircle10.tfm from the latex-fonts package. For example, character 27 (O 33)
should have these metrics:
(CHARACTER O 33
(CHARWD R 2.8)
(CHARHT R 1.42)
(CHARDP R 1.38)
)
(freshly generated by mktextfm a few minutes ago),
but the version in texlive has
(CHARACTER O 33
(CHARWD R 2.8)
(CHARHT R 1.4249935)
(CHARDP R 1.375008)
)
Note that the baseline is shifted by 0.025pt.
A quick glance over the tftopl output shows the same shift for a lot of the
characters.
I'd be interested to understand how this happened.
For the LaTeX Team
