texfont error

[Johan Sandblom]

I have not used texfont in quite a while, but it seems something has
gone wrong as this was the output I got. Same result if prefixed with
texmfstart. This is debian linux and perl is

~$ perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi

~$ texfont

Digging further reveals a working texfont.pl installed with debians
texlive. The two texfonts claim to be the same version (in header) but
are quite different. Both are included in the attached zip.

But it's true that some variables ($lm and such) were added recently
without declaring them first and adding some default value somewhere,
so perl complains about "undeclared variables" (adding "my $lm" at the
beginning surely helps, but that's not the only undeclared variable).

The problem is exactly that: the latest version "doesn't work".

But I can't comment much more - whenever I try to use it under windows
I give up trying to find the cause of the problems and proceed
manually (texfont claims to have produced such-and-such files, but no
files are created and no checking is made whether they are produced or
not - some steps which return an error are simply ignored).
