This might be considered a little off topic but I take the liberty to
draw your attention to a problem with the mpost distribution. If there
is really a problem with that distribution, I think it is in our
interest to remedy it.
I made mpost from the mpost-1.101 distribution (sh build.sh), then
updated mpost.mem and finally called make in the manual directory of
this distribution. Surprisingly a faulty cmr10.tfm was flagged. The
output being:
122 ~/TeX/metapost/metapost-1.101/manual: make
mpost -tex=tex mpman
This is MetaPost, version 1.101 (kpathsea version 3.5.7)
(./mpman.mp (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/metapost/base/boxes.mp)
! Font cmr10 not usable: TFM file is bad.

;
As can be seen, I am using the texlive/2008 distribution (on Macintosh
MACOSX 10.5.6).
Searching for cmr10.tfm delivers:
120 ~/TeX/metapost/metapost-1.101/manual: kpsewhich cmr10.tfm
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
Which should be fine in my opinion.
The question: Are there people out there who would be willing try the
same and report the result? This is the first step to locate the
problem: is this is local or does it occur elsewhere and on different
systems too?
