[comp.text] Bug in font CMTI

I am having a problem with a bug in one of the CM fonts. My screen
previewer needs fonts in small sizes, say smaller than 174 d.p.i. 
The font cmtix, where x is any number, seems to have a bug, in
sizes smaller than 174 d.p.i. The lower case letter "l" has gaps
in the stem. I have tried to fix this by patching the .pxl files,
to no avail - the pxtopk program I have doesn't work. Does anyone
know a sure-fire way to patch fonts, preferably on an IBM-PC?
Alternatively, how do I change the metafont input files to make
the output look ok?
