[comp.text.tex] msbm5.mf compilation problem

sean@aipna.ed.ac.uk (12/14/90)

I have a problem with msbm{5,6}.mf

when I try to compile them they complain and produce an error
in the middle of building the Blackboard bold characters.
----------------------------------------
         ...[76]
! The paths don't intersect.
<to be read again>
                   ;
intersectionpoint->...The paths don't intersect");
                                                  origin.else:0.5[point.x_.o...
<to be read again>
                   ;
l.377 ...ef1 intersectionpoint ((x3l,0)--(x3l,h));

This error message was generated by an `errmessage'
command, so I can't give any explicit help.

                   ;
intersectionpoint->...The paths don't intersect");
                                                  origin.else:0.5[point.x_.o...
<to be read again>
                   ;
l.378 ...ef1 intersectionpoint ((x3r,0)--(x3r,h));

(That was another `errmessage'.)

----------------------------------------
As you can see, the job picks itself up and does not seem to drop any
characters; eventually it finishes and tfm and gf files are created, but the
characters look slightly damaged.

Any ideas what is wrong?   Have I just got a damaged xbcaps.mf?
