-<h3>Checksum mismatch in font</h3>
-<p/>When Metafont generates a font it includes a checksum in the font bitmap
-file, and in the font metrics file (TFM). (La)TeX includes
-the checksum from the TFM file in the DVI file.
-<p/>When <i>dvips</i> (or other DVI drivers) process a
-DVI file, they compare checksums in the DVI file to
-those in the bitmap fonts being used for character images. If the
-checksums don&rsquo;t match, it means the font metric file used by (La)TeX
-was not generated from the same Metafont program that generated the
-font.
-<p/>This commonly occurs when you&rsquo;re processing someone else&rsquo;s DVI
-file.
-<p/>The fonts on your system may also be at fault: possibilities are that
-the new TFM was not installed, or installed in a path after an
-old TFM file, or that you have a personal cache of bitmaps from
-an old version of the font.
-<p/>In any case, look at the output &ndash; the chances are that it&rsquo;s perfectly
-OK, since metrics tend not to change, even when the bitmaps are
-improved. (Indeed, many font designers &mdash; Knuth included &mdash;
-maintain the metrics come what may.)
-<p/>If the output <em>does</em> look bad, your only chance is to regenerate
-things from scratch. Options include: flushing your bitmap cache,
-rebuild the TFM file locally, and so on.
