In one of the headerfiles the default mode for MakeTeXPK is set to
"cx", while xdvi searches the CanonCX directories (I think this is
in xdvi.h). After the next `ls -R /usr/gnu/lib/texmf` the generated
fonts appear in /usr/gnu/lib/texmf/ls-R and metafont uses them. So, the
fix is to change the definition of 'char *mf_mode' to "CanonCX" (or the
default mode for you).
