OK.  I sure hate to take responsibility for cvs administration because you
can really screw things up.  However, since Maurice was unavailable I read
up on this using cvs info.

Apparently the thing to do for binary files from a Unix/Linux system (windows
would be different!) is

cd plplot/lib
cvs admin -kb *.fnt

followed by

cvs update -A *.fnt

I have no understanding of why this is supposed to work, but that is what
I did.  The files are the same for me according to cksum.

Vince, please let me know whether this sorts out the problem for you.
