Hello all,

It seems that when I built MetaFont I included X11 window support.  The
dvips program will automagically run MetaFont when it discovers that
a specific magnification of a font is missing.  This is wonderful, except
that I do not want or need to see MetaFont building each character.  Is
there a way to tell MetaFont to not use X11?  Would just unsetting the
DISPLAY environment variable do the trick?

Thanks.
