Page E193, line 7 says:
beginchar("0",9u#,fig_height#,0);
... (a copy of the program for `0' in romand comes here)
penlabels(1,2,3,4); endchar;
But if you consult the official MF sources, you'll find in itald.mf
x2r=hround(1.5u-.5curve);
where romand.mf says
x2r=hround max(.7u,1.45u-.5curve);
So the skeleton of the italic "0" isn't quite the same as the roman "0",
despite what page E24, line 4 says.
Pages E543ff may have the same problem: compared with greekl.mf, the
skeletons of the Greek letters in tsetsl.mf have actually been optimized
for the extended-ASCII typewriter font.
