I don't see any of this. With one of my lmodern-using documents, with
MetaPost figures that also use lmodern for the labels, I have:

With essai.tex + rbrito.mp as given in my previous mail, I have:

LMRoman12-Regular comes from essai.tex, which has \usepackage{lmodern};
the rest comes from rbrito.mp, which starts with:

I don't see anything suspicious here.

Weird. It does here on etch and also on sid (the sid chroot isn't very
up-to-date, I'm upgrading it right now and will tell you if this changes
something once the upgrade is finished). Screenshots with xpdf and gv
here:

Here, it works fine with gv expect I get errors when I zoom too much
(i.e., 4 times). But gv has never been great for PDF viewing in my
experience...

Mmmm... no idea...

Yes, judge by yourself from the screenshots I posted.

Dunno, but you should try if possible.

You're welcome.
