Hi Jim:

Here are the results of a simple test I tried with -DPLD_plmeta=ON

# Build what is relevant
make plrender
make plmeta
make x01c
make ps

# Test
examples/c/x01c -dev psc -o test1.psc
examples/c/x01c -dev plmeta -o test.plmeta
utils/plrender test.plmeta -dev psc -o test2.psc

There were no build issues and no run time issues.  However, test1.psc
was quite different (text size, etc.,) from test2.psc, and I was under
the impression that the effect of all your recent plmeta/plrender
changes was those two files should be identical (modulo the
possibility of some small rounding errors).

This issue is not release critical (since -DPLD_plmeta=OFF by
default), and I definitely don't plan to push any further
plmeta/plrender changes prior to the release (deep freeze and all
that) nor try -DPLD_plmeta=ON again until post-release.  However, I
did notice this issue so I thought I should bring it to your
attention, and I encourage you to follow up immediately on a topic
branch with the goal of pushing the plmeta/plrender fix for this issue
soon after the release.
