Oh, sorry I wasn't clear about this. I've been using the cont-tmf from
2002.10.11. m-graph.tex from that version is the same version as what
currently up there (2002.10.23) . I have indeed been using 
\usemodule[graph], and getting generally good results once texnum.mpx is
around. 

I'd call it a very repeatable bug (installation issue?). When there is no
texexec.mpx in the current directory: no MP graphs; if there is: fairly
nice results. The labels are correctly typeset, but the axis numbers are
not (the cmr problem below).

If you're saying that it should be taken care of, then there's probably
something wrong with my installation that's not dynamically generating
texnum.mpx when it's supposed to.

Hmm. Seeing as everything that relies on m-graph is working fine, I'm
more convinced it's in the on-the-fly generation of mpx files. I had
problems with it with MPXCOMMAND as both makempx and texexec.

Many thanks,
