GREMLINS IN Solaris /usr/andrew AGAIN!

Either this fix did not get picked up, or it somehow got backed out.

Ed Barrett reports that his EZ fonts are too small to read.
Rightly so.
The global.prf file in /usr/andrew/lib is missing the all-important new
"AndyFontsFudgeFactor" value 90:2.

Please verify that the .../site/overwrites/global.prf matches the one in
/mit/andydevo/src/cmu/site/overwrites.

Please re-install global.prf in /usr/andrew/lib.
(Note, if the ez2ps and global.prf are correctly in the source tree,
doing 'make install' in site/overwrites will correctly refresh both at
once.)

Note also that if you EVER forget to put an updated source into
overwrites, the next build WILL install the old one.  The overwrites
directory is CAREFULLY documented to re-install EVERYTHING on EVERY
INSTALL.  This is so that you can do incremental builds but make sure
that the few things that MIT overwrites are ALWAYS there.
