Help: Problem in Creating missing fonts with dvips

Post by Q. H » Wed, 28 May 1997 04:00:00



Hello,

Could anybody help me with the following problem? When I run dvips32 to
get a PS file I got message as

C:\EMTEX\BIN\DVIPS32.EXE: Font cmbx10 at 746 dpi not found, characters will be
left blank.
- maketexp logo10 329 300  1.095445115 laserjet
Run "mfjob dvips"
C:\EMTEX\BIN\DVIPS32.EXE: Font logo10 at 329 dpi not found, characters will be
left blank.
- maketexp cminch 329 300  1.095445115 laserjet
Run "mfjob dvips"
....

C:\EMTEX\BIN\DVIPS32.EXE: Font cmsy7 at 329 dpi not found, characters will be
le
ft blank.

However, when I type in "mfjob dvips" I got a message saying

   Bad command or file name

Any hint will be appreciated.

Why don't you just call dvips32.exe with dvidrv.exe in front? Type
dvidrv dvips32 yourfilename and let the automatic fontgeneration do
its work.

Today, `dvips' started to barf at us because some fonts could not get
created.

I have not the slightest idea where to look or what might be the cause
for this, since it worked before w/o problem.  We had recently added
some unrelated files to our local texmf tree and re-ran texhash, so
the ls-lR files have been rebuilt.

The only phvr8rn files we have in the main tetex tree are:

    % find . -name phvr8rn\*
    ./fonts/pk/modeless/adobe/helvetic/phvr8rn.1080pk
    ./fonts/tfm/adobe/helvetic/phvr8rn.tfm

    % kpsewhich tfm phvr8rn.tfm
    /disk1/software/tetex/1.0/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/helvetic/phvr8rn.tfm

Directory access dates do not show anything unusual (file removals).

If anyone has a tip where to look or what to fix, I'd be very
thankful.
