It shouldn't generate missing fonts when you invoke latex. It should
only generate fonts using dvilj or dvivga. If you use a windows
dvi-viewer, you probably have to generate the fonts yourself (for
example by dvilj-ing your dvi-files, and using the laserjet fonts in
dviwin)

You did set 
+TEXMF=%DJDIR%/share/texmf
+TEXMFCNF=.;$SELFAUTODIR/share/texmf/web2c;%DJDIR%/share/texmf/web2c
in your DJGPP.ENV in the right place? (I think you did, as compiling
your TeX-file seems to work, as you don't mention it here.)

Reread section IV of the TeX.readme, if all this doesn't help you.

hth,
 Robert.
