From: nordwick AT graft DOT XCF DOT Berkeley DOT EDU (Jason Alan Nordwick) Subject: Anybody ever gotten dvips (TeX) to work ? 27 Dec 1997 21:52:27 -0800 Message-ID: <199712280542.VAA28785.cygnus.gnu-win32@graft.XCF.Berkeley.EDU> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I have TeX/LaTeX working, generating dvis, and yap can view them. But when I run dvips, I get some font errors. I installed with all the defaults. Can anybody please help me, I really need to get this working soon. Here is the result of running dvips on a dvi file generated from LaTeX (MiKTeX). Also, what do pdftex and pdflatex do ? I thought that they might generate pdf files, but they still give me a dvi file and dvips chokes on.
