I've managed up to this point not to get my hands bloody poking around in the digestive system of TeX; guess it's that time to read up on how fonts are created. Here's the output from the canonical dvips configuration. I'm still clueless, hope it's some use to you. (ps. Is it possible that the mf.base file---like the .pool files---should be included in the distribution, or do I generate it?) > Have you try with a more canonical dvips configuration ? > If not, please try with the following `~/.dvipsrc' : > ====================================== > o > D 600 > X 600 > Y 600 > M ljfour > R 300 600 > ====================================== I've hacked my config.ps to give these settings, output attached. ------------------------------------------------------------ This is dvips(k) 5.86d Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2001.03.24:2156' -> sample2e.ps kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour% --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 cmr17 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour% and resolution 600; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1+0/600; nonstopmode; input cmr17 This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3.3) I can't find the base file `mf.base'! grep: cmr17.log: No such file or directory mktexpk: `mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1+0/600; nonstopmode; input cmr17' failed to make cmr17.600pk. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. dvips: Font cmr17 not found, characters will be left blank. kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour% --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 cmr12 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour% and resolution 600; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1+0/600; nonstopmode; input cmr12 This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3.3) I can't find the base file `mf.base'! grep: cmr12.log: No such file or directory mktexpk: `mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1+0/600; nonstopmode; input cmr12' failed to make cmr12.600pk. dvips: Font cmr12 not found, characters will be left blank.
