It's all looking much clearer now. >do you have one of those: >$ locate cmdunh >/usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/jknappen/sauter/b-cmdunh.mf >/usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmdunh10.mf >/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm >/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/vcm/vcmdunh10.tfm >/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm $ locate cmdunh locate: /usr/var/locatedb: No such file or directory Hmmm. I'll have to look into this. >tdemmer AT KFIDEMUC110528:/etc/setup >$ zgrep cmdunh * >tetex-base.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/jknappen/sauter/b-cmdunh.mf >tetex-base.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmdunh10.mf >tetex-base.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm >tetex-base.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/vcm/vcmdunh10.tfm >tetex-base.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmdunh10.pfb >tetex-base.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/public/vcm/vcmdunh10.vf >tetex-tiny.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmdunh10.mf >tetex-tiny.lst.gz:usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmdunh10.tfm This was when it dawned on me. I had tetex-tiny installed (it was a prerequisite for another package) but not any of the other tetex packages. Installing tetex-base fixed the problem, and everything seems to be working fine now. I guess we're left with two questions: 1) I've never properly understood the intended distinction between tetex-tiny and tetex-base. However, if tiny is intended to be a small, self-contained basic distribution, and contains the mf and tfm files for cmdunh10, shouldn't it have whatever else is required to make the font work properly in dvips, or know how to build it from the MetaFont source? 2) When I ran dvips, it presumably couldn't find the cmdunh10 font definition, so it failed to include it. However, I don't recall seeing any error message, or I might have spotted this earlier. I guess I could uninstall tetex-base to examine the dvips output again, to see whether there was anything which I should have noticed, but shouldn't dvips be more vocal? But in any case, it's working now. Many thanks indeed.
