tetex URGENT: can't use ygoth font

[Yann Dirson <ydirson@a2points.com>]

Hi there,

I cannot have the ygoth fonts to work correctly, and would appreciate
some very-very-quick help.  Note that I don't use the latest versions
of tetex, and would be happy to download them iff they fix this
problem, but as I have a slow modem link, I'd prefer to be sure what
the way to the fix is.

Here is a test file:
====
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{oldgerm}

\begin{document}
\textgoth{This is some text.}
\end{document}
====

Compilation works fine. But dvips fails: it seems that mf produces
output (despite many "Strange path" warnings), but no file is created
in /var/spool/texmf/pk/ljfour/public/gothic/, which may explain why
dvips says "Font ygoth not found".

The spool dir and subdirs have mode 1777, so I think that at least
should be OK.

Here are the versions of tetex I'm using:

base:  0.4pl8-4
bin:   0.4pl8-3
extra: 0.4pl8-2


BTW, I didn't find a way to access the changelogs from the packages
WWW pages.  It would be nice to add that, if I didn't miss them.
