Hmm. This isn't a jadetex bug. I think it's a tetex-extra bug.
I mean, its conceivable you might wanna build the dvi on one machine
and view it with another. Anyhow, JadeTeX doesn't reference this
stuff directly -- it's tetex-extra that has
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/times/ptmri8r.tfm .
Should I reassign this bug to tetex-extra?
