Bug#137745: mktexpk's font generation fails -- dvi2ps and xdvi-ja not usable
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-3.1
Tags: woody
severity: important
dvi2ps and xdvi-ja both use mktexpk to render fonts. I just typed
"dvi2ps <file>.dvi" and got the following output:
@(#)dvi2ps 3.0a1

Reading font info .....
[1]
The fonts that are searched for are all installed:
spock@snail:~/txt$ find /usr/share/texmf/ -iname "cmr10*"
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmr10.mf
I just tried to run dvi2ps as root. Now everything works fine. So maybe
just the config script failed to setup everything correctly? Or is that
even my fault??
