Bug#184875: tetex-bin: dvips -Ppdf won't work at all

["Silas S. Brown" <ssb22@cam.ac.uk>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-7.1
Severity: important

Hi,

Help!  I try "dvips -Ppdf somefile.dvi" and I get lots of
"font not found" messages from mktexpk, and sure enough
there are lots of blank characters.  This started happening
after I re-installed Debian stable from CD onto a fresh
partition after having too many problems with testing.  I'm
positive I've got the right font packages installed (I
haven't changed my package list).

If I try "xdvi" then that works; if I try "dvips -Ppdf"
after doing xdvi, it does find most (but not all) of the
fonts - it scales up the versions that xdvi used (which is
not so good but better than nothing).  Still loads of
characters missing in the postscript.
