Bug#229914: tetex-base: dvips missing tx8r.enc (for txfonts) or bad font mapping

[Phillip First <first@mr-peabody.gatech.edu>]

Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2-5.1
Severity: normal

Running dvips on a dvi file prepared using package txfonts, I received
the following message:

   dvips: ! Couldn't find header file tx8r.enc

According to the txfonts docs, tx8r.enc is the same as 8r.enc (in dir
texmf/dvips/psnfss/).  I created a symbolic link from 8r.enc to
tx8r.enc and it took care of the problem.  Informed Thomas Esser
(tetex maintainer) who responded:

>Please, report this bug to debian (after checking that this is not your

>files don't have a reference to tx8r.enc.

I don't know whether the problem is with debian, txfonts, or
dvips.  Just thought someone ought to know.
