Bug#184875: tetex-bin: Reduced testcase for -Ppdf bug
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-7
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #184875
Here's a reduced testcase.
------snip------
\documentclass[12pt]{letter}
\usepackage{bbold}
\begin{document}
The field of rational numbers is often denoted $\mathbb{Q}$.
\end{document}
------snip------
I used the following commands to generate a high-resolution postscript
file:
$ latex foo.tex
$ dvips -Ppdf -o foo.ps -t letter foo.dvi
If you have /var/cache/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/bbold/bbold12.600pk, dvips
prints

' TeX output 2004.02.26:1214' -> dbug184875.ps
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 8000 --mag 1+0/8000 --dpi 8000 bbold12
mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 8000; ignoring mode.
mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 8000 dpi devices.
mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
dvips: Font bbold12 at 8000 not found; scaling 600 instead.
dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output.
<tex.pro><alt-rule.pro><texc.pro><f7b6d320.enc><texps.pro>.

If you *don't* have that file (which is generated by the same
commandline, but without -Ppdf), dvips prints

In the latter case, a blank space appears where there's supposed to be a
blackboard bold Q.
Oh, and I have installed
