problems running dvips (or xdvi) OR what's up with tetex?
Hi all,
I'm trying to update my resume. I've run latex on the file with no
errors reported, but if I try to view the dvi file or make a postscript
file, I get a bunch of errors complaining about not being able to find
fonts. I've never used any fonts other than the default fonts that come
with the system.
I originally wrote my resume under slink, and now I'm running potato.
Okay here is part of the error message:
This is dvips(k) 5.82 Copyright 1998 Radical Eye Software
(www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 1999.07.08:2254' -> resume.ps
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag magstep\(2.0\)
--dpi 864 cmbx12
mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 600; ignoring mode.
mktexpk: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=magstep(2.0); nonstopmode; input
cmbx12
This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.2)
I can't find the base file `mf.base'!
mktexpk: `mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=magstep(2.0); nonstopmode; input
cmbx12' failed.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
dvips: Font cmbx12 not found, characters will be left blank.
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600
cmr12
mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 600; ignoring mode.
mktexpk: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1+0/600; nonstopmode; input
cmr12
and it keeps repeating until the file is processed. I searched for
mf.base and cmbx12 and they aren't even installed. They are supposed to
be in tetex-base (which I have installed) under /usr/share/texmf/fonts,
but there are any files there nor any where on my system.
Does anyone use TeX/LaTeX here. Have you had this problem? Know how to
fix it?
tia
