Subject: ack. xdvi can't find fonts - help pleeze
Date: Thu, 04 Jun 1992 03:14:30 GMT

Well, I've recompiled xdvi three times, twice from sources on tsx-11 and once
from the base distribution (I got it off of gatekeeper.dec.com)... The compile
goes fine, the program appears to run, but when I try to run it on a simple
test dvi file, it can't find the fonts it needs. I untarred the
texpk300.tar.Z file into /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/pk.300, and untarred
textfm.tar.Z into /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/tfm. In my Makefile for xdvi, I
set the following:

DEFAULT_FONT_PATH=.:/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/pk.300:/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/tfm

and recompiled. But I get this error message when I try to xdvi test.dvi:

Can't find font cmex10.
Can't find font cmmi10.
Can't find font cmr7.
Can't find font cmr10.
xdvi: Not all pixel files were found

and then it quits. Obviously it doesn't like where I put the fonts. Could
somebody either a) tell me what to set my compile flags to so this works
properly or b) tell me where to put the fonts, or c) send my a statically-
linked binary that WORKS and tell me where they have their fonts and which
ones they have? Thanks a million.

P.S. - I compiled gnuplot from the standard distribution so that it works
       with the color xterm terminal types x11 and X11 - if there's enough
       interest, I'll upload statically linked binaries to tsx-11 or somewhere.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,

Joe
