Hello,
pw> On this version what seems to be occuring is that the font is being built
pw> SILENTLY and DVIPSK is not waiting until the font is built before
pw> proceeding. This means that the job finishes with blanks where characters
pw> from the missing font should be. Running the job again is then successful.
I had a similar problem. I do not know this is of any relevance for
you , but perhaps the following gives you a hint.
In our case, dvipsk (and xdvik) did run MakeTeXPK, but didn't use the
new font after it had been built. The new font was used, when I
started dvipsk again. The reason for this behaviour was, that I was
using an old version of MakeTeXPK. The new dvipsk expects MakeTeXPK to
output to stdout the name of the new pk file and only that. Of course
the MakeTeXPK coming with the new dvipsk does this, but my old version
did not. Hence dvipsk 'thought', that building the new pk file had
failed. With the new MakeTeXPK we had no problems.
Hope that helps.
-----------------
Karl, perhaps you could include a short note in the INSTALL file,
saying that NOT installing the new MakeTeXPK can lead to the above
mentioned problem?
