Subject: Re: MakeTeXPK question
How often should I expect MakeTeXPK to have to make fonts?
Once.
Metafont and begins to crank out what look like page numbers.
Those are character codes, actually.
It claims to put the result in some file with a font-like
name, but I can never find it. No postscript file for the
Look in the MakeTeXPK script and see what the definition of DESTDIR is.
The result is put into $DESTDIR, in a subdirectory named for the mode.
You can put an
echo $DESTDIR >&2
into the script somewhere if you want to see what it is as it runs.
input file is generated (at least nowhere I can find it).
It's sent to the printer by default (although you said you changed that?
In that case, it's sent to wherever you changed it to). Use dvips -o foo
to send output to the file foo.
My current solution is to "uninstall" MakeTeXPK by renaming

You mean it can find the fonts? It doesn't substitute cmr10 for
everything? I don't understand this.
is going wrong, that I have to do this for it to work?
I don't know. Maybe MakeTeXPK's $DESTDIR is not in the font path, so
dvips isn't searching where the fonts end up? Just a guess. What does
dvips say after it runs MakeTeXPK. If you send a transcript of a dvips
run, I might be able to guess some more...
I have not yet installed pk300, but that was supposedly
optional.
It's optional because MakeTeXPK can make the fonts dynamically :-)
You do need the fonts to actually print anything (unless you use the
builtin fonts exclusively, but never mind, that's not the issue).
Hope this helps.
