Subject: dvipsk 5.528a bug?
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 1994 11:08:25 -0400
From: Sumitra Chary <[e-mail]>


The following problem was seen when running dvipsk5.528a. THis was compiled
and executed on a sparc station running solaris 2.3.

> This is dvipsk 5.528a Copyright 1986, 1994 Radical Eye Software

cmmf DOES create the font in the above case at the appropriate location but
dvips does not pick it up, hence generating 600 scaling output.

On running dvips the second time around on the same file works since this
time it finds the font created the last time and does not have to run
MakeTeXPK.

Is this solved in dvipsk-5.55a ?

Thank you for any assistance.
