In case dvilj is missing bitmap fonts it will give out a warning, naming the missing
font. There are a number of ways for a program to help the user create these fonts;
dvips for instance creates the fonts itself on the fly. On the other hand dvilj needs a couple of hundred kB to begin with and needs almost 1 MB so I have
my doubts whether it would be wise to demand a wimpslot of around 1.5 MB as this would
necessitate. Not to mention the fact that dvips has crashed the entire desktop
on me on a number of occasions while creating fonts.
Therefore I've opted for creating a task obey file that contains all the necessary
commands to and related programs to create the fonts. This file is created
in your document folder under the name lj-fonts. Simply double-click on it
after dvilj has terminated6and all the missing fonts should be created in a taskwindow. Since you'll be needing
modes for named hplaser7 and ljiv8 you should read
section first, though. If you whish to use other modes you'll have to
edit the task obey file by hand.
In case you're missing the .mf file for a particular font dvilj will warn you
about that. This means that no bitmaps can be created for this font and thus nothing
will be added to lj-fonts. In a case like this I recommend looking up the
missing fonts at a CTAN server and kiss some more of your harddisk space goodbye.
