  13. I had the same problem when I first used dvitps.
  14.                         
  15. It seems that the Enviroment variables for the dvitps program
  16. aren't set. So it can't find the fonts. :-(
  17.                         
  18. You can fix it if you set the following variables:
  19.                         
  20. TEXFONTS_DVITPS_GF
  21. TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PK
  22. TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PDR
  23. TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PD
  24.                
  25. The syntax is:
  26.  
  27. <path_for_PS-Fonts>:.:<path_for_TeX_fonts>
  28.  
  29. In my installation they are set:
  30.  
  31. TEXFONTS_DVITPS_GF = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts/gf:.:$TEXPATH/fonts
  32. TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PK = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts/pk:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"
  33. TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PDR = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"
  34. TEXFONTS_DVITPS = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"
  35.  
  36. $TEXPATH indicates where TeX is installed.
  37.  
  38. I hope you can fix the problem now.
