- As you're using VMS, it's more likely to be the font file organisation.
- You can do it one of two ways, either one huge directory with all files
- at all \magsteps, names, eg, cmr10.300pk, cmr10.329pk etc, OR
- lots of different directories, each named with the numeric dot-density
- [.300], [.329] etc, and the files in them named like the PC ones, cmr10.pk
- etc. If you pick the second method, your tex_pk definition must end
- with a period before the closing "]", which implies the fonts are in
- separate subdirectories, eg def/nolog tex_pk dua2:[tex.pkfonts.]
- Omitting the trailing period implies the first type of organisation.
