[comp.sys.next] dvips problem

mephdbo@prism.gatech.EDU (Deeptendu Majumder) (03/03/90)

I have a problem. After I am able to
run LaTeX and view the dvi file through
texview I try running dvips on the dvi
file to get the postscript version for
printing.

I type dvips -r input > output

I have a problem at this point. here is
the diagnostic output....



This is dvips, version 3.6 (C) 1987-9 Radical Eye Software
' TeX output 1990.02.28:2026'
- MakeTeXPK cmbx10 518 300 magstep\(3.0\)
This is METAFONT, C Version 1.7 (no base preloaded)

Metafont failed for some reason on cmbx10.518gf
dvips: Could not open cmbx10.518pk, loading tfm
dvips: Could not open cmsy10.360pk, loading tfm
dvips: Could not open cmbx12.300pk, loading tfm
[tex.pro]. [6] [5] [4] [3] [2] [1] 

In the output file I find that most of the 
section headers are missing...rest of the text
comes out more or less Ok.
This does not happen when I run dvi2ps on Sun
or Sequent machines. But then I cannot print
their postscript output on NeXT.

Any help will be most appreciated

Thanks
