The compiled versions of TeX and dvips in /usr/bin/tex and /usr/bin/dvips expect the default fonts file directory to be /usr/lib/tex/fonts but it is really /NextLibrary/Fonts/TeXFonts. You can overcome this by setting environment variables TEXFONTS and TEXPKS to the correct values or, more simply, create a symbolic link as ln -s /NextLibrary/Fonts/TeXFonts /usr/lib/tex/fonts (Please check these paths - I'm sending this from another machine and quoting the paths from memory.)

Thanks, Doug, for mentioning that. In fact, your suggested link > ln -s /NextLibrary/Fonts/TeXFonts /usr/lib/tex/fonts is what was intended to be on the distribution disk. A few more comments on the dvips supplied: - The parameters in the bounding box comment of PostScript files produced by dvips are flipped. - The page numbers in %%Page comments start at 0, not 1. Neither of these will prevent you from getting the correct printed output, of course. -tom
