Beginner Installation Problems... OK... I've been building TeX for a while now. I've got it to the point where it builds just fine... and seems to be correctly installed. I'm now trying to print the "local guide" to my handy PostScript Printer. Source of my pains is as follows. I do: prtex -Pxxx -postscript -reset 4 local (just like the file PRINTDOC file sort of says...) and I get the following: Usage: /home/cidsv01d/aspg/pas/bin/prtex dvifile or /home/cidsv01d/aspg/pas/bin/prtex [-Pprinter] (must come first) [-noheader] [-letterhead] [-legal] [-ledger] [-landscape] [-postscript] [-impress] [-nospecial] [-reset number] [-quiet] [-manual] [-duplex] [-copies number] filename (- for std input) cidsv01% prtex -Pneclas -postscript -reset 4 local /home/cidsv01d/aspg/pas/lib/tex82/bin/dvi2ps, Version 3.13 of January 19, 1988 dvi file: "local.dvi" Error try to load font "cmcsc10" Global magnification: 1000 This font's magnification: 1439, a 10.00pt font used at 14.40pt.

Search path: /home/cidsv01d/aspg/pas/share/tex82/fonts dvi2ps: fatal error GetFontDefs(): Unresolvable fonts looking for .pk, .pdr files So I check: ls /home/cidsv01d/aspg/pas/share/tex82/fonts/cmc* cmcsc10.300pk cmcsc10.tfm Is there something else I need to ftp ? What do I have to do to get/build these fonts ? I have never used TeX or MetaFont before. I do not have either of their books yet. I think I have to get Metafont to build some pk files for me. Could some kind soul descibe the method I would use ? Peter Silva OS Support psilva@cid.aes.doe.ca Dorval Computing Centre (514) 421-4692 Atmospheric Environment Service
