I have a problem making LaTeX on a Sony News 3860 (MIPS processor). I have already made LaTeX on many different machines (including DEcstation 3100 with the same processor, and News 1860 from the same company) from the same sources, but I have never encountered this problem. LaTeX compiles and runs fine (no error messages). Most text comes out fine. However boxes appear to come out as if they were empty. For instance I have a number of tables typeset with \newcommand{\BOX}[1]{\fbox{\parbox{\textwidth}{\small #1}}} On the Sony 3840 all I get is a minuscule framebox with no contents. I know the intended contnts *have* been typeset because I get the corresponding {under,over}full box messages. Lists also come out strangely. For instance bullets are not printed. If anybody has a clue, please send me mail. virtex/initex are compiled in C using web2c. Of course I tried recompiling from scratch and re-installing, but to no avail. -- Marc Shapiro INRIA, B.P. 105, 78153 Rocquencourt Cedex, France.
