I had installed dvips 5.39 before I installed dvips 5.39. I noticed a very strange difference between the two version. 5.39 used to generate PK fonts from metafonts using "MakeTeXPK" script. 5.4 touches the same script doing nothing. For example, I have gotten the follwing log from a sample execution of dvips5.4 % dvips local1 This is dvips, version 5.4 (C) 1986-90 Radical Eye Software ' TeX output 1990.12.15:1855' -> local1.ps - MakeTeXPK cmcsc10 360 300 magstep\(1.0\) dvips: Font cmcsc10.300pk at 360 not found; scaling 300 instead. dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output. <tex.pro>. [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] ---c---------c-----------c---------c------- So I had to explicitly type "MakeTeXPK cmcsc10 360 300 magstep\(1.0\)" and reissue "dvips local1". Then dvips processes "local1.tex" without complain. This means that I installed "mf" and "MakeTeXPK" properly. Am I missing something? Or has dvips 5.4 really changed as above? Please email.
