I'm using dvi3ps (Kevin Coombe's dvi2ps amalgamations) and I have only two problems. First, I had to make minor mods to use ledger-sized paper, not that the two lines were a big problem. Now, however, I wish to print dvi-ivd files. Does anyone have a dvi2ps that supports the extensions to typeset right to left? Elizabeth Zwicky zwicky@itstd.sri.com

Does anyone have a dvi2ps that supports the > extensions to typeset right to left? I didn't include support for dvi-ivd when I merged various versions of dvi2ps for a number of reasons. Mainly, the concensus among the experts seems to be that such extensions should be handled by filtering programs and not directly by printer drivers. There is a program called ivd2dvi, by Larry Denenberg, available by anonymous ftp from june.cs.washington.edu (as part of the standard Unix TeX distribution) which converts dvi-ivd files to ordinary dvi files which can then be printed by any printer driver.

From: Susanne Commisso (Eastman Kodak Company) Date: October 31, 1990 Re: Trouble in converting a dvi file produced by latex to postscript I am just bringing up latex on my Sun and was able to run the sample.tex through latex to produce sample.dvi. When I try to convert this dvi file to a ps file using "dvi2ps" I get the following error: [util/lib/TeX/ps/tex.ps] dvi2ps: internal - pre-string - TeX output 1990.10.30:1550 got POST command now reading font defsReadFontDef k=15 c=1327620741 s=458752 d=458752 a=0 l=5 n=cmsy7 mag=300 gmag=1000 dvi2ps: Substituted font cmsy7.300gf -> /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/gf opening (new slot) font file /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/gf dvi2ps: FATAL -- bad gf font file /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/gf char 0 offset 506 case 5 I created the gf fonts using "pktogf" under the mfware directory and the file is created but I'm not sure if its good or bad. If you have any suggestions for me it would be much appreciated (if you want a copy of the font file to examine, let me know) Thanks ....... Susan
