[comp.text.tex] emtex cmbx10<2986> problem

ERSHC@CUNYVM (10/05/90)

When I compile a LaTeX article, and then go to veiw or print,
I get a warning that emTeX can't find cmbx10<2986>.
I have fx_2986.fli, and it is referenced in the driver.
When I try to search the file for cmbx10, the string is not found.
Is it not there, or is the problem related to the file being
larger than my available memory? (640K)

Any solutions/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Sorry, a small correction: (if only I could unpost the previous):

Using a better search routine, I find that cmbx10 is indeed in the
file fx_2986.fli. Now I'm even more confused as to why I get the
``can't find c::......:cmbx10<2986>'' message.

More info on this problem (other than it's making me crazy):
I can't access any of the font styles in fx_2986.fli.
I could understand this if the machine had to load the whole
file (816K) into memory (640K), but this is clearly not the
case as I can use fx_2488.fli, which is 709K.

Any ideas? Anything welome!!

Well I don't know the intrinsics on this problem, but what I do know
is that only those fonts are loaded that are required. And then it 
is possible to only really load them once the're needed.

My guess as to the problem is that either the font is not in the library.
This you can check with fontlib, also in the EmTeX-distribution.

Or it your fx.cnf file (or what you use a parameter file) does not 
contain the correct settings to find the fx_2986. This would be a 
typo in the file name, since the driver CAN find the path and fx_2488.fli
file.

Otherwise you should contact Ebenhart Mattes, but then you have to be
convinced that it's a bug and not you doing.
