I assume I'm writing to Jim Hefferon, I followed the instructions in 'Mamaging a One-person Tex System'. At first it didn't work. I checked. Checked permissions and mode. Brushscr.div came out in cmr. At first I thought it might be the line cp /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps \ /usr/share/texmf.local/dvips/config/config.ps which I assume should be cp /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps \ /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps That didn't fix it. Them by chance while stumbling around in some other packages I came accross the line update --enable Map the_package_youre_interested_in.map which I used and it all came good. Apparently this has been made necessary in recent versions of Tex/latex. What came between my first attempt and my "Successful Test" were a) three weeks b) good luck. Otherwise, thanks for the guidance, for which I am very thankful.
