Package: texlive-fonts-extra Version: 2007-1 Severity: normal Hi TeXLive folks, there is a problem with archaic fonts, or with how dvips handles them or is set up.

Here is how to reproduce: - copy fonts/archaic/asamples.tex into a local dir (in Debian, it's in /usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-extra/ and gzip'ped) $ latex asamples.tex $ latex asamples.tex $ dvips asamples.dvi This is dvips(k) p1.7a Copyright 2005 ASCII Corp.([EMAIL PROTECTED]) based on dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2007.04.03:1513' -> asamples.ps <tex.pro><texps.pro>. <pmhg.pfb><oandsu10.pfb><sarab10.pfb><nab10.pfb> <aram10.pfb><copsn10.pfb><cugar10.pfb><cypr10.pfb><linb10.pfb><lcirclew.pfb> <fut10.pfb><etr10.pfb><givbc10.pfb><gvibc10.pfb><phnc10.pfb><cmti10.pfb> <proto10.pfb><cmcsc10.pfb><cmtt10.pfb><cmr10.pfb><cmtt8.pfb><cmsy6.pfb> <cmbx10.pfb><cmbx12.pfb><cmsy8.pfb><cmr12.pfb><cmr17.pfb>[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Note that this only includes Type1 fonts. $ gs asamples.ps GPL Ghostscript 8.54 (2006-05-17) Copyright (C) 2006 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA.

Hm, I took this as a hint for an error in dvips or its map files, but maybe it's an error in xdvi configuration instead, because it also creates cmtt10 bitmaps where dvips uses cmtt10.pfb, and so on. Any ideas what the cause could be? Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ. Zürich Debian Developer (teTeX/TeXLive)
