The following works with standard teTeX-1.0. I don't know if this is
different in RedHat's version...

  cd `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`/dvips/config
  vi updmap # or use a different editor
# change type1_default=false -> type1_default=true
  ./updmap

That's it. updmap is described in TETEXDOC, just
  texdoc TETEXDOC

How can I instruct dvips to use outline fonts instead of the CMones?

[Giuseppe Greco]

Hi folks,

I've teTeX[LaTeX] version 1.0.7-57.1 installed
on my Linux box (Red Hat 8.0).

I need to generate PS as well as PDF output
from my TeX sources... and to accomplish that
I use latex and dvips...

The problems is that the PDF output is
horrible because dvips does not use outline
fonts (e.g. bluesky) by default.

Could anybody tell me how to instruct dvips
to use bluesky fonts instead of the standard
Computer Modern fonts?

For instance, I would like to use latex and dvips
to get the same result as I would had used pdflatex.

Thanks,
