if your xdvi is mentioned as "xdvik" anywhere, then its the kpathsea version. check xdvi -version. but since you don't have the font glyphs themselves (only font metric files), it isn't a simple matter of looking harder. > > pncr is "NewCenturySchlbk-Roman", one of the standard postscript > > fonts. so if you were planning on dvips'ing, then TeX probably doesn't > > need to actually have the font - ghostscript will use its own copy. it > > After dvips the ps file shows the font fine, yes gs uses it own.

(i've been wanting to look into defoma + tetex integration for a few weeks now - to make it trivial to add new TeX fonts. just have to wait until i can stop writing talks..) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
