Hi

I am trying to include an eps figure into my latex document.  However, when
I try to xdvi it, it barfs as follows:

gs: Error: /invalidfont in findfont
gs: Operand stack:
gs:    --nostringval--   Times-Roman   77874   --nostringval-- \
 Times-Roman   Nimbus
gs: RomanNo9L-Regular
gs: Execution stack:
gs:    %interp_exit   ()   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   \
 --nostringval--   fals
...
gs: Current allocation mode is local
gs: Last OS error: 2
Current file position is 4437

I created the figure using xfig and made sure to select latex fonts
and not postscript fonts, but still this happens.  Any idea as to what
is going on?  I have been fighting with this problem for the past 2
hours and it is past midnight now. So I would greatly appreciate any
help from the more experienced latex users.  Here is my document's
relevant portions, if it will help:

>\documentclass[11pt]{report}
>\usepackage{a4,doublespace,ipa,chicago}
>...
>\begin{figure}[ht]
>  \epsfbox{Figs/abcd.eps}
>  \caption{A PFSA coding of the events (ABCD)$^n$}
>  \label{fig:abcd_pfsa}
>\end{figure}

Many thanks.
