I just got and built TeX 2.95 and LaTeX 2.09.  They seem to run fine, but 
when I try to use dvips to send the output to a postscript file, I get the
following message:

DVILASER/PS Sun Version 2.8
Copyright (c) 1985 by Textset, Inc.  All rights reserved.
TeX output 1991.03.23:1701
DVILASER option> download all pro
DVILASER option> 
 Doing [0].
Font cmr10 at 10.95pt---no entry in DVIPS.FNT for this font. Use a font substitu
tion file to substitute an alternate font.

DVILASER execution aborted

I can't find a DVIPS.FNT file on my machine anywhere.  What is the format of
a font-substitution file and how do I make one?  Are there sources for dvips
out there somewhere that I could get and build?  I didn't see any on
labrea.stanford.edu.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Please send
email, and I'll summarize, if demand warrants.
