I'm using xdvi-15 with a DEFAULT_FONT_PATH that points to both the pk-directory
and the destination directory of Metafont.
However, when I try to preview a *dvi file that is produced with times.sty,
my xdvi tries to instruct Metafont to make fonts like rptmr.240gf by calling
"MakeTeXPK rptmr 240 300 0+240/300". This fails as Metafont complains that it
can't find find file `rptmr' and xdvi decides:
"Can't find font rptmr; using cmr10 instead at 240 dpi"

This is just an example. There are more error messages like this. 
So what is wrong ???
