I'm trying to decide on a logical scheme to place font files
needed by TeX, TeXPS (dvitps), and xdvi. Each of these releases
seems to assume a slightly twisted directory structure.
If you have a logical scheme for the installation of all the
font files needed at your site, please tell me what you have
done. I'm very much a novice at the TeX game, so I would
appreciate some detail as to what modifications are necessary
in the site-specific files for each distribution (TeX, TeXPS,
and xdvi). Also, how do you know what .pk files will be needed?
Should I install everything that comes with cmfonts, utilityfonts,
amsfonts, and LaTeXfonts?
What is the best way to ensure that xdvi gets the write-white
fonts, but divtps gets the write-black fonts? The files have
the same names (e.g. cmr10.300pk). I don't even understand
who uses all the .pfd, .gf, .tfm, .pk, .vf, .afm, and .yds files.
Is there a master plan?
BTW: I have things mostly working at my site. But there are
some differences between the xdvi display and the actual hardcopy.
There must be a better scheme. What do I need to do?
thanx,
randall.
