I am trying to convert a dvi file I received into postscript. I have downloaded dvips for MSDOS but when I try to convert the file it says the fonts are not available with names like cmbx12 etc. I downloaded another piece of software called sbmf which is supposed to be able to create these fonts. Did this and created files with .pk and .tfm extensions and put them in the directories I thought they should be in. Ran dvips again this time it found the .tfm files but not the .pk files and created some sort of parameter file to create same from I don't know what and said "run mfjob dvips" . what is mfjob? and what do the parameters in the file mean they do not seem to be the same as those for sbmf?? Can anyone help? I only want to print one file I don't want to become an expert on TeX! -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Richard Hockey email:medrh@uniwa.uwa.oz.au | | Department of Public Health phone:+61 9 389-3463 _--_|\ | | University of Western Australia fax: +61 9 389-3648 / \ |
