I'm sorry, I have worked with dvidjp (Deskjet stuff), so I can't answer 
this one.

I had a similar problem. If you look carefully in one of the readme documents
(or one of the text-files, I believe) you can see that you have to set an
environment variable. Out of my head, I think it was TEXFONTS, or
something like that. Set it to your local tex-font directory where
dvijet looks for fonts (for instance, TEXFONTS=/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/pk/)
If you don't have such font-directories, get them first from colleagues,
ftp-sites, whatever.
