	(If this is a common problem, the answer to which is detailed
in the FAQ, my apologies; but I did not see anything relevant in it.)

system: Sun-3
OS: SunOS 4.1.1
compiler: gcc 2.0

	I just installed TeX here.  To test it out, I decided to see
if it could generate the .dvi file for the Gcc manual.

	This is what happens:

$ tex gcc.texi
This is TeX, C Version 3.14t3
(gcc.texi (texinfo.tex Loading texinfo package [Version 2.63]:  Basics, fonts,
! Font \textbf=cmb10 scaled 1095 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
\mainmagstep ->1095 
                    
l.477 \font\textbf=cmb10 scaled \mainmagstep
                                            
? 

	I assumed that I might have done something incorrectly.  So I
go and look for /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts/cmbx10.tfm.  It's there, and
it's world-readable.  Odd.  So I wonder if TeX is somehow not looking
for the .tfm files in /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts.  So I check the
various config files used for building.

In site.h:
#define TEXFONTS        ".:/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts"

In makefile:
texlibdir=/usr/local/lib/tex
texfontdir=$(texlibdir)/fonts

	So TeX should be looking there.

	Just to make sure, I (as a normal user) set my TEXFONTS
environmental variable to /usr/local/lib/tex/fonts, and try it.  Still
no go.

	So... what's the problem?  Why can't TeX find the .tfm files?

	Thanks in advance for any help proferred, but please reply to
me instead of posting; I have to distribute my time between system
admin duties and schoolwork, and don't always find the time to read
news...

	Regards,

-J
