Very likely dvipage can't find some typeface (true or substitute), add these
in set_char() (dvipage.c) should fix the core dump.  It simply print
nothing, but dvipage will tell you what fonts are missing anyway.  Make sure
you have the right fontpath set, and double check by running with `-v 1'
option set.
