Pursuant to a request for a bibliography that I maintain using latex
and bibtex, I uuencoded the .dvi result and emailed that.  My
correspondent reported that the uudecoded file could not be printed
at his site due to an error about a "missing font."  

Could this be because I had used 12 point font size?  If so, what size
should be regarded as universal?  If not, any other ideas?

It would certainly be easier to use the .dvi file for distribution
instead of the .tex file + the .bbl file + the .aux file + the
custom .sty file.
