Please attach an example file. Thanks. OK - I'll attach a short sample LaTeX source and the generated DVI file. According to the psnfss docs, it should display as 4 different pairs of scissors. Having run latex on it on my machine, xdvi displays it as the following four characters: ! " # $ Thanks. Created attachment 61844 [details]
Short LaTeX file using ZapfDingbats characters
Created attachment 61845 [details]
DVI generated from dingsample.ltx
The DVI file is fine---dvips converts it to a PS file containing scissors. Some xdvi problem. Not on this machine, I'm afraid. dvips converts it to a PS file containing exactly the same four Courier characters (! " # $). _That_ I can't reproduce. Even your attached DVI converts to working PS for me. OK, problem solved - nothing to do with tetex specifically. ZapfDingbats is missing from the urw-fonts package (there's an entry for d050000l.pfb in /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/fonts.dir, but the corresponding d050000l.* files don't exist). That's why ghostscript was substituting Courier instead. Copying those files from the urw-fonts distributed with RH 7.2 solves that problem. For some reason I don't quite understand it also seems to have solved the xdvi problem (after clearing out /var/lib/texmf and re-running xdvi). I'll file a bug against urw-fonts. Thanks. Okay. |
