From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 Description of problem: When using dvips on certain dvi files it fails with the following error: $ dvips -o doc.ps doc.dvi This is dvips(k) 5.92b Copyright 2002 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2004.06.18:1623' -> doc.ps dvips: ! Couldn't find header file tx8r.enc $ The error ocurrs because of an incorrect mapping in font map file, there are 4 files in total that have this "bug", 2 belong to tetex and the other 2 to tetex-dvips: /usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/context/original-youngryu-tx.map /usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/context/original-youngryu-px.map /usr/share/texmf/pdvips/config/pdftex.map /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/pdftex.map The error is that it mentions a non existent file "tx8r.enc", replacing every ocurrance with "8r.enc" fixes the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tetex-dvips-2.0.2-13 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install tetex tetex-dvi 2.Create a dvi file, this is the part I can't reproduce, some do it, some don't, I can't create a small file, and can't send the ones I have... 3. run dvips on that file, see it fail Actual Results: dvips fails Expected Results: dvips should create a ps file from the dvi file Additional info: Although the problem appears in 4 files, I only had to change it in one of them to make the problem dissappear (apparently) from dvips, that file is: /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/pdftex.map owned by the tetex-dvips rpm. I'll post the patch for that file for clarity.
Created attachment 101249 [details] patch to pdftex.map file that fixes the issue
Broken since the fix for #60164 was applied I guess. I've fixed the spec file to use '8r' instead of 'tx8r' in the replacements for those lines. Thanks.
It looks like Tim fixed this already for tetex-2.0.2 and it looks like it's no more problem with tetex-3.0. However tetex-3.0 contains many changes so if a similar bug occurs there please file another bugreport. thanks, Jindrich
