Please help me before I pull my hair out!!!!!

I have installed emTeX and so far I have not been able to get it to run
properly.  

TeX, TeX286, dviscr, and dvidot all have problems finding the required
fonts.  I have installed fx_1200.fli, fx_1315.fli, fx_1440.fli,
fx_1728.fli, fx_2488.fli, fx_2074.fli, and fx_2986fli in a directory
called 'texfonts' off the root directory.  I have run set-tex.bat, so
the environment variables are set.  

If I run v.bat, which calls dviscr with a configuration file @fx.cnf, the 
program responds with the message:

"Warning 1205: font cmbx10 (c:/texfonts/pixel.fx/pxl$s/cmbx10<1200>) no found"

What's this pixel xxx subdirectory?  I donts have this subdir.  Do I need to 
run some utility to set up my font directories properly?

Also, is the fx_xxxx.fli font files all I need to have for:  printing on an
epson printer, and using dviscr?  How about dvips.exe, will it use these
font libraries also, or do I need different ones?


If someone could please e-mail me some answers, I would truly appreciate it.
Having such a powerful program and not being able to understand/use it is
becoming very frustrating.

Thanks again.
