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" You have put the font files in \texfonts\*.fli. Your fx.cnf file says they are in \texfonts\pixel.fx. The moral is pretty clear - move the directory or edit the .cnf file. The format of .cnf files is explained in detail in dvidrv.doc - you do have to read this stuff! Sebastian PS before someone tells me, yes I am aware that the questioners .cnf file has moved on to search for individual pixel files, and my answer is a simplification. But the moral remains - its all in the manual -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
