If you read dvips.doc, you'll find that there is a way to specify the font file name. For example, my config.ps has the following line: P c:\texfonts\%d\%f.%p The %p is replaced by pk; %d refers to the dpi; and %f is replaced by the font name. If this doesn't work you should try dvips -d -1 to get all debugging info. This will tell you exactly what's going on. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- B.
