Though my question is not completely on topic, I think it is nonetheless
of interest to tex-types :-)

My problem is this:
	I want to preview a document before printing it but I can't use
	dvix because I have included some postscript files into the doc.

	I have tried using xps and ghostscript but neither of them work.
	What I did was to direct the output from dvi2ps into a file. I then
	specify this file as the input to one of the above postscript
	previewers.

	However, when I do, I get the same error message regardless of which
	previewer I use. The error message (from ghostscript) is:

		>PostScript Driver, Version 3.13 of January 19, 1988
		dvi file name: x.dvi
		Pass0: Page 1
		Error: /invalidfont in --setfont--
		  ostack: --nostringval-- --nostringval-- estack:  operator
		    4fd0 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false
		    --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false --nostringval--
		    --nostringval--
		      dstack: 319/401 55/200
      
	
	Anyone got any ideas what dvi2ps is doing? I get the same error
	message if my source file contains only text.

	Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond by e-mail
	and I'll summarize.

	regards,
