|Once again, I have an Amiga 2000 with a 40MB GVP HD, 1MB Chip, 2MB
|Fast.  This is my fontlib directory, where the files PK%04d are my
|newly-created fontlibraries using the program flib supplied with
|PasTeX.
|
|Directory of Projects:TeX/fontlib
|PK0091 pk0100 PK0109 PK0110 PK0120 PK0131 PK0300 PK0329 PK0360 PK0432 PK0518
|
|This is a sample FLIB T PK0091 output, which someone requested in response
|to the original post:
|
|cmbx10.91pk cmbx5.91pk cmbx7.91pk cmcsc10.91pk cmex10.91pk cmmi10.91pk 
|cmmi5.91pk cmmi7.91pk cmr10.91pk cmr5.91pk cmr7.91pk cmsl10.91pk cmss10.91pk
|cmssbx10.91pk cmssi10.91pk cmsy10.91pk cmsy5.91pk cmsy7.91pk cmti10.91pk
|cmtt10.91pk

That's not correct !!!
In the flib's should be only the font names.
I.e. cmbx10 cmbx5 cmbx7 cmcsc10 ...
So you must rename the pk-files bevore you put them into the flib archives.

|The fontlibs are fine according to FLIB; I tested them, extracted
|them, no problems. Someone (lost the posting, sorry) had also told me
|to try changing the .cnf files.  I mistakenly thought he was talking
|about the .tfm files which I thought were the original problem.  I
|already tried altering the .cnf files to point to TeX:fontlib (where
|TeX: is assigned to Projects:TeX as above). Here is
|TeX:config/showdvi.fnt:
|
|flibenv		TeX:fontlib
|pkenv		TeX:pk
|flib_str	PK%4d
                  ^^^ %04d !!
|pk_str		%d/%s.%dpk

These four lines are all the default entries. So you can delete they.

|so flib_str is assigned correctly according to the docs (i.e. PK0518 for
|518 pk fonts).  It seems that showdvi can find the regular pk fonts:
|
|Directory of Projects:TeX/pk/83:
|   cmbx10.83pk
|   cmr10.83pk
|   cmtt10.83pk

That's right.

|Directory of Projects:TeX/pk/100:
|   a lot of pk files ;)

Is the name of the pk-files i.e.:
	cmr10.100pk  ?

If you set the resolution of ShowDVI to 100dpi, the fonts in TeX:pk/100
should be found.

If you unpack the PasTeX1.2a archives, and set the TeX: assign correct,
there should be enough fonts, to preview the docs.

    Hope that help's,
	Georg.
