DVIprint (and ShowDVI) uses pk-fonts. The tfm-files are only a
font description for ini/virtex. The drivers uses the fonts in the
TeX:pk directory (or TeX:fontlib).

Within the PasTeX1.2a distribution there are only *some* previewer fonts
and no printer fonts. You will need to copy the pk fonts from
someone. Or you can install metafont on your Amiga and copy the
CallMF_0.82.lzh file from the ftp-server ftp.uni-passau.de /pub/amiga/tex.
There are ARexx scripts, which generate all missing fonts for you.

ShowDVI don't work? Please sent me the showdvi.log file.
