Very similar to my own configuration.  I followed the installation
procedure as documented and had no problem.  On fonts:  do you have
them in the resolution required by the printer?  If you have added
new font directories, have you told it about them?  (I'm still a novice
myself--not as much as I was two months ago, but still a novice.  I
may have that wrong, but I think you have to tell it about new
directories.)   Hmmm.  Actually, it looks like you may be missing
something if you are trying to use it the way the authors have it
set up:  under tex:fonts, you need subdirectories for each
resolution.  And you need a huge pile of fonts by the time you
count all the resolutions for printer (draft and final) and previewer,
for use with various magsteps and point sizes...  The fonts with the
distribution just get you started and longing for more.
