"MakeTeXPK" is not working properly. It seems that it cannot make some new fonts needed by "xdvi". (by the way, directory: "/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm" must be created and its permission must be changed to "1777") Fix: I do not know, what I did was copy "MakeTeXPK" from another machine with FreeBSD 2.2.6. It worked fine. If you look at the creation date and length of "MakeTeXPK", it was created one day after the other ones. It is also shorter that the one in version 2.2.6 In FreeBSD 2.2.7: Isabeau:/usr/local/bin> ls -l MakeTeX* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2529 Jun 28 11:13 MakeTeXMF -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3499 Jun 29 07:16 MakeTeXPK <- date & size! -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3229 Jun 28 11:13 MakeTeXTFM -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 494 Jun 28 11:13 MakeTeXmkdir -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3333 Jun 28 11:13 MakeTeXnames In FreeBSD 2.2.6: Isabeau:/mnt/usr/local/bin# ls -l MakeTeX* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2529 Mar 22 07:33 MakeTeXMF -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5758 Mar 22 07:33 MakeTeXPK -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3229 Mar 22 07:33 MakeTeXTFM -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 494 Mar 22 07:33 MakeTeXmkdir -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3333 Mar 22 07:33 MakeTeXnames How-To-Repeat: Install teTeX.

I used a package: "teTeX" wich comes with version 2.2.7 As I already told you, this package contains a corrupted version of "MakeTeXPK". According to date and size, it was compiled AFTER the other programs in the package and it has a shorter length that the one in version 2.2.6 Anyway, MakeTeXPK does not work, and I substituted it with the one in version 2.2.6. ______ _ * / /###\ / \ __ /\ /\ * / ./#### \ * \__|_/ | | / \/ \ | b#####| * _ | __ | | __ = .. \____ \ \_\#####/ / \| / \ | | /\_\/ = \_| * \___\###/ * \_/\_/\__/\__\/_/\__/ = \______/ _ | |

Brett, I thank you.

Hi, > "MakeTeXPK" is not working properly. It seems that it cannot make > some new fonts needed by "xdvi". Did you install this from the package or through ports. I found that the package failed in the way you described, but when I built it myself w/ the port that it then worked correctly. > (by the way, directory: > "/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm" must be created > and its permission must be changed to "1777") You can change the permissions on the font diretories by running texconfig.

State Changed From-To: open->closed The package is being rebuilt now.
