Mooo!


	I'm still working with Gunther Scahdow's TeX port , and am
	trying to get xdvi to wokr.  I was told yesterday that I need to 
	have the pk fonts built.

	Thus, in the directory /usr/local/lib/TeX/fonts/tfm, I ran:

	foreach file (*.tfm)
	set eeek=`echo $file | awf -F\. '{print $1}'`
	mftopk $eeek
	end

	This filled up /usr/local/lib/TeX/fonts/pk with a whole pile
	of fonts, including cmr1[720].300pk

	I tehn went and did

	setenv XDVIFONTS /usr/local/lib/TeX/fonts/pk

	However, xdvi still prints out that it can't find any
	font.   Am I still negelcting to do something here?

	Thansk.

				Praying for a simple font system some day 
				Marc 'em.
