When changing the default font in a tex file to things such as pslatex, times or self created true type fonts package, the file is displayable in xdvi but won't display in advi due to font problems. It seems that advi is passing the wrong font name to mktexpk for pslatex, the output from xdvi shows kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 dsrom10 and for advi the output shows (with errors that it can't build the font) kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ptmb8t kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ptmr8t With times package: kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 dsrom10 and advi: mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ptmb8t. Warning: ptmb8t.pk is not found kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ptmb8t mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ptmr8t.

Well, to my knowledge, advi is not able to handle true type fonts, so ... See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=138157 for details. If this is indeed the same problem, i will merge the two bug reports. Friendly, Sven Luther
