|
|
|
<P>Q: Why is kdvi not displaying anything but a busy cursor?<BR> |
|
A: It is |
|
possible, that kdvi is searching for the pk-fonts from wrong places, |
|
and this can be very time consuming if these include network mounted |
|
filesystems. You can check for this with strace and see below for a |
|
cure. |
|
<P>Q: What can I do when kdvi does not find my PK-fonts?<BR> |
|
A: You must have correct settings for resolution and Metafont mode.<BR> |
|
If this does not help, you may set the field |
|
'PK Font Path' in Preferences/Fonts to point to the list of directories |
|
to be searched for pk-fonts:<BR> |
|
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/:/some/other/place<BR> |
|
You can make kdvi search recursively by adding an extra / at the end of |
|
directory name:<BR> |
|
/var/lib/texmf/fonts//<BR> |
|
(This works like xdvi's XDVIFONTS environment variable. |
|
There is also good (gnu info) documentation available for the kpathsea library |
|
that kdvi uses for font searching.)<BR> |
|
This makes kdvi usable when you have some other tex system than tetex and don't |
|
have the texmf.cnf file. |
|
<P>Q: How do I get the font generation to work?<BR> |
|
A: If you like to enable automatic font generation using MakeTeXPK, |
|
you must also supply correct Metafont mode in preferences dialog. |
|
When automatic pk-font generation is disabled (menu option) |
|
the missing fonts will be logged to file missfont.log in the current directory. |
|
It is a good idea to check that the font generation commands in |
|
missfont.log are correct before enabling font generation. |
