Re: [MiKTeX] dvipdfm crashes (Kelli Hendrickson)

[Jeff E. L. <jl...@ui...>]

I had similar problems when I shifted from 2.4 to 2.5 in October 2006.

I got error messages from both YaP and dvipdfm -- as well as strange 
printing behavior.

MiKTeX 2.5+ uses "mgs" (MiKTeX Ghostscript) rather than a locally installed 
Ghostscript and the included fontmap files (in at least early versions) 
included a fontmap.miktex which referred to locations for various fonts 
which were not included in the initial installation of 2.5+.

Most of my problems were resolved by using the package manager to install 
times, helvetica, ... and any other font available. In particular, the 
directory structure for the urw fonts was changed and most applications 
which produce  your postscript will need helvetica, etc

Best regards,
