[MiKTeX] Unable to find a TFM or OFM file

[Yi M. <ma...@au...>]

Hello,

I want to convert some .dvi files to .pdf file, so I installed MikTex on 
Windows 2000.

When I tried to use dvipdfm to do the conversion, I got the error message 
shown below:

D:\paper>dvipdfm foo.dvi

foo.dvi -> foo.pdf
[1
dcr17:
Unable to find a TFM or OFM file

Output file removed.

During the installation, I used all the defaults paths. I saw there was a 
TFM folder at C:\texmf\fonts\tfm. I wonder if the program is looking for 
this folder and why it does not find this folder. Could you please help? 
Your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.

Regards,

Yi Mao
