[Plptools-developers] Re: PSION connectivity

Hi,

I haven't been using plptools for a while and tried compiling it on RH 7.2
but came up against the same problems described in bug #488105.  I don't
use KDE and don't really want to install a ton of RPMs just so I can use
the RPM distribution of plptools :(


On another topic though, I can help you with the problem of the ugly fonts
in the PDF document:
http://www.wissenswerkzeug.de/EPOCLinuxPIM/PreliminaryDraft.pdf

Add the option "-Ppdf" when running dvips on the document.  This will use
Type 1 (scalable) fonts which will look nice on-screen as well as when
printed.  Alternatively try pdflatex which produces pdf directly from LaTeX
source.

If neither of these work then you may not have the Type 1 fonts installed
for Computer Modern.  Check you TeX's homepage for how to install them on
your TeX system (or just download up-to-date RPMs if you're using Linux I
guess).
