Package: dvipng
Version: 1.5-2
I installed dvipng on an almost bare-bones Debian system (no X, no TeX
of any kind). It is beyond the scope of this report to explain the
reason I did so. Anyway, all the dependencies were automatically
resolved by apt-get.
I created the following file (on another system) and LaTeX'ed it
there:
$ cat sample.tex
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
aa
\end{document}
Then I tried to run dvipng on the result:
$ dvipng sample
This is dvipng 1.5 Copyright 2002-2005 Jan-Åke Larsson

dvipng warning: font cmr12 at 400 dpi not found, characters will be

The missfont.log contains a single line:
mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 1+100/300 --dpi 400 cmr12
The generated PNG contains a single pixel (probably white).
I suggest that the depencencies of the package should be revised.
Apparently some fonts are needed for proper operation. I admit that
running this tool without TeX installed is rather unusual, but, as you
see, it happens... :-)
