Package: tetex-base Version: 3.0-17 Severity: normal Hello,
I compiled a latex file with arrow symbols from the textcomp package. The font generation stuff for dvips failed and the log message stated that it could not write to /var/cache/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/tc/ and therefore I only had black boxes in the ps file. I then exectued the commands in missfont.log as root and I finally had the fonts (but this is really not the way one should do it). Btw, I upgraded from sarge (with tetex3 backports) to unstable, so this can be also an upgrade problem. Thanks for your good work Thomas Braun directory info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ls -dl /var/cache/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/tc/ drwxrwsr-t 2 root users 4096 2006-04-08 13:06 /var/cache/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/tc/ ################################## minimal input file \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} \textdownarrow \textrightarrow \textleftarrow \textuparrow \end{document} ################################## other files log file (from within kile) ***** ***** LaTeX output: ***** cd '/home/thomas/devel/svn/office-trunk/kile/kile/symbols' ***** latex -src -interaction=nonstopmode 'arrows.tex' ***** This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) Source specials enabled. entering extended mode (./arrows.tex LaTeX2e <2003/12/01> Babel <v3.8d> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, b ahasa, basque, bulgarian, catalan, croatian, czech, danish, dutch, esperanto, e stonian, finnish, greek, icelandic, irish, italian, latin, magyar, norsk, polis h, portuges, romanian, russian, serbian, slovak, slovene, spanish, swedish, tur kish, ukrainian, nohyphenation, loaded.
