Package: dvi2ps
Version: 4.1j-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Whenever I run 'dvi2ps foo' I get the following error message (and
nothing else):

dvi2ps: FATAL-- cannot open fontdesc file "bikan-mor2"

This used to work.  It happens even for a trivial foo.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
hello, world
\end{document}

I then produce foo.dvi with either 'latex foo' (from texlive-latex-base)
or 'jlatex foo' (from jtex-bin).  Either way, dvi2ps fails, complaining
about bikan-mor2.

dvi2ps worked for me for many years, but I hadn't tried it in the last
few years, so some upgrade in the last few years must have broken it.
