Hi there,
I was just installing again Latex, after some accidental purging
of my old Latex setup. Among the things that I installed are:
latex 2e-7
kpathsea 2.6-2 Path searching "tool".
mfbasfnt 1.0-4 Tex default fonts.
mfbin 2.71-4 Metafont.
What happens now is that when I try to Latex the following,
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{t1enc}
\usepackage{amstex}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\author{Kári Davíðsson.}
\date{\today}
\title{Unknown yet.}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\input{introd.tex}
\end{document}
I get the following error from MetaFont, which I did not get before:
.

>(/usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/base/t1enc.stykpathsea: Running MakeTeXTFM
>>dcr1200.tfm

>This is METAFONT, Version 2.71 (C version 6.1)

>Metafont failed for some reason on dcr1200.tfm
>kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
When doing a soft link (ln -s) from dcr1200.tfm to dcr12.tfm in
/usr/lib/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/dc, I get the same error later in the
"latex startup/premable" for font dcr2074.tfm and after the \maketitle
command for font dcr1440.tfm. I am completly clueless about what is
happening, as I said it worked before this unfortunate reinstall.
Neadless to say, these font files dcr1200.tfm, dcr2074.tfm and
dcr1440.tfm do not seem to excist any where on the system.
I even zapped the nev installation compleatly and installed it once
more with no luck. I was going to use the ln -s trick for all the fonts
but, I am not shure which font files are the correct one to link to
dcr2074.tfm and dcr1440.tfm, besides I don't belive that to be the
correct solution.
Thanks in advance
K.D.
