mktexpk can't find my fonts anymore!

[Jody Klymak]

OK, changed TEXMF as suggested.  

First run through windvi gives:

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag magstep\(0.5\) --dpi 657
cmsy10

This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2c 7.2)



(c:/TeX/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmsy10.mf

(c:/TeX/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/cmbase.mf)

(c:/TeX/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/mathsy.mf

(c:/TeX/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm/calu.mf [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] [70]

Font metrics written on cmsy10.tfm.

Output written on cmsy10.657gf (128 characters, 28360 bytes).

Transcript written on cmsy10.log.

mktexpk: Running mf "\mode:=ljfour; mag:=magstep\(0.5\); nonstopmode; input
cmsy10"

mktexpk: c:/TeX/texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/cm/cmsy10.657pk: successfully
generated.

*** for rest of fonts ***

Second run *does* run much faster as you suggested, but still gives:

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag magstep\(0.5\) --dpi 657
cmsy10

mktexpk: c:/TeX/texmf/fonts//pk/ljfour/public/cm///cmsy10.657pk already exists.

**********

So the fonts do not seem to go where they are expected to.  Reading the kpathsea
manual, it sounds like it does a search down TEXMF and then VARTEXFONTS.  It
will write in TEXMF if it can.  On my system I am running as administrator, so
it'd be tough to not allow myself write priveledge in the TEXMF tree.  

To answer Eli's question, kpsewhich cmsy10.657pk returns an empty string.  

I wouldn't keep fussing about this if I wasn't pretty sure my distribution is
unaltered, so there will be other folks with teh same problems.  Let me knwo if
there are any other diagnostics that will help.

Thanks,  Jody
