[fptex] Re: fptex Digest, Vol 28, Issue 1

Hi,

1. For Type 1 fonts, some configurations are needed. You should first
check whether the font files px*.pfb,px*.tfm;px*.vf are in the proper
positions and make sure that TeX can search these files. Try command
'kpsewhich file' to ensure this. Then you should also check that the
font mapping configurations for pxfonts are ok. The details are
somewhat complex, so please consult in manuals or documents in your
system or Google from the internet. When all is ok, windvi will call
'mktexpk' command to generate the pixel fonts needed when necessary.
So you can try this command to generate the missing fonts manually; if
it is ok, then congratulations! Otherwise there must be something
wrong in the configurations. You should type the commands in a DOS
prompt in general.

2. Windvi can make inverse search, however it can't do forward search.
To make inverse search work well, you should create a file
'emacsclient.bat' to invoke winedt properly. This file can contain the
following lines:

@echo off
shift
start %Editor% "[Open('%2');SelPar(%1,1)]"

Then you should put this file in a directory where it can be found
from the PATH environment. After you do this, you should be able to
invoke reverse search by "Shift+mouse right button". To make this
work, note that you must compile your tex files with command line
option "-src" or include the package "srcltx" in your tex files.

Good luck!
