Hi, 

Thank you for your suggestions.

I am getting an error message while doing this. It
seems I do not have a config file for cms. I searched
for a config.cms file but is missing in my computer.
Is the problem coming because of this? If so, is there
any solution for this?

This is perfectly fine. I am getting the same output.



And regarding Rai's suggestion of using pdflatex,
I have fairly good number of .eps files in my document
and I have read that pdflatex does not work when one
is having .eps files included in Tex. I tried
converting  my .eps files to .pdf by epstopdf, but
this also gave the same error of having type 3 fonts,
and consequently some missing text when viewed with
xpdf.
 
Note:

I found a config.cm file and I tried  the option dvips
-Pcm on foo.dvi and converted to foo.ps. This on
further conversion to foo.pdf gave a reasonable
document in xpdf. But, whenever I am including figures
from other softwares it is showing the error message
as mentioned above and thus missing some texts.

With best regards,

Dileep
