dvipsone: "Helvetica not found"

[Frank Ganz]

Hi Jochen,

add the following flags to the command line:

-*i -v -j

Either amend dviwindo.ini or dvipsone.cmd

My assumption is that the error points towards Helvetica in an EPS file. If it were in the text the error report would be inside the **** section. -v means verbose, so you would get confirmation of this assumption. One of the other flags suppress font calls inside EPS files and ask for the resident font. When you distill to PDF you will get those from your system. In other words, you would defer font handling until you create the PDF.

Thanks,
Frank
