Ah, now we're getting somewhere. So the problem is that all the fonts are correctly installed, and so is the map file that brings all these individual Type1 subfonts together. The problem is that somehow the global configuration file for Type1 fonts is not properly configured. This involves the commands update-updmap and updmap-sys (also updmap, but that is only for TeX settings in your own TeX home directory). The Debian TeX managers have created a quite ingenious system to make life easier for TeX package maintainers: a tool that registers Type1 fonts centrally and automatically updates the configuration files for a bunch of applications, such as dvips. /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.wadalab should have the following single line: p +wadalab.map I'm about 99,9% sure that this is the case, otherwise dvips -P wouldn't work lest there was a miracle. /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab.cfg should have the following lines: # 10latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab.cfg # You can change/add entries to this file and changes will be preserved # over upgrades, even if you have removed the main package prior # (not if you purged it). You should leave the following pseudo comment # present in the file! # -_- DebPkgProvidedMaps -_- # Map wadalab.map /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg should contain the following section: ### From file: /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab.cfg # 10latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab.cfg # You can change/add entries to this file and changes will be preserved # over upgrades, even if you have removed the main package prior # (not if you purged it). You should leave the following pseudo comment # present in the file! # -_- DebPkgProvidedMaps -_- # Map wadalab.map ### End of file: /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab.cfg I suspect that update-updmap doesn't include the content of 10latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab.cfg in updmap.cfg. Please tell me if I'm wrong here. If updmap.cfg does contain these lines, then something has gone wrong with updmap-sys. Please run updmap-sys again as root, and see for *any* output relating to "wadalab". Also, none of the output of updmap-sys may refer to files in your own /root/.texmf(-var)/ directory or to /usr/local/share/. They should all point to configuration files inside /usr/share/texmf(-tetex)/. Also rename /home/frederik/.texmf-var/ to /home/frederik/.texmf-var2 . If there are any leftovers from previous attempts to build PK fonts, then dvips will prefer these dysfunctional fonts rather than use the Type1 fonts. The ratio behind this is to ascertain that we're dealing solely with files from the Debian package, and not local files. > > You are also using an older version of tetex-base and tetex-bin. > > If you could try to install tetex-bin (>=3.0.22)?
