I guess I still don't understanding (judging from the mktexpk commands I see from ly2dvi --verbose) why -P tells it to use a 600 dpi device ljfour, but -p tells it to use an 8000 dpi device:
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 8000 --mag 1+0/8000 --dpi 8000 cmbx10 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 8000; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 8000 dpi devices. mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. dvips: Font cmbx10 not found, characters will be left blank. kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 8000 --mag 1+0/8000 --dpi 8000 cmr10 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 8000; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 8000 dpi devices. mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me. dvips: Font cmr10 not found, characters will be left blank. Do I really have to generate an 8000 dpi set of fonts just to get PDF files from dvips -Ppdf? If so, could you kindly point me at the exact instructions for doing that?
