I've put debian on my "new" office machine--a 16mb P120, with about a
600 mb partition.
I can no longer get my fonts for letterhead and the like to work. Lyx
returns no errors, but the parkave stuff simply shows up as blank.
When I export as latex, and run latex, I get errors for assorted sizes
such as:
(/usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/base/ifthen.sty)kpathsea: Running mktextfm
parkave

I have PKFONTS set as :/home/hawk/fonts, and this contains
hawkinsttyp0:fonts>ls parkave*
parkave.1080pk parkave.600pk parkave.pfb parkave14.1800pk
parkave.1200pk parkave.660pk parkave.tfm parkave14.300pk

This was working two weeks ago on FreeBSD, and the configuration there
came from an older debian configuration.
Hitting return at the prompt simply gets another round of "Running
mktextfm parkave" but no progress.
I'm stuck.
Until that happened, I was one detail away from a reference letterhead
:(
I succeeded in making a header for the first page that overhangs both
margins, but the same things don't work in the footer. I'm starting to
believe that the header and footer should be done by including an eps
made with postscript fonts, but I really don't know how to do this.
For the moment: help!!! I need to get a couple of letters & resumes
out, and I can't :(
