Hi there!
Anyone following the development of TeX and friends more
closely will have realized that SOME versions of dvips are NOT
able to deal with the -D option anymore correctly.
This option used to tell dvips which resolution should be used
for the fonts or to create new fonts via MakeTeXPK. So we
supply the small script
setup_dvips.sh
to create small config-files that are used by dvips. A rather
long email-thread with Thomas Esser (check out teTeX for his
real work!!) helped to take care of some exceptions, and this
is the "small" result.
To use dvips with apsfilter just run
./bin/setup_dvips.sh
as root for EACH Printer you intend to use, it'll create small
config-files for your printers that are read by dvips.
Another drawback with newer versions of dvips is the
impossibility to create fonts while being executed from lpr
due to some small bug in dvips. The only "workaround" is to
create missing fonts with xdvi or dvips from the commandline
before printing the document, all other functionality isn't
affected, meaning you still are able to print dvi-files with
ps-includes if your apsfilterrc is setup correctly.
Have fun,
Thomas & Andreas
Again Thanks to Thomas Esser who helped clarifying lots of
hidden details.
