Subject: [gentoo-dev] xdvi and dvips not working as normal user...
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 15:22:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011129142552.52D2457C56@server1.mdy.univie.ac.at> (raw)

Hi all

I recently noticed that xdvi and dvips are not working correctly
when invoking them as normal user...
They look for fonts (and try to create them) in /var/cache/fonts
(which does not exist of course...) while the fonts are in 
/usr/share/texmf/fonts. When invoked by root everything
works as usual (lots of output from kpathsea and metafont).
When this is done once users also can view/dvips a document.
But I suspect that the problem will arise again as soon as 
kpathsea and metafont need to create something new...

regards
Tibor Rudas
