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
