Re: Runtime errors on OpenBSD

[Mats Bengtsson]

The problem seems to be that you have not managed to install
ec-fonts-mftraced correctly. If you build them from the source
package, the resulting files will be installed in subdirectories
of /usr/share/texmf/, i.e. the intention is that they are added in
the standard teTeX installation directory. If you have installed
teTeX somewhere else, you have to modify the makefile correspondingly.
Also, don't forget to run 'texhash' (or equivalently 'mktexlsr') after
you have installed the font files.

If ec-fonts-mftraced is installed correctly, the command
kpsewhich ecb12.pfa
should return the full path to the file ecb12.pfa

You didn't say what version of teTeX you have installed. As far as I can
see, the ec-fonts-mftraced installation is not compatible with the
directory structure changes in teTeX 3.0, so if you have teTeX 3.0, you
have to do the following steps:
cd /usr/share/texmf/  (or wherever your teTeX installation is)
mkdir fonts/map/
cd fonts/map
ln -s ../../dvips/ec-fonts-mftraced
texhash
