Running Red Hat Linux 9, with Rawhide teTeX 2.0.2 packages:
$ rpm -qa | grep tetex | sort
tetex-2.0.2-9
tetex-afm-2.0.2-9
tetex-doc-2.0.2-9
tetex-dvips-2.0.2-9
tetex-fonts-2.0.2-9
tetex-latex-2.0.2-9
tetex-xdvi-2.0.2-9
I have a Hewlett Packard OfficeJet K80, which according to the specs has
a print resolution of 600x600dpi (black) and 2400x1200dpi (colour). At
the moment using texconfig I have tried setting
MODE default mode (xdvi/dvips/pdftex/mf)
to:
ljfive HP LaserJet 5 (600dpi)
because that seems to be the closest match - but is there a better
option I should be using? (I have tried googling for the answer.)
Regardless of whether this is the best option, attempting to set this
using texconfig seems to be generating some kind of error. This is what
is writtent to the log:
TeX-Config. Start on Thu Dec 4 01:23:53 GMT 2003
expr: syntax error
/usr/bin/texconfig: line 890: test: -lt: unary operator expected
expr: non-numeric argument
expr: non-numeric argument
expr: non-numeric argument
Running mf to create plain base ...
fmtutil: no info for format `mf'.
fmtutil: no info for format `mfw'.
Done.
In fact, this seems to be what happens whatever setting I select for
default mode in texconfig. This results in xdvi not working - for
example:
$ texdoc -v ltnews14
xdvi /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/base/ltnews14.dvi &

Could someone give me a clue how to solve this problem?
TIA, Darren
