(La)TeX includes -the checksum from the TFM file in the DVI file. -<p/>When <i>dvips</i> (or other DVI drivers) process a -DVI file, they compare checksums in the DVI file to -those in the bitmap fonts being used for character images. If the -checksums don’t match, it means the font metric file used by (La)TeX -was not generated from the same Metafont program that generated the -font. -<p/>This commonly occurs when you’re processing someone else’s DVI -file. -<p/>The fonts on your system may also be at fault: possibilities are that -the new TFM was not installed, or installed in a path after an -old TFM file, or that you have a personal cache of bitmaps from -an old version of the font. -<p/>In any case, look at the output – the chances are that it’s perfectly -OK, since metrics tend not to change, even when the bitmaps are -improved. (Indeed, many font designers — Knuth included — -maintain the metrics come what may.) -<p/>If the output <em>does</em> look bad, your only chance is to regenerate -things from scratch. Options include: flushing your bitmap cache, -rebuild the TFM file locally, and so on. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=checksum">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=checksum</a> -</body> |
