Can you send me a copy of them. I don't need the whole Handbook, so do something like: cd ......../handbook make -i CHAPTERS=3Dinstall FORMATS=3Dps\ pdf which will generate book.{ps,pdf} with just the install chapter. Also, can you tar up a few of the .eps files from the install/ directory, and send them to me. I want to compare them with what my system generates. > Any other info ye need, just ask ;-) I've looked at the stuff you sent in private mail. > but our TeTeX install is custom, so that may make a difference How did you customise it? I'm a TeX neophyte, so use small words (or better yet, step by step instructions) :-) I've looked through the package version output, and the things that jumped out at me were: . You're using the AFPL Ghostscript, Bruce and I are using the GNU one. I've removed the GNU one from my system and replaced it with with the AFPL one, but that doesn't have any effect. . You don't have the netpbm libs registered in the package database. These are a dependency of (amongst other things) peps. I have the netpbm-9.25_1 installed from the ports tree. What version do you have? Since peps is used to generate the images that are=20 causing the problems I suspect that we have an issue there. . You don't have jadetex registered in the package database. I assume this is part of the TeTeX customisation, yes?
