  Hello,  

   My question has to do with the dvi utilities.  when i run xdvi or dvipr the 
process of making fonts never succeeds because the fonts used are never found. 

   I haven't been able to find where the fonts should be: neither the TeXbook
nor the MetafontBook describe file locations (atleast not that i saw).

  If someone could point me to a "necessary file, and their placement" list i
would be greatful.

ps: Where is the FAQ for TeX under FreeBSD?
