I have now spent many, many hours trying to compile TeX, LaTeX, and =
dvipdfm on my FreeBSD 4.0 box.  Absolutely everything works -- except =
for the fonts.  Even xdvi (which is installed from a package) chokes.  =
It can't find any of the fonts and then dies.  TeX compiled just fine.  =
The LaTeX compile dies on the fonts.  And dvipdfm compiles just fine but =
cannot find any of the files.

Here's a brief excerpt from "make install" in "/usr/ports/print/latex":

----------------------------- EXCERPT -----------------------------
kpathsea: Running mktexmf  cmex10
! I can't find file `cmex10'.

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/print/latex.
*** Error code 1
-------------------------END EXCERPT -----------------------------

And the complete program output from dvipdfm (this is the only one of =
the program that I absolutely MUST get working):

-------------- OUTPUT ---------------------
bash-2.03# dvipdfm /usr/home/root/bpa.dvi

/usr/home/root/bpa.dvi -> bpa.pdf
[1
cmr17:
tfm_open:  Unable to find TFM file

Output file removed.
bash-2.03#
----------------- END OUTPUT -------------

Sorry about the length of the post...  Anyhow, what I'm wondering, is =
where the heck do I stick the *.mf or *.tfm files to get mktexmf and =
dvipdfm to pick them up?

Please help.
