This may not be the place to send such a report, but since the program is
now there, this message can always be forwarded, if appropriate.

For some reason, dvips will not load PostScript fonts for me.  The strange-
ness is that it DID do this no more than a week ago.  (I have proof.)
The response I get to this line in my LaTeX file:

\newfont{\hel}{h-med scaled 1400}    %% This goes thru LaTeX w/o error

is this, after dvips is started:

dvips: Font h-med.420pk not found, characters will be left blank.

I find this to be new behavior.../usr/athena/lib/tex/fonts is in every
one of my TEX* environment variables.  What would be causing this?
