Hi,

I was trying to display a very simple dvi file in Okular and I get this nasty error message:

"Okular was not able to locate all the font files which are necessary to display the current DVI file. Your document might be unreadable."

It further says:

"kpsewhich --dpi 1200 --mode lexmarks --no-mktex pk sfrm1000.pfb ecrm1000.vf ecrm1000.1200pk

findtexmf: --dpi: unknown option"


The dvi was produced by compiling a very simple LaTeX code:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document} Haha \end{document}

Note, I don't have any problem displaying this dvi in another dvi viewer (Yap), so this must be a problem with Okular???

Anyone pls, help??? !!!

Can you please paste the output of:
$ which kpsewhich
$ kpsewhich --version
?

Cant run "which" as I'm on windows, the version command for kpsewhich produces the following:

MiKTeX Finder 2.7.2824 (MiKTeX 2.7)

I guess you need texlive/kpathsea version; not sure we do support miktex.

I've got the same problem with Okular. When I'm trying to open .dvi file it says: "Okular was not able to locate all the font files which are necessary to display the current DVI file. Your document might be unreadable."

On Details section it stated:
---

kpsewhich --dpi 1200 --mode lexmarks --no-mktex pk ptmr7t.vf ptmr7t.1200pk ptmb7t.vf ptmb7t.1200pk ptmri7t.vf ptmri7t.1200pk ptmb7t.vf ptmb7t.1200pk ptmr7t.vf ptmr7t.1200pk cmsy10.pfb cmsy10.vf cmsy10.1200pk cmmi10.pfb cmmi10.vf cmmi10.1200pk cmmi7.pfb cmmi7.vf cmmi7.1200pk cmr10.pfb cmr10.vf cmr10.1200pk

...and so on.

Anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?

Do bear in mind that a dvi may not display graphics or rotations properly; this is nothing to do with Okular. If you want an accurate display, you would be better using pdflatex and displaying that in Okular.
