Re: Unable to use the "bbm" font with dvipng 1.16

[Jan-Åke Larsson]

Hi,

There is a typo in v1.16 that causes PK rendering to fail. I have fixed this in the git archive, and this will be released as a bugfix release as soon as I can find the time to do that.

dvipng 1.15 does not have this problem.

Hi,

I was trying to compile the following tex file with pdflatex and dvipng

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bbm}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}

$\mathbbm{N}$

\end{document}

But dvipng failed with the following error:

dvipng: Fatal error, PK file /Users/alice/Library/texlive/2019/texmf-var/fonts/pk/cx/public/bbm/bbm10.400pk ends prematurely


The commands I used:

pdflatex --output-format dvi test.tex

dvipng test.dvi

Environment:

- MacTeX 2019

- dvipng 1.16

- pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019)
- kpathsea version 6.3.1
