+Dvipsk converts a DVI file produced by TeX (or other program) to
+a PostScript file. Missing fonts can be automatically generated if
+METAFONT exists on the system, or can be converted from `gf' to `pk'
+format on demand. Dvips also supports `tpic', `psfig', `emtex',
+and `METAPOST'.
+
+The dvipsk program is modified version of Tom Rokicki's dvips and
+use the kpathsea library for configuration and path searching.
+You may have to set some variables in the path configuration file for
+kpathsea /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf so that the program
+can find PK fonts, Virtual fonts and TFM files. For example,
+
+PKFONTS = .:/usr/local/lib/fonts//:{$dbfonts,$VARTEXFONTS}//pk/$MAKETEX_MODE//
+VFFONTS = .:/usr/local/share/fonts/vf-a2bk:$dbfonts//vf//
+TFMFONTS = .:/usr/local/share/fonts/vf-a2bk:{$dbfonts,$VARTEXFONTS}//tfm//
