Re: dvipdfm, type 3 fonts included

Hi,

thank you, indeed the cm-super fonts were missing. In fact, on my
older installation they had been installed, too. However, I didn't see
them in the package manager because I opened its admin version and the
package had been installed as user. In the user package manager the
installation is shown correctly. I wasn't aware of this possibility.

So this problem has been solved.

Cheers, Olaf
