[Tesfaye Ayalew <tesfaye.ayalew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't move the texmf folder from its wrong location to the right
place because I assumed may be some error would come.

I simply removed it and created agin according to:

in35:ayalew >> ~ $mkdir -p texmf/fonts/tfm
in35:ayalew >> ~ $mkdir -p texmf/fonts/truetype
in35:ayalew >> ~ $cd texmf/fonts/truetype/
in35:ayalew >> ~ $/texmf/fonts/truetype$ ln -s
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/CODE2000.TTF ./CODE2000.ttf
in35:ayalew >> ~ $/texmf/fonts/truetype$ ls
CODE2000.ttf

in35:ayalew >> ~ $ find texmf/ -type d
texmf/
texmf/fonts
texmf/fonts/tfm
texmf/fonts/truetype

in35:ayalew >> ~ $ texhash
texhash: Updating /iuehome/ayalew/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/db/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /var/cache/fonts/ls-R...
texhash: Done.

Now I run the tex file

n35:ayalew >> ~ $ latex UTF8-amharic-german.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7)

LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>
bla bla.......

Output written on UTF8-amharic-german.dvi (1 page, 316 bytes).
Transcript written on UTF8-amharic-german.log.

now dvips

in35:ayalew >> ~ $ dvips UTF8-amharic-german.tex
This is dvips(k) 5.86f Copyright 2001 Radical Eye Software
(www.radicaleye.com)
dvips: ! Bad DVI file: first byte not preamble
in35:ayalew >> ~ $ dvips UTF8-amharic-german.dvi

dvips: ! Bad PK file
/iuehome/ayalew/texmf/fonts/pk/modeless/code2k12.720pk: unexpected eof

At this point when I run dvips the folder pk with its subs is created

in35:ayalew >> ~ $ find texmf/fonts/pk -type d
texmf/fonts/pk
texmf/fonts/pk/modeless

in35:ayalew >> ~ $ cd texmf/fonts/pk/modeless/
in35:ayalew >> ~/texmf/fonts/pk/modeless $ ll
total 12
drwxr-x--T 2 ayalew iueusers 4096 Nov 20 14:17 .
drwxr-x--T 3 ayalew iueusers 4096 Nov 20 14:17 ..
-rw-r----- 1 ayalew iueusers 27 Nov 20 14:17 code2k12.720pk

The errors are:

dvips: ! Bad DVI file: first byte not preamble and
dvips: ! Bad PK file
/iuehome/ayalew/texmf/fonts/pk/modeless/code2k12.720pk: unexpected eof

I don't know how to proceed then!
