Hi, i have a problem using metapost

[juseung Lee]

hi, i am beginner of Latex

after i drew a block diagram using DIA, i exported my figure to .eps file and then, i checked out using latex. however, pdf fonts were not converted in latex (e.g : $s$ --> $s$)

i heard that i could convert fonts using metapost.

so, i would like to convert .mp to .eps by using metapost because the font for latex is not provided in DIA directly, which is drawing software tool.

but, error during converting .mp to .eps occurs. how could i solve this problem??
(error : Eun.mp Eun.mpx ! Unable to make mpx file. 1.71 draw btex {\usefont{OT1}{phv}{m}{n} } etex scaled 1.64t shifted)

this as below is my figure file(Eun.mp)

thank you in advance

You must look at the file mpxerr.log, probably you do not have some
fonts (phv) installed properly in you TeX system. Metapost file is
just fine. Here it generates file Eun.1 without problem.

Thank you for your help

i just check my mpxerr.log file but, i don't know what problem is

log file shows as below

could you figure out what the problem is?

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Howdy,

You appear to be running TeX rather than LaTeX.

Good Luck,

You are using format of plain tex but you are using latex syntax in
your metapost file.

In this case Metapost should use latex. On linux I use the following
command

mpost -tex=latex Eun.mp

maybe you can use a similar way.
