Uh, I wouldn't dare to call my box stable, it's full of backports. But
yes, dvipdfm is also from unstable (tetex-bin-2.0.2-5.1). And I get the
error. The output is a little different:

$ dvipdfm -v 222682-dvipdfm.dvi
222682-dvipdfm.dvi -> 222682-dvipdfm.pdf

That is, the encoding is different, f7b6d320 (whatever that means)
compared to ot1r, and the last item is a spool file with you and a PFB
entry here. I don't even have /var/spool/texmf nor
/var/cache/fonts/pk/ljfour/public.
$ locate "ljfour/public"
$
I don't have any idea to interpret that. But perhaps it really has to do
something with encoding, as I found in the README file.
Bye, Frank
