我刚刚安装了 texlive，并且正在运行官方文档第 3.5 节。测试按预期进行，但当我运行到时，出现testfont.tex了!corrupt nfss table、Overfull hbox、\nopagenumbers和错误。是什么导致了这些错误；是我做错了什么还是安装出了问题？没有关于如何运行这些测试的说明，所以我主要在提示符下使用 return。我怎么知道在提示符下要输入什么？Undefined control sequenceMissing \begin{document}

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.

Sorry, I already gave what help I could...
Maybe you should try asking a human?
An error might have occurred before I noticed any problems.

Standard test files you may find useful in addition to sample2e.tex:
small2e.tex
A simpler document than sample2e, to reduce the input size if you’re having troubles.
testpage.tex
Test if your printer introduces any offsets.
nfssfont.tex
For printing font tables and tests.
testfont.tex
Also for font tables, but using plain TEX.
story.tex
The most canonical (plain) TEX test file of all. You must type ‘\bye’ to the * prompt after ‘tex story.tex’.
Sotestfont.tex要与tex（或etex） not一起使用latex。
你可以这么做latex nfssfont。
