Hello,

the file dvips-text_a.txt looks quite normal, except that it ends after 
opening of 
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/adobe-lwfn.map. Could 
there be any problem with that file? Could you rerun updmap? Can you 
temporarily rename the file?

The second strange thing for me is your shell output: Prozess gestartet ...

I would expect somethink like
This is dvips(k) 2023.1 (TeX Live 2023)  Copyright 2023 Radical Eye
Software (www.radicaleye.com <http://www.radicaleye.com>)

Is there some wrapper around?

Good luck

Alois
