[Tex/LaTex] Ghostscript Error “undefined in H.S”

I downloaded a thesis proposal template. When I compile it no error appears, but to display dvi, I got the following error. So what is the problem and how to fix it?

In your case, Yap (MiKTeX dvi previewer) has problems in rendering your .dvi file. It may depend on some .eps file you are including (as David pointed out) but not necessarily (I've found that sometimes Yap has problems in rendering of fonts, as well).

I've had the same problem in some .dvi documents of mine and I've solved changing the Render Method to Dvips.

To do this in Yap, go to View -> Render Method and change it from Pk to Dvips.

If you want to change it globally, go to View -> Options -> Display -> Default Render Method and do the same as above.
