Re: texfont produces faked ligatures with ec encoding

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Sorry, I haven't followed this thread closely (so I have no idea if this
has already been solved), but I had a similar symptom a while ago. It
turned out that it was something with the default EC.enc that ships with
tetex. Can you try to do the conversion again, this time using lm-ec.enc
instead of EC.enc? I can send a longer explanation if that's of
interest, but I found that it solved the problem in my case.
