I reinstalled my entire texmf from the TeXlive cdrom just in case I
had messed up something along the way. Then I tried my runn command
again. If I don't try to use the --show option I get no errors. If I
use the --show option I get a file  of 13k error messages.

Any suggestions from anyone? All I want to do is have a few glyphs of
my own design available.
