If no one else has anything I could work up an example. I've not done much with MF fonts, but just ran a test to verify that I could access a MF face on TeXLive. The typescript mechanics are the same regardless of font format. For MF files mktexpk must be run first to generate the pk files. To do this I made a dvi version of the document first, and then xdvi generated the pk files correctly. Then the --pdf run was able to include them. I presume there is a way to do this in one step automatically, but the the only time I normally see mktexpk is when I've made a mistake in declaring my type1 fonts and it tries to generate something that doesn't exist! -Bill -- Sattre Press Pagan Papers http://sattre-press.com/ by Kenneth Grahame info@sattre-press.com http://pp.sattre-press.com/
