A pretty good day

A pretty good day

[David Arnold]

All,

Well today I made some progress with texfont.pl. After getting my Lucida
fonts to work I decided to tackle:

http://www.pragma-ade.com:8080/context/Members/willi/My%20Way/NaturalTables.
tex

Got my Palatino fonts installed and working, even the slanted ones! :-)

Found that I need pixfonts, which I updated using the Miktex package
manager. Then I set texfont to work on these pixfonts. I am just about
there, but hung up on the last little bit.

In trying to compile NaturalTables.tex with:

texexec --pdf --mode=MyWay NaturalTables.tex

I get this warning at the end of my log file.

Warning: PDFETEX (file rpxmi): Font rpxmi at 600 not found

Warning: PDFETEX (file pxsy): Font pxsy at 600 not found
{8r.enc}<uplr8a.pfb><uplb8a.pfb>
<f:\localtexmf\fonts\pk\ljfour\jknappen\ec\dpi
645\ectt1000.pk><uplr8a.pfb>
Output written on NaturalTables.pdf (10 pages, 138726 bytes).

Opening the PDF file leads to problems. The first page loads OK, but paging
down I get:

1. There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this
document(14).
2. Could not find a font in the Resources directory--using Helvetica instead.
3. There was a problem reading the document.

Examining the fonts in the pdf file shows:

URWPalladioL-Roma
F104
URWPalladioL-Bold
Helvetica

So, some sort of font substitution seems to have occurred.

Any help or suggestions coming my would be appreciated.

pdftex does not find the font-outlines (PFBs). after installation, did you
 rehash the ls-R database?

try:
kpsewhich pxsy.pfb
to check if the fonts can be found

Jens,

Looks like Miktex's kpsewhich command is an alias for findtexmf. Neither
can find pxsy.pfb. Neither can find any pfb.


F:\ConTeXt>kpsewhich cmr5.pfb

F:\ConTeXt>kpsewhich a4.sty
F:\miktex\tex\latex\ntgclass\a4.sty

F:\ConTeXt>kpsewhich texfont.pl

F:\ConTeXt>kpsewhich texexec.pl

F:\ConTeXt>kpsewhich article.sty
F:\miktex\tex\latex\base\article.sty

F:\ConTeXt>kpsewhich pxsy.pfb


Weird, huh? Not much use.

Anyhow, yes I did update the database and pxsy.pfb is located in:

Similarly, the afm, tmf, and vf files are in place. I've also added the map
file to pdftex.cfg.

Hmm, it seems to be a MikTeX problem, a system i don't know.
Thus, IMO, you should better ask in a MikTeX forum.

Best,
