Ugh. IMHO, it's a waste of time bothering with berry style renaming.
Texfont's beauty is that it takes fonts as they are (whole directories at
a time). It shouldn't create problems if you want to do this renaming, though.

It should. Do you have \autoloadmapfilestrue uncommented in your cont-
sys.tex file?
What errors come up in PDF creation? (you *do* use pdfetex as an engine,
right?)

That interruption doesn't fill me with faith. Is the generated texnansi-
5hur.tfm from the texfont valid?
>I have a test file, which is called testhuds-con.tex.
it wasn't attached, in case that was your intention.
