This is supposedly the name of the tfm file for that particular font. However texfont produces a map file like this: 8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic AGaramond-Italic 4 < AGaramond-Italic.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular AGaramond-Regular 4 < AGaramond-Regular.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-RegularSC AGaramond-RegularSC 4 < AGaramond-RegularSC.pfb 8r.enc ...and texfont actually produces two tfm files per font. The correct name to use in a \font statement is the second name in the generated map file statement, not the first. Since not all map file statements have the second parameter this can be confusing. Since texfont attempts to provide for both pdftex and Context users this little gotcha should be referenced in the texfont manual. I discovered it by accident. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
