Hello,
when I install the font Cataneo (from a Corel CD) with texfont, 4 of the 5
font files (Light, Regular, RegularSwash, Bold) proceed correctly, but on the
4th (BoldSwash) texfont produces an error message an creates empty files. I'm
using texlive 2007 from the Debian Lenny GNU/Linux distribution.
texmfstart

What causes the error? How can I correct it?
Thanks for your help

The AFM file of the font is invalid. There should be a space
between the B and the -78.
Best wishes,
Taco

thanks a lot, I corrected the AFM file (i.e. added a space between the B and
the -78), and now texfont produces tfm etc. files. Unfortunatley there is
still an error message:
kern char not found
KPX AT -46
^
Is this another error in the AFM file?
Best wishes
Andreas

Yes. The Format is
KPX <leftchar> <rightchar> <kerning>
with spaces inbetween. I suspect it needs a space between A and T.
Best wishes,
Taco

thanks again. Inserting a space between A and T fits to all the other entries
and eliminates the error message. I haven't seen a professional font made so
grubby yet.
Best wishes

welcome to the world of fonts ... given some errors one sometimes
wonders if a font is used at all (some time ago we had to use a 1200
euro font which had a completely wrong afm vector and even the wrong
shapes fitting to characters)
