The font is Bitstream Souvenir (Light and Demi). vf is a font issue not a context issue, actualy it's a dvi/pdf driver issue; normally using an texnansi encoding vector when applying afm2tfm works good; did you put the vf's in the right place? did you run mktexlsr? i have a perl script that can be of help and the font manual says some things [although most of th emanual concerns the new type face layer] Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
