Try >padding your vector out with 232 /.notdef tokens, and you *should* be in >business! Thnx very much for pointing this out! Also: I have a suggestion to you and Hans for the next version of texfont: Along with installing the pfb's and afm's into the texmf-fonts/fonts tree, it would be useful to also install the user-defined encoding files into /texmf-fonts/fonts/enc/dvips// whenever the --en switch calls for it. As it is now I have to install them manually. But thank you very much; I am indeed ""back in business"!
