What happened was that a lot of complaints about "unknown subpath ../afm/public/urw" were given even though the path should have been there. This is a known problem, has been on several mailing lists, as well. After a lot of thinking it became clear that texfont was really unable to find any font files. By browsing through the texfont.pl, the reason became evident: In gwTeX the root variables are: TEXMFMAIN = /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf TEXMFTE = /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex The problem here is that all the TeXlive fonts (and almost everthing else) is really in the TEXMFTE tree. My quick'n'dirty was to make new file type-tmf-gwtex.dat by replacing all occurrences of TEXMFMAIN by TEXMFTE. Running that one in batch mode works fine. Problem solved -- this time. But the solution is not a beautiful one. Could someone suggest something cleaner? Or has this been solved already (I tried googling after the answer without success)? - Ville
