Thank you! Now it works.
I added this onto the Wiki page, as well. I did a few other changes
there, as well (mostly according to your suggestions).

since siep is no longer actively maintaining afm2pl (which is used when --afmpl
is issued), is there a volunteer on this list who can take over?

I installed a new font (Gentium, TrueType).
Everything went relatively smoothly except
for one thing: When I type -- I really get
two hyphens instead of the expected en
dash.
I have been able to work around this by
using UTF regime and typing the en dash
into the source file. However, it would
be easier to use -- and ---. What should
I do? (Yeah, I know, forget it and be
happy that the UTF works :)
TIA,
- Ville

Hi Ville.
I'll assume you did it as you described on the Wiki (I made some
suggestions on where to move the page).
Try adding the --afmpl switch to your texfont command. It switches over
to the afmpl utility, which does better with preserving ligatures and kerns.
