So only three calls to afm2tfm in total. Is there an afm2pl executable in miktex, btw? That would nicely solve the problem. > 2. $encstr in the first {} block does NOT affect the $encstr > in the second {} block, poor indention in this code may give > you a wrong idea. At this point in the code, $encstr usually has a "-T ..." value (which implies -p as well, as Patrick tried to explain before). > So, there is just one call here, without -p. > > 4. my $command = "afm2tfm $file $cleanname.tfm" ; > Obviously, no -p. This is the 'panic' call I thought was #4, it is only executed when you explicitly call texfont with the (hidden) switch --expert. > To summarize above, 3 calls to afm2tfm total, 1 call with -p > only. True, but the second call normally has a "-T" in it, and the third call is only for people that believe they are "smarter than Hans". Anyway, this is all just silly. There is a bug in afm2tfm in miktex, period. Taco
