As it turns out, this is the same for afm2tfm. And to make matters even more confusing, I had the following problem: At one point, I had copied EC.enc to the current directory and fixed it. However, it still didn't work, because: [taco@glenlivet new]$ ls *.enc EC.enc [taco@glenlivet new]$ kpsewhich --progname=dvips ec.enc /opt/tex/teTeX/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/base/EC.enc because of a line in /opt/tex/teTeX/texmf/aliases :-/ Either way, it seems that this LIGKERN interpretation that overrules the afm file is actually considered a feature. The sane way out seems to be to ship our own encoding files in fonts/enc/texfont or so. Taco
