Re: font mapfiles

Hans, Adam,

thanks for your replies! I just tried with Adam's version and my old  
version of cont-sys.tex, but it made no difference - do I have to  
rebuild the formats every time I change this file? I'll do more  
experiments this weekend, but will be away from my computer from  
tomorrow till Friday. Thanks for your help, I'll report back!

Best

Thomas
