In my experience, you have to get the coordination between pfb and tfm  
exactly right. Things are case sensitive etc... I'm sure there's just a  
typo or mismatch somewhere

Better to put them in texmf-local or, even better, texmf-project (may have  
to edit setuptex.bat in that case). I NEVER install anything in texmf if I  
can help it.

See also the MyWay I wrote on this topic, maybe something in there will  
help.

Best wishes
Idris
