Hi Adam, Thanks for your quick reaction. Before ending this eventful day, I ran texexec as you suggested. The font in question is Hudson (vendor=softmaker = Berry 5), for which I invented the name 5hu (+r for roman). I have the two files 5hur.pdf and 5hur.afm. Texfont generated a number of files and put them in several directories: - texnansi-softmaker-hudson.map in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\map\pdftex\context - texnansi-5hur.tfm in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\tfm\softmaker\hudson - texnansi-5hur.vf in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\vf\softmaker\hudson - 5hur.afm in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\afm\softmaker\hudson - 5hur.pfb in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\type1\softmaker\hudson Texfont also generated the following: D:\Fonts\hudson\hudson: texnansi-softmaker-hudson.log D:\Fonts\hudson\hudson: texnansi-softmaker-hudson.tex D:\Fonts\hudson\hudson: texnansi-softmaker-hudson.tmp D:\Fonts\hudson\hudson: texnansi-softmaker-hudson.pdf The pdf file does not show the hudson font - I wonder if it should. Perhaps I should mention that Texfont was interrupted; atf2tfm gets stuck - a conflict with a dll, but if click on OK, nothing serious seems to be the matter. The tfm file is generated after all. If I test afm2tfm without texfont, it works normally. I have a test file, which is called testhuds-con.tex. Kind regards, Robert
