1. Certainly the *easiest* way to get a working solution is to change the fontsynonyms in typ-dis.tex so that they match the real world instead of the desired world.
in the past we have cycled between both [u|p]plr8t kind of names and the problem was that (1) sometimes one of them was missing (2) this aliasses file (obscure kpse feature) was interfering (3) the location of files changed [this urw35v thing] resulting in missed files while copying for instance, it was always a gamble what reference to the dingbats would work today so
