Looks like a typing error in the pfb rename of 0018a___.pfb: it should be named zhum601bi.pfb (note the 'm').

Is renaming required? I got the fonts from a CorelDRAW cdrom. I used the files as is.

Anyway other font collections also have deviating filenames, and they work just fine.

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

I renamed all the fonts according to: http://www.tug.org/fontname/html/Bitstream-fonts.html#Bitstream-fonts I did this using a script, so there very little chance of error.

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.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Regards, Pascal de Bruijn
