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.
