Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I’m afraid there is no font there.
Compiling the source above with MkIV generates a PDF document with the object 1 0 obj, which contains a /Font dictionary including two /Type0 font dictionaries.
Compiling the source above with LMTX the resulting PDF document contains a /Page dictionary (6 0 obj) with /Font dictionary within. This dictionary refers to an existing /Type0 font dictionary (1 0 obj) and a missing "2 0 obj".
I don’t know why "2 0 obj" isn’t generated, but this should be the missing font.
I don't have that font. The version I have here works ok.
An alternative to Arial Narrow is Arial Nova which has condensed variant and comes as part of the pan-european font pack in windows 10.
I’m afraid a new font is not an option for me at work. But there are better (unicode) versions available on windows, why nmot use those then (as wolfgang pointed out).
