Hello, when I install the font Cataneo (from a Corel CD) with texfont, 4 of the 5 font files (Light, Regular, RegularSwash, Bold) proceed correctly, but on the 4th (BoldSwash) texfont produces an error message an creates empty files. I'm using texlive 2007 from the Debian Lenny GNU/Linux distribution. texmfstart texfont --fontroot=debian/font-cataneo/usr/share/texmf --vendor=bitstrea --collection=cataneo --encoding=texnansi --makepath --install TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 encoding vector : texnansi vendor name : bitstrea source path : . font collection : cataneo texmf font root : debian/font-cataneo/usr/share/texmf map file name : texnansi-bitstrea-cataneo.map source path : . processing files : all on afm path locating afm files : using pattern ./*.afm locating afm files : using pattern * copying files : afm copying : CataneoBT-Bold.afm copying : CataneoBT-BoldSwash.afm copying : CataneoBT-Light.afm copying : CataneoBT-Regular.afm copying : CataneoBT-RegularSwash.afm copying files : pfb copying : CataneoBT-Bold.pfb copying : CataneoBT-BoldSwash.pfb copying : CataneoBT-Light.pfb copying : CataneoBT-Regular.pfb copying : CataneoBT-RegularSwash.pfb no map file at : debian/font-cataneo/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-bitstrea-cataneo.map no map file at : debian/font-cataneo/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/context/texnansi-bitstrea-cataneo.map no map file at : debian/font-cataneo/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/texnansi-bitstrea-cataneo.map font identifier : CataneoBT-Bold -> text -> tfm + vf generating raw tfm/vpl : texnansi-raw-CataneoBT-Bold (from CataneoBT-Bold) generating new vf : texnansi-CataneoBT-Bold (from texnansi-CataneoBT-Bold) B expected: ! syntax error C 83 ; WX 495 ; N S ; B-78 -137 458 637 ; ^ font identifier : -> text -> tfm + vf generating raw tfm/vpl : texnansi-raw-CataneoBT-BoldSwash (from CataneoBT-BoldSwash) B expected: ! syntax error C 83 ; WX 495 ; N S ; B-78 -137 458 637 ; ^ generating new vf : texnansi-CataneoBT-BoldSwash (from texnansi-CataneoBT-BoldSwash) font identifier : CataneoBT-Light -> text -> tfm + vf generating raw tfm/vpl : texnansi-raw-CataneoBT-Light (from CataneoBT-Light) generating new vf : texnansi-CataneoBT-Light (from texnansi-CataneoBT-Light) font identifier : CataneoBT-Regular -> text -> tfm + vf generating raw tfm/vpl : texnansi-raw-CataneoBT-Regular (from CataneoBT-Regular) generating new vf : texnansi-CataneoBT-Regular (from texnansi-CataneoBT-Regular) font identifier : CataneoBT-RegularSwash -> text -> tfm + vf generating raw tfm/vpl : texnansi-raw-CataneoBT-RegularSwash (from CataneoBT-RegularSwash) generating new vf : texnansi-CataneoBT-RegularSwash (from texnansi-CataneoBT-RegularSwash) updating map file : texnansi-bitstrea-cataneo.map (for pdftex) updating map file : texnansi-bitstrea-cataneo.map (for dvipdfm) updating map file : texnansi-bitstrea-cataneo.map (for dvips) generating : ls-r databases mktexlsr: Updating /home/andreas/LaTeX/cataneo/debian/font-cataneo/usr/share/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done.

The AFM file of the font is invalid. There should be a space between the B and the -78.
thanks a lot, I corrected the AFM file (i.e. added a space between the B and the -78), and now texfont produces tfm etc. files. Unfortunatley there is still an error message: kern char not found KPX AT -46 ^ Is this another error in the AFM file? Best wishes Andreas

Is this another error in the AFM file?
Yes. The Format is KPX <leftchar> <rightchar> <kerning> with spaces inbetween. I suspect it needs a space between A and T. Best wishes, Taco

thanks again. Inserting a space between A and T fits to all the other entries and eliminates the error message. I haven't seen a professional font made so grubby yet. Best wishes Andreas

welcome to the world of fonts ... given some errors one sometimes wonders if a font is used at all (some time ago we had to use a 1200 euro font which had a completely wrong afm vector and even the wrong shapes fitting to characters) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
