Thanks for your quick reaction. Before ending this eventful day, I ran texexec as you suggested.

(I'm in a meeting the next couple days, so probably won't be as responsive after this email.)

The font in question is Hudson (vendor=softmaker = Berry 5), for which I invented the name 5hu (+r for roman). I have the two files 5hur.pdf and 5hur.afm.

Ugh. IMHO, it's a waste of time bothering with berry style renaming. Texfont's beauty is that it takes fonts as they are (whole directories at a time). It shouldn't create problems if you want to do this renaming, though.

Texfont generated a number of files and put them in several directories: - texnansi-softmaker-hudson.map in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\map\pdftex\context - texnansi-5hur.tfm in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\tfm\softmaker\hudson - texnansi-5hur.vf in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\vf\softmaker\hudson - 5hur.afm in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\afm\softmaker\hudson - 5hur.pfb in J:\tex\localtexmf\fonts\type1\softmaker\hudson

Texfont also generated the following: D:\Fonts\hudson\hudson: texnansi-softmaker-hudson.log D:\Fonts\hudson\hudson: texnansi-softmaker-hudson.tex D:\Fonts\hudson\hudson: texnansi-softmaker-hudson.tmp D:\Fonts\hudson\hudson: texnansi-softmaker-hudson.pdf

The pdf file does not show the hudson font - I wonder if it should.

It should. Do you have \autoloadmapfilestrue uncommented in your cont- sys.tex file? What errors come up in PDF creation? (you *do* use pdfetex as an engine, right?)

Perhaps I should mention that Texfont was interrupted; atf2tfm gets stuck - a conflict with a dll, but if click on OK, nothing serious seems to be the matter. The tfm file is generated after all. If I test afm2tfm without texfont, it works normally.

That interruption doesn't fill me with faith. Is the generated texnansi- 5hur.tfm from the texfont valid?

I have a test file, which is called testhuds-con.tex.

it wasn't attached, in case that was your intention. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
