Hello, everybody! My fight with the fonts continues, I think I managed to debug most of my problems. However, I found out that my TeXLive installation seems to lack some of the very basic postscript font files (i.e they do not exist on my computer) and thus I still cannot install all the fonts mentioned in the type-tmf.bat file (of which I now have a version that really works with latest TeXLive+Windows, if somebody is interested). The TeXfont manual says (p. 4, under "Generating metrics") "Installation here comes down to copying the afm and pfb files, as well as generating the tfm and vf files." This sentence leads me to believe that I cannot generate the missing pfb files myself out of something else, so where can I find them? I lack the following: urw/helvetic: uhvb8an.pfb, uhvbi8a.pfb, uhvr8an.pfb, uhvri8a.pfb, uhvri8an.pfb (No wonder Helvetica has been giving me gray hairs all the way through!) bit/charter (NOT bitstrea/charter on TeXLive): bchb8a.pfb, bchbi8a.pfb, bchr8a.pfb, bchri8a.pfb urw/bookman: ubkb8a.pfb, ubkbi8a.pfb, ubkr8a.pfb, ubkri8a.pfb I seem to have all the .afm files for these fonts, just the .pfb:s are totally missing - any ideas of where I could get them and how? For the record: the combination I use just now is WinXP+TeXLive 7+(newest) ConTeXt, but I think the problem originates from TeXLive 7 full installation and is not system dependent. Thank you for any help, Mari from Finland

I lack the following:
Just to confirm that I don't have them either:
urw/helvetic:
none of these exist on my system. But looking at the names: urw/helvetic: uhvb8an.pfb, uhvbi8a.pfb, uhvr8an.pfb, uhvri8a.pfb, uhvri8an.pfb they look strange. What is ...8an? According to fontname some kind of informal. and uhvri8an.. a regular italic informal helvetica? Strange.
bit/charter (NOT bitstrea/charter on TeXLive): bchb8a.pfb, bchbi8a.pfb, bchr8a.pfb, bchri8a.pfb
these fonts match the names you mention, /opt/texlive/7/texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchb8a.pfb /opt/texlive/7/texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchbi8a.pfb /opt/texlive/7/texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchr8a.pfb /opt/texlive/7/texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchri8a.pfb Why not bitstea/charter?
urw/bookman: ubkb8a.pfb, ubkbi8a.pfb, ubkr8a.pfb, ubkri8a.pfb
don't have these, either. I have demi variant, not bold as you request. Are you sure you need them? Patrick
