Summary: error copying .pfb font to pdf
Initial Comment:
I'm an user of MikTeX package (vers 2.4) and uses
pdfLaTeX on a regular basis.
I bought a Poscript Type 1 Sabon Font family from
Monotype and when using the italic (msbri8a.pfb)
pdfeTex has a problem and stops writing output. The
pdf is unusable.
I checked the .pfb and its Ok. I can use it with
Latex but then I have other problems (graphics, and
symbol fonts).
Here is an extract of the log file:
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (MiKTeX
2.4) (preloaded format=latex 2005.11.7) 9 NOV 2005
19:41
.
.
.
{8r.enc} Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not
finished!
----------------------------
If you need, I have all the
necessary .pfb, .afm, .tfm, .fd, .vf, .map, .enc, .sty
and a short .tex file to reproduce the problem.
Anyway I attach them so you have them if you need.
Many thanks in advance

seems the font file msbri8a.pfb is broken. It is missing the
line
mark currentfile closefile
near the end. The other fonts in this family are ok! With
the missing line, pdftex can't find the end of the eexec
section. The above statements are normally part of any Type1
font, see the Type1 specification by Adobe.
Just compare your font with other .pfb's after disassembling
by t1disasm. Add above line at the right place, make a new
.pfb by t1asm -b and pdftex will happily use the font.
And complain to the font manufacturer! :-)
Regards, Hartmut

it's likely that this is solved in a newer version. I can't
check without the font. Try to retest on 1.30.4 from MiKTeX.
Or you might send me the pack of test files to
hartmut_henkel at gmx dot de.
