Although the pre-created metrics are read, the physical font (pfb resp. pk) is ignored. As has been discussed re: bugs/304, *not* using autoexpansion gives better results for MM (and MF) fonts, since the fonts are not stretched blindly but stroke widths are adjusted etc. I've moved the test file from bugs/304 here. Another example is (with an existing file cmr10+100.mf): \pdfadjustspacing2 \pdfmapline{ cmr10} \pdfmapline{+cmr10+100} \font\cmr =cmr10 \cmr \pdffontexpand\cmr 100 0 100 %autoexpand Hamburgefonts\par \parfillskip 0pt Hamburgefonts \bye ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=696&group_id=106
