If autoexpand is used, "ä" is printed. Also the log shows control characters at some points in the trace of the first page, most notably in the fonts names (0a and 00). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody (None) Date: 2004-08-26 22:57 Message: Logged In: NO I don't think this is a pdftex bug. The virtual font is broken. You get the same result with this plain tex file: ----------------------------------- \font\testfont=pegri9d+20\testfont ä ö ü \char199 \char172 \char185 \char177 \char208 \char174 \char199 \bye ----------------------------------- Running

vftovp pegri9d+20.vf pegri9d+20.tfm test.vp will report some of the broken characters.
