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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=929 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Date: 2005-11-09 20:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=929 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.
