Thanks Jurgen i tried the following steps:
1. Run *initexmf --edit-config-file updmap*. 2. Insert the following line at the end of the file: Map mdbch.map 3. Save the file and close the editor. 4. Run *initexmf --mkmaps* to rebuild the font map files. BUT I GET THE SAME error: !pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file bchr8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for rea i really cant figure out what to do and how to install this bchr8a?
