On all the systems I use, (linux, SGI Irix, Win32 with texLive) you have to run texfont to generate tfm's, vf's and map files for fonts other than CM. The last time I tried to run texfont (from the final TeX Live 2003 inst iso), it tried to use a lower-cased version of the install path, e.g., /opt/texline instead of /opt/texLive. > If no developer/Perl expert has Gerbens version of tetex perhaps I could > help debug if a version was supplied to me that printed out the full path > that texfont was looking for files in.

You will have to learn a tiny bit of perl (which is easier than learning TeX). -- George N.
