OK, these files are certainly missing on all the machines I have
access to. For instance, on my laptop (OS X 10.4 PPC, teTeX), the only
bluesky/cm directory I have is

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm

which contains pfb files, not afm. Same story on all my linux
machines, which are running FC 7 with a full standard TeX
installation. There is a package tetex-afm, which is installed, but
this does not contain a bluesky/cm directory.

OK, I could try that, but installing fonts by hand isn't going to scale well :(

It seems from this page

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureTexLive

that no texlive package is available for FC7

I think for the moment, it would be easier for me to downgrade PyX. I
have been happily using PyX since v0.5 without ever running into this
problem before.

Cheers

Will
