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. > > Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I have been happily using PyX since v0.5 without ever running into this problem before.
