Thanks for this and all the other info! It shows (again) how much
insight went into PyX.
For the record: PCteX hasn't yet answered my request for MTPro2 afms,
but the set comes with pfms. "pf2afm" (from the ghostscript) package
happily created foo.afm ("pf2afm foo"), using foo.pfb and foo.pfm, for
all my foo from MTPro2.
This (after putting the afms in the proper place) quelled the PyX
warnings, of course. I assume it will matter for xetex/luatex also.
Cheers,
Michael
