Ah, thanks for that. Indeed, there are .pfm and .pfb files in the Fonts directory now. But still mtxrun --script fonts --reload doesn't seem to check for those file types... Best regards, Stefan. On 17.03.2011 13:40, Ulrike Fischer wrote: Am Thu, 17 Mar 2011 10:05:17 +0100 schrieb Stefan

So... I think I got somewhere now with the explanations from you and mathew. It seems that the problem were the missing .afm files (as mtxrun wanted those, not .pfm nor .pfb). I found two different solutions A and B: (1) Install fonts (.pfm) in Windows (2A) Put .afm files to C:\Windows\Fonts
