There is a free christmas font Chrimbobat (www.fontmonster.co.uk). After
making a myfonts.map file, the font could be included into TeX text, e.
g. by \font \chrim chrimbob at 100pt \chrim m \bye and displayed (even
zoomed into) with xdvi.
But dvips fails:
This is dvips(k) 5.92a Copyright 2002 Radical Eye

' TeX output 2002.12.15:2220' -> x.ps

Error: module writet1 (file chrimbob.pfb): buffer overflow [8192 bytes]
And so does pdftex:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10a-beta-20021115 (Web2C 7.3.11)

Error: pdftex (file chrimbob.pfb): buffer overflow
==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!
Same after font conversion to .pfa.
ls -l tells:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 hahe hahe 150415 12-04 09:06 chrimbob.pfb
Which buffer is this? Is this a web2c feature? Can the buffer be
increased?
Greetings Hartmut
