Not only OpenBSD. See the discussion I had with tex-live upstream <URL:http://lists.debian.org/debian-tex-maint/2006/12/msg00645.html> and the other threads mentioned in that thread. I thought a solution had been implemented at that time. > The following sequence of commands, based on the OpenBSD patch, fixed > the problem for me: > > rm /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/jknapltx/ubbold.fd I think this (together with mktexlsr) should be sufficient. Of course, a proper solution should be put into TeX Live proper: Either include the Sauter font versions of bbold (and probably other fonts) or remove the support files. > rm /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/sauterfonts/subbold.fd > mv /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/bbold/Ubbold.fd \ > /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/bbold/ubbold.fd > mktexlsr cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
