The TrueType fonts are incorrectly converted to Type 1; they lack many characters. I suggest to use FontForge; here's a description how to do it: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2012-03/msg00020.html BTW, this can be scripted so that you don't need to actually call the graphical interface of FontForge: # generate.pe Open($1); Generate($fontname + ".pfa"); # this also generates the .afm file Generate($fontname + ".t42"); Call this with e.g. fontforge -script generate.pe GS_CE_.TTF > As I previously wrote, I used the method from mom's manual. Interesting. I don't have time to verify the steps (and I don't know some of the involved programs), but you did it, and you failed. So maybe the instructions should be revised. Peter? Attached is the output of a small example file Petr sent to me, after converting the PS file with ps2pdf. Werner
