I just went to install several new font faces and only some of them showed up. I've been banging my head against the wall for hours. 1. I'm installing all my fonts in /LocalLibrary/Fonts (actually the Fonts directory is a symbolic link to a Fonts directory on an external disk, but this *shouldn't* matter). 2. I've run buildafmdir in this directory. 3. The fonts are all valid type 1 fonts. 4. If I first remove some other fonts, all of the new ones appear. I finally broke down and counted all of the fonts that were available. Lo and behold, there were exactly 255! This is including all Typefaces in all families. What gives? Don't tell me it a 3.0 bug?!? It's a 3.0 bug! Use the 2.x buildafmdir. It works fine. -- Martin Farach farach@dimacs.rutgers.edu
