I had the same problem, the fix is to get buildafmdir from your 2.X disk, and install and use the old version of the program instead. This bug was in PR2 also, but it seems that either no-one reported it or NeXT didn't bother to fix it. vince -- vince@whatnxt.cuc.ab.ca (NeXT Mail accepted) demarco@cpsc.ucalgary.ca Nobody speaks the truth when there's something they must have.
