Oops, I forgot to tell you this. cjk-latex does indeed have some misconfigurations in the .fd files. Strange, because Anthony Fok is the maintainer of both the TFM package and cjk-latex. freetype1-tools will install a file called /etc/ttf2pk/ttfonts.map. Make sure that it contains the following lines: % AR PL Mingti2L Big5 [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ bsmi00lp.ttf [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ bsmi00lp.ttf Slant=0.167 [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ bsmi00lp.ttf Rotate=Yes [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ bsmi00lp.ttf Rotate=Yes Slant=0.167 It should, but you never know... <_<; Now you have to edit the .fd files: go to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/CJK/Bg5/ and edit c00bsmi.fd. Change "bsmilp" with "bsmi". It will look like this: % Arphic PL TrueType font AR PL Mingti2L Big5 / ShanHeiSun-Light (MingTi) \DeclareFontFamily{C00}{bsmi}{\hyphenchar [EMAIL PROTECTED] \DeclareFontShape{C00}{bsmi}{m}{n}{<-> CJK * bsmi}{} \DeclareFontShape{C00}{bsmi}{bx}{n}{<-> CJKb * bsmi}{\CJKbold} This will point all the "bsmi" references to bsmi??.tfm, not bsmilp??.tfm. The changes should be reflected immediately without any updating of the font map files. I tried contacting Anthony about this, but he seems to be MIA. :< That's one of the reasons I have created new packages.

OIC. Interesting to know. I should take a closer look at pdflatex to see the effects of missing TFM files. Regards Danai SAE-HAN 韓達耐 -- 题目:《棋》 作者:王安石(1021-1086) 莫将戏事扰真情,且可随缘道我赢。 战罢两奁分白黑,一枰何处有亏成。
