I can't help feeling that it'd make >sense for \\latinfamily to look out for condensed variants. \\latinfamily wants condensed variants to be designated by "n", as opposed to "c", until you put the following into fontinst.rc: \\def\\latin_widths{    \\latin_width{}{} %   \\latin_width{n}{c}    \\latin_width{c}{c}    \\latin_width{x}{x}} Maybe this should be documented in the fontinst guide :-) >>But aside from that, when I try installing the above founts using: >[...] >   \\installfont{punr8tc}{punr8rc,latin}{T1}{t1} {pun}{mc}{n}{} >[..] >I get the expected pl and vpl files, but no fd files.  Maybe this works:     \\installfont{punr8tc}{punr8rc,latin}{t1}{T1}{pun}{mc}{n}{} I.e., the name of the encoding (T1) should be uppercased, matching the \\installfamily command, whereas the name of the related t1.etx  file should be lowercase  (the latter being relevant on Unix systems  only).
