For all the standardization that Adobe set out to establish, it is amazing how many inconsistencies there are in the various file formats associated with Type 1 fonts. There are probably inconsistancies in the various entries in your .AFM file(s) and the ASCII header(s) of the .PFB file(s). PgS supplies a utility to correct these problems. DON'T USE IT! It wrote garbage to my hard drive. Examine the files, using a text editor for the .AFM file and a HEX editor (NEWZAP) for the .PFB and examine the entries for Fontname, fullname, family name, and version number. These must correspond. Alter either file to accomplish this and the problem should clear up.
