________________________________

I'm trying to use the ascii.sty package for a document (in which i want to display a list of all ASCII codes and their corresponding characters) with MikTex. Working from ascii2006.pdf document, i obtained the necessary files and copied them to the relevant directories of my latex installation. (Incidentally, i couldn't find a copy of ASCII.afm.) The directories specified (for a Unix installation of Tex) do not correspond precisely to the ones in my MikTex distribution, but i put the files where i they seemed to have to go.

However, when i compile the simplest of documents using the ascii package, i get the following message:

   Trying to make PK font ASCII at 600 DPI...
   :
   blah, blah
   :
   PK font ASCII could not be created.

I subscribe to the RTFM principle, but i'm afraid i've been unable to locate TFM to solve this problem despite scouring the internet and the few Latex books at my disposal. Could someone please point me in the right direction - i'm spending hours on something i'm sure could be resolved in 5 minutes if i just knew how.

Thanks, Ken
