Stephan,

thanks for the quick reply. I didn't have time to check at home that 
i'm really using the same version of the tpslifonts package. If you 
change it in the very last cvs update then they may be different. I 
will have a look at this tonight.

I never heard of an `on the fly' generation of tfm filess. You really 
never stop learning :-) What i am aware of is the generation of the 
pk fonts from the mf-source on the fly, which doesn't make sense 
using pdf. Nevertheless this doesn't change anything because the tfm 
is missing earlier. CMacTeX comes with the standard maketexpk but i 
never heard of `mktextfm'.

Hmm, i know how to produce tfm files from the mf source using mf's 
nullmode. And i have the ecfb.mf source. CMacTeX comes with `two 
types' of ec-fonts. There are some which are in a `ready-mf' folder 
and for them tfms exists. ecfb is none of them.

I will try to generate the tfm manually. I'm using CMacTeX for years 
now and never had this problem before. Is there some imput file for 
mktextfm like for maketexpk which you can send me. Just that i have 
an idea which parameters mf to offer for the tfm generation?
