The search is case-sensitive. So neither pfa nor pfb were found. This is indeed an annoyance to Windows users but for the time being you have to rename your files to the lower case. Created attachment 3968 [details]
patch
Make pf2afm utility friendlier to Windows users: check for .pfa or .pfb
extensions case-insensitively and accept backslash as a path separator.
The path is committed as a rev. 8674. pf2afm didn't change for about 3 years. The patch should be easy to apply to the released versions. |
