[texhax] Metafont failed for some reason on ptmb7t.864gf

[Cristan Szmajda]

Hi,

I am having trouble with teTeX 2.0.2 which I just installed
from the binary package on FreeBSD 5.0.  With
\usepackage{times} I get an error message about the font
ptmb7t (pasted below).  The files
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/times/ptmb7t.tfm and
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/times/ptmb7t.vf are
present.

This seems to be similar to a question in tug-support
( http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tug-support/2003-March/001209.html )
which I can't find a satisfactory answer to.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
