Hmm...  Thanks for this.  But... From a log file:

INFO>to make LaTeX (family,weight,shape,width) pck,m,sc,: seek pckrc8r
(pckrc8a.afm)

In this case, fontinst 1.6 seems to have used pckrc8a.afm to build a vpl
file with real small caps.

The instruction to fontinst was:

\latinfamily{pck}{}

Any thoughts?  Are you sure you're going mad?

Ta (yet again)
