Is this a bug?

[Rebecca and Rowland]

I've just downloaded the latest finst from CTAN and tried:

\input fontinst.sty

\latinfamily{pck}{}% Caslon Book BE
\latinfamily{pckx}{}% Caslon Book BE
\latinfamily{pck9}{}% Caslon Book BE

\bye

on:

pckb7d.afm
pckb8a.afm
pckb8x.afm
pcki7d.afm
pckm8a.afm
pckm8x.afm
pckmc8a.afm
pckr8a.afm
pckr8x.afm
pckrc8a.afm
pckri8a.afm
pckri8x.afm

And got the result you can see in the log at the end of this email.  Is it
a bug with fontinst or something else?  I've done \latinfamily{pck}{} with
an earlier version of fontinst 1.6 and had no trouble.

Any ideas?

Rowland.

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
try increasing the appropriate parameter in the current config file.
