Installing fonts with non standard names

[Luca Turchetti]

Hi Albert,

thank you for your kind help. In fact, I didn't notice that the fontname.pdf
file I downloaded from www.ctan.org was not the most recent one.
Between 1999 and 2001 the fontname for Shelley-AndanteScript changed from
"zpshans" to (standard) "pser8a".
The font is now correctly installed.

Thank you again
Luca
