Hello,
I've just begun reading 'The Font Installation Guide' by Phillipp  
Lehman and have been successful with the first tutorial.
However, I'm stuck with a TeX error in the second tutorial. I've  
tried to carefully follow the tutuorial.

This is the error message I receive whn processing my fontinst file:

! Transformfont error:
         Failed to make transformed font psbro8r;

! Transformfont error:
         Failed to make transformed font psbbo8r;
         source font metrics file not found.

?
