Hi:

I managed to get TeX to use my Bembo postscript fonts some time ago,  
having found afm/and lwfn files and constructed the various bits TeX  
needs.

However the following file

--

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{bembo}
\begin{document}
\section{Character problems with Bembo font}
\pounds 5 should be 5 pounds sterling; actually it's dollars
\end{document}
--

produces the following error:

and i get a dollar sign instead of a pound sign.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Is it a mapping problem, or a  
missing glyph problem, or a telling TeX something problem?


Thanks for any enlightenment

Nick

(PS: It might at least convert the amount as it converts the currency!!)
