[pdftex] Charter Fonts

I am having some troubles getting pdftex to use Charter fonts on my
system.

I am using a fairly recent installation of fptex (thanks to F Popineau, by the
way), with pdfTeX version 14h (Windows 2000).
(I downloaded my version about 2 months ago, and I believe it is basically
what is on the TeX live 5 CD.)

I have 4 pfb files in ...fonts/type1/bitstream/charter/
                       bchb8a.pfb
                       bchbi8a.pfb
                       bchr8a.pfb
                       bchri8a.pfb
(and I have updated my ls-R database)

My psfonts.map contains the lines from charter.map

bchb8r CharterBT-Bold "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc <bchb8a.pfb
bchbi8r CharterBT-BoldItalic "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc 
<bchbi8a.pfb
bchr8r CharterBT-Roman "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc <bchr8a.pfb
bchri8r CharterBT-Italic "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc <bchri8a.pfb

However, when I run pdf(la)tex using the charter package, I get an error 
saying that the
font shape was not defined, so the cmr fonts are used instead.  (The full 
error log is attached
as NoFdFiles.txt.)

I tried adding some *.fd files related to charter, but I don't believe that 
this is the correct
thing to do, as metapost gets called.  (Output from this has been saved as 
WithFdFiles.txt.)

My simple test case is attached as chtest.tex.

I am sure that there is probably something fairly simple that I need to 
add, but beyond having the proper lines in my *.map files and having the 
*.pfb files, I am not sure what it is.

Thanks,

CHris
