[pdftex] font warning for cmfib10.pfb

[Ross Moore]

Hi all.

Can anyone offer an explanation for why this occurs:

Warning: /usr/local/share/bin/alphaev56-dec-osf4.0e/pdftex (file cmfib10.pfb):
cannot open Type 1 font file for reading

There is no font  cmfib10  used in the document, nor is this a normal
part of a teTeX installation.

The font  cmfib8  is the usual Fibonacci font.
It isn't used directly in the document, but *is* used within included images:

I'd guess that pdfTeX is trying to find a .pfb file on the local system,
to be a common base for these subsetted fonts within the included images.

But why is pdftex looking for  cmfib10.pfb  rather than  cmfib8.pfb ?

Is it safe to copy or link, e.g:  ln -s cmfib8.pfb cmfib10.pfb
to avoid this warning ?
Is there anything to gain/lose by doing this ?
