[tex-live] TL2008: mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for bchr8r.

[Edd Barrett]

Hi,

I think there is a large possibility that this error may be something
I have introduced in porting, but can someone confirm that this test

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{charter}

\begin{document}
test
\end{document}
---8<---

I am seeing this:
