    Hi!

    I received a similar error message from Acrobat when using a fontname that included spaces. When I deleted the spaces in fonts.xml the problem went away.

    Gustaf--

    Yes, I transferred my afm directory as well. The error message I get in the XEP log is this:

    {?file:/d:/XEP-3.17/etc/fonts.xml: FontName 'Geometric Plain' specified in AFM d
    oes not match font name 'geometric'}

    This appeared for several other custom fonts as well (all of which worked fine with 3.04). Tweaking the font names to match those that XEP seemed to want eliminates the error message, but this particular font still gives me problems even when I fix the name from "Geometric" to "Geometric Plain" (and add "Geometric" as an alias).

    When I view the generated PDF, every time I try to view a page containing a character from this font, Acrobat Reader (5.05) gives me this error:

    There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document(110).
