    Error loading afm character with pslib

    I have a c example program of using pslib he compile fine but when I execute the program he say:

    PSLib: Font outline could not be loaded for '/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic/phvb8a'.
    PSLib: The font encoding vector does not contain the glyph 'onehalf'. Using '?' instead.
    Segmentation fault

    The line referred to the error is

    Code:
    fraktur = PS_findfont(psdoc,"/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic/phvb8a", "",1);
    antiqua = PS_findfont(psdoc, "/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/adobe/helvetic/phvb8a", "" , 0);

    The function don't find the encoding file and I don't now where is the enc file associate to that character

    However i have no problem on the execution of programs that creates only graphics

    Thanks all for the answers

    Have you done an strace on the program? What does that tell you? Perhaps you could post the results for us to see?

    If the question is "where are my .enc files" then it's generally stuff/fonts/enc/dvips (and maybe base under that).
