Bug#234550: missing mathpi support files
Package: tetex-extra
Version: 2.0.2-5.1
The mathpi package in tetex-extra is broken at present. Documents that
include the \mathscr, \mathbb, or \mathfrak commands from mathpi.sty will
compile without error, but the corresponding fonts won't be found or
displayed in the DVI file, even though the font outline files mh[1-6].pfb are
correctly installed in fonts/type1/yandy/mathpi.
The problem is that tetex is missing the supporting .afm files,
fonts/afm/yandy/mathpi/mh[1-6].afm. I downloaded these files from
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/151-200/158, and
installed them locally:
$ ls /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/mathpi
mh1.afm mh2.afm mh3.afm mh4.afm mh5.afm mh6.afm
With these extra files installed, mathpi works correctly.
