Bug#449221: texlive-fonts-extra: bbold broken at some sizes
Package: texlive-fonts-extra
Version: 2007.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal
The bbold font (sans serif blackboard bold) included with
texlive-fonts-extra cannot be used at point sizes other than
5,6,7,8,9,10,12,17. Metafont fails with hundreds of lines of errors,
beginning with:
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/jknapltx/ubbold.fd)kpathsea: Running
mktextfm bbold11
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode;
input bbold11
This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.6)

The same problem appears to have affected an OpenBSD package containing
"bbold", and a fix is described at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ports@openbsd.org/msg12701.html
The following sequence of commands, based on the OpenBSD patch, fixed
the problem for me:
rm /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/jknapltx/ubbold.fd
rm /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/sauterfonts/subbold.fd
mv /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/bbold/Ubbold.fd \
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/bbold/ubbold.fd
mktexlsr
