LaTeX problem missing font?

I'm getting the following error in my missfont.log, and some chars are rendered wrong. I can't however seem to find out how to slove this:

mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+57/600 --dpi 657 eurmo10

Re: LaTeX problem missing font?

Are you getting this error when you try to view a file (if so, a .dvi file?) or when trying to compile a .tex document? If you have a .dvi file, does converting it to ps (via dvips) or pdf (via dvips/ps2pdf or via dvipdfmx) help? Is this document one you created yourself, or got from someone else? Is it old?

Anyway, the font in question (eurmo) is mentioned as one that might require custom configuration for the package the handles the core postscript fonts for LaTeX: here, but is very sketchy in the details. A minimal working example of the code generating the problem would make it much easier to troubleshoot.

Re: LaTeX problem missing font?

I have narrowed it down to this

When I use

\pi

I do get the error, using a uppercase 'P' does not provoke it, like so:

\Pi

Although I can live with that, it looks ugly with a caplital pi
