Re: TYPE 1 fonts in pdf files generated by jadetex

If anybody else has the same problem, here is my solution:
pdftex uses a file pdftex.cfg, which contains amongst other things the names of
the map files. One of these files (standard.map)  contains the mapping between
the short names (like pagk8r) and the long Postscript names (like
AvantGarde-Book). And this entry had a leading comment.
Removing the comment helped and now the fonts in my pdf files look as they
should :-)
(Reinstalling MikTex reintroduced the problem, so I guess this must be a
feature of MikTex ...)

There are few other problems now, but that is another story ..
