I am trying to use the swabfamily font, though I am getting this warning:

Warning: pdflatex (file yswab): Font yswab at 1493 not found

I got this in my listfiles call:

Thanks alot, that worked.

I was wondering is there a way to place a table caption on a figure that was included? Such that I would get table indexing, as apposed to figure indexing.
