Hey Vladimir. Were you able to solve your issue? I am having the same problem using the ccfonts package. Basically, the usual text is rendered with vector fonts, but the math fonts are rendered using bitmap fonts.

Making some slow progress on an answer here.

I refreshed MikTeX's FNDB and updated the formats (found in MikTeX options).

This partially solved the problem. The ccfonts package now uses vector fonts for text. But, math is still compiled using pixelated characters. So, somehow, MikTeX is not ...

I looked closely at the log file. And it is clear that pdfTeX is using bitmap fonts (filetype: .pk)

I have a fix (kind of).

If I insert the command
\microtypesetup{expansion=false}
immediately after
\usepackage{microtype}
then I get no error message. I'm not sure exactly what the expansion feature does. But, presumably, I do not want to disable it. In any case, I have a 'hack' solution.

From ...

If it is in any way helpful...here's the log of the error message:

{C:/Users/mattlorig/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/pdftex/config/pdftex.map}
! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts.

\fi \fi

I just ran the update manager and it turns out many of my packages were way out of date (back to 2010...which I guess tells me how old my computer is!)

I'll see if updating the outdated packages helps.

UPDATE: I updated all installed packages. Still no dice unfortunately. I get the same error as ...

My current version of MikTeX is 2.9.

Regarding "metafont", I will admit that I am ignorant on this topic. Do I need to do something special to install metafont? If so, can I do it via MikTek's package manager?

When I used the package ccfonts, I get the following error message:

"pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts"

My code is here:

Thanks very much for taking the time to help me with this Johannes_B.

I typically make plots in Mathematica. And I can save everything as a PDF from now on. I thought it was best practice to save everything as eps, since these are vector-based graphics. But, I guess PDF is as well. So, there ...
