Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ ifsym characters not displayed in pdf

[benti]

I wondered if anyone had a solution for the following.

Characters from the ifsym package are properly displayed when I set MiKTeX (using TexNicCenter under Windows XP) to output to .dvi and directly to .pdf, but not for the 'Latex --> PS --> PDF' route, in which case they're left blank. I checked the compilation log, and found that dvips is complaining that 'font ifgeo10 not found'. Sounds like a path error, except that everything is in its correct place afaik. Also quite strange: when I compile to .ps, and then use Acrobat Distiller to generate the pdf, the characters show all right.

Anyone has any idea how to solve this problem? I looked around in various forums, and although many people seem to experience this problem, no solution is around yet.

thanks in advance and kind regards,
Niels

It may help if you provide a minimal working example (MWE) with the \listfiles command in the very first line and the log file attached to your next post.

Hey Thorsten,

Thanks. Problem's solved; although the ifsym manual doesn't say it is a requirement, installing the cm-super fonts did the trick.
