mathbb font at size 11 (TFM file not found)

Post by mathfeel »

I use two computers. A Gentoo Linux one with texlive-2008 and an Ubuntu one with texlive-2007.

In the Ubuntu computer only, latex with package mathbbol or bbold fails if the font size is set at 11:

Code: Select all

! Emergency stop.
<*> ...=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input bbold11
                                                  
Output written on bbold11.2602gf (36 characters, 6428 bytes).
Transcript written on bbold11.log.
mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input bbold11' failed.

No pages of output.
The same file would compile successfully if I set the font size to 10. The error makes sense in that there is no bbold11.tfm file but bbold10.tfm and bbol12.tfm. On the Gentoo one, the same file compiles. I checked out CTAN and none of the package file has been changed since as late as 2002. Something else must have changed. Does anyone know?
