Re: [MiKTeX] product integral symbol

[martin h. <mar...@ho...>]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to Hans Nordhaug and to Pr. Cornelius Noack for their messages.

I carefully made modifications to my local updmap.cfg (writing Map 
prodint.map in it, not proding.map) as indicated by Hans Nordhaug  and 
refreshed the File Data Base but I am still not getting the product integral 
symbol. The symbol does not appear in the dvi file. The subscript of the 
symbol does appear though.

In Yap, File -> Document Properties, I get "prodint >>> Not loadable

Making PK font:
C:\PROGRA~1\texmf\miktex\bin\makepk.exe --verbose prodint 600 600 
magstep(0.0) ljfour
Trying to make Pk font prodint (600 DPI)...
makemf --verbose prodint
makepk: prodint.pk could not be made.

Loading 'cmr10' instead."

I also saw an error message saying that Latex was not finding the metrics 
file. I checked to see that the metrics file is at the correct address.

When I obtain the symbol, I will gladly indicate installation instructions 
to Pr. Gill for other users.

Regards
