Re[2]: [MiKTeX] pifonts

[<aeb...@in...>]

Hello Hans F. Nordhaug,

thank you very much for your answer, but it did not work.
This is a minimal example (as you usually ask):


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pifont}

\begin{document}


\Pisymbol{pzd}{51} This is an example!


\end{document}  



And this is what I get when I run texify:


Errors were reported during the execution of texify.exe.
*** WinEdt captured the following error file:

[1makepk: "pzdr.pk" could not be created.
pzdr: Can't locate a Type 1, TTF, PK, or virtual font file

Not sure how to proceed.  For now this is fatal
Maybe in the future, I'll substitute some other font.

Output file removed.

*** WinEdt captured the following console output:


text.dvi -> text.pdf
Trying to make PK font "pzdr" (at 600 DPI)...
"makemf" --verbose "pzdr"
"ttf2pk" -q -t "pzdr"


And this is from pdflatex:
