compiling ec-fonts-mftraced

[J. Scott Amort]

Hi All,

I am trying to compile ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.8, and am getting the
following error:

Tracing bitmaps... Invoking `gf2pbm -n 0 -o char.pbm ecbx10.7227gf'

Opening pipe  `gf2pbm -n 0 -s ecbx10.7227gf'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mftrace", line 1184, in ?
    trace_font (basename, gf_fontname, metric, glyph_range, encoding,
magnification)
  File "/usr/bin/mftrace", line 636, in trace_font
    success = trace_one ("char.pbm", '(null)--1216699596' %
(gf_fontname, a))
  File "/usr/bin/mftrace", line 355, in trace_one
    status = system (trace_command (pbmfile, ''), 1)
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
make: *** [pfa/ecbx10.pfa] Error 1

Could anyone help me out?

Also, I am experiencing alot of:

/var/cache/fonts/ls-R: Permission denied

errors.  Has anyone successfully compiled ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.8,
perhaps even on a gentoo box?  Thanks for any assistance.

Best,
Scott
