Subject: [cl-pdf-devel] Font "helvetica" not found
Message-ID: <4B207810.6040409@bermita.com>

I have been using cl-pdf on one machine and am trying to compile it on a 
  new machine in a different directory.  When I do, I get the error 
"Error: Font 'helvetica' not found"

This is near the end of chart.lisp but I think the problem has to do 
with the path set in *cl-pdf-base-directory* or *afm-files-directories*. 
Is there something I need to configure? Thanks for any help.

You need to check what values are in those variables and eventually
change them to point to the correct locations.

You also need to load the fonts by calling (load-fonts) though this
should be done automatically when fonts.lisp is loaded.
