I'm running Windows 7 (64bit) and using MiKTeX 2.9. For some reason I
can't correctly install any font using the Package Manager. The
installation of the package works flawlessly, yet when I try to
compile my tex-file, I get errors like these (this time from the
package tgcursor):
Trying to make PK font ec-qcrr at 600 DPI...
Running miktex-makemf.exe...
miktex-makemf: The ec-qcrr source file could not be found.
Running ttf2pk.exe...
miktex-makepk: PK font ec-qcrr could not be created.
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ec-qcrr): Font ec-qcrr at 600 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Thinking it couldn't create the necessary font files since the
packages are installed in the Program Files (x86) directory and I'm
running this from a DOS-window as a normal use, I opened the DOS-
window as Administrator, but still no luck.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
Did you use administrator privileges when installing the packages?
Windows 7 is really frickin' weird about permissions. When installing
from the package manager, it helps to have opened as administrator.
I've also found it sometimes helps to run the file database update as
administrator, AND as non-administrator after installing packages.
Again, not sure if this is your problem, but here's the thread I'm
thinking about:

I did everything as administrator, I'll run the file database update
as non-admin too, and let you know if that helped out.

Probably you have a user pdftex.map. This map is not updated when
you install a package as administrator. Try to run (as user) on a
command line.

Many thanks, Ulrike! That solved my problem!
