But how would a new global encodings file affect the display of a font
with its own font-specific encodings file? That could only happen if
the newly introduced encodings file was in a directory with the same
name as the EFF font.
Another theory: The culprit could be a font converted by RiScript, but
then, that would only by visible while RiScript is running (because
only then, the converted fonts are added to the global font path). So,
Paul, if you always have RiScript running, then check its generated
fonts directory. That would explain the symptoms (and it would also
mean that the issue is not Iyonix-specific).
