In my previous post Generate random numbers with a specific font

I was unable to compile the code given in the discussion because there was an error when compiling which said that

(C:\Users\azetina\Desktop\Test\testrandomnumbers.aux) ){C:/Program Files/MiKTeX
2.9/fonts/enc/dvips/cm-super/cm-super-t1.enc}Trying to make PK font ocr10 at 569 DPI...
Creating ocr10.pk...
Running miktex-mf.exe...
This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (MiKTeX 2.9)



! I can't find file `ocr10'.

When I try the ocr package without the [ocr-a], the file compiles and even with ocr-b it still compiles. So I am interested in knowing how to install the ocr-a font so that i can compile the document.

    Just checking: Did you click Refresh FNDB and Update Formats buttons on Start -> MikTeX 2.9-> Maintenance (admin) -> Options menu? – percusse Jan 22 '12 at 00:12
  • I did all of that but no good results. – azetina Jan 23 '12 at 13:21
  • I have found a solution and it is dependent on the compiler. As mentioned in my other post I was trying to use the ocr-a font but it was not working properly. At the time I was compiling using Texworks and Texmaker and non compiled but when I tried WinEdt it suddenly worked. I don't understand why but it gave the results I was looking for. For other users, I downloaded the fonts from ctan and placed them in the same folder the file to compile was. – azetina Jan 23 '12 at 13:51
  • Thanks for telling us the solution! As the reason is unclear and the problem vanished somehow, I will close the question. – Stefan Kottwitz Jan 23 '12 at 17:24
  • Sure no problem – azetina Jan 23 '12 at 18:59
  • See How to install and use the ocr-a font. – Werner Apr 01 '13 at 18:40
