There have been several changes to 8r.enc in the past. Walter took over the maintenance (the file is now part of psnfss) at a time where different versions have been floating around. Have a look at CTAN:macros/latex/required/psnfss/changes.txt > doesn't such a change also relate to the presense of glyphs in the pfb's? Yes and I think that this is the main reason for the changes. E.g. many fonts (including the urw35) now have the Euro, so it was added. Thomas
