Hello,

I tried to pdflatex the following code:
\documentclass[pdftex,10pt,a4paper]{scrreprt}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\begin{document}
\textit{\textbf{test text}}
\end{document}

but the result was not as expected. When removing the font setting to sfdefault, I get as expected a bold font with italics, but not with the sfdefault. Looking further at the output log I get:

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmss/m/it' in size <10> not available
(Font)              Font shape `OT1/cmss/m/sl' tried instead on input line 4.
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmss/bx/it' undefined
(Font)              using `OT1/cmss/bx/n' instead on input line 4.

which indicates a missing font. I looked at /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cmextra and there seem to be some fonts which are not compiled into the /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cmextra directory as pfb files as it seems. It looks like cmssbxo10.pfb or similar is missing there. As a temporary workaround you could tell me how to properly create and integrate the .pfb file into the system. I have tried to play with mftrace and got some font that looks ok, but couldnt get it recognized properly by pdflatex.

greets

Dennis
