It sounds to me like the name of the font is not quite right.  Check
the name of the font file (for example, Fonts/outline/FooBar) against
the name of the font as it is defined in the font file itself (for
example, "/FontName /Foobar def").  These have to match exactly.  Also,
look for the font name in two places inside the file; not just in the
"/FontName Foobar def" but at the end, wherever "definefont" is called.
The second of these is actually the more important one.

Let me know if that doesn't fix it, and I might be able to help
you debug it.
