[texhax] LaTeX Help (OS windows, latex with winedt)

[Sébastien ROQUES]

Hi,

I am writing a LaTeX guide using several fonts. But I have a problem...

Indeed I was trying to use Palatino fonts with narrow capitals 
(Helvetica Narrow), espacially phvbo8rn but I got this error message 
when I TeXiFyed:

%============================================================

Loading 'cmr10' instead.
%============================================================

I don't know what to do... In fact I declare before \begin{document} :

%============================================================
\def\mcdefault{m}
\DeclareRobustCommand\mcseries{%
    \fontseries\mcdefault\selectfont
}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textmc}{\mcseries}

\def\bcdefault{bx}
\DeclareRobustCommand\bcseries{%
    \fontseries\bcdefault\selectfont
}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textbc}{\bcseries}
%============================================================

and then, in the document I try to use palatino fonts :

%============================================================
\subsection{Fonte Palatino : le package \texttt{palatino}}

\renewcommand\rmdefault{ppl}
\renewcommand\sfdefault{phv}
\renewcommand\ttdefault{pcr}
\rmfamily

\renewcommand\mcdefault{mc}
\renewcommand\bcdefault{bc}
\rmfamily

Il choisit de l'Helvetica pour le sans-serif. Cependant cette
fonte à la bon goût d'exister dans un nombre impressionnant de
variantes : c'est disponible en \textsf{\textsl{penché}} (pas
d'italique), en \textsf{\textsc{PETITES CAPITALES}}, en
\textmc{\textsf{condensé}}, en \textmc{\textsl{\textsf{condensé
penché}}}, en \textsc{\textmc{\textsf{PETITES CAPITALES
CONDENSÉES}}}, en \textsf{\textbf{gras}}, en
\textsf{\textbf{\textsf{\textsl{gras penché}}}}, en
\textsf{\textsc{\textbf{PETITES CAPITALES GRASSES}}}, en\\
\textbc{\textsf{gras condensé}}, en \textsl{\textbc{\textsf{penché
gras condensé}}}, et en \textsc{\textbc{\textsf{PETITES CAPITALES
GRASSES CONDENSÉES}}}.


% retour à la normale
\renewcommand\rmdefault{cmr}
\renewcommand\sfdefault{cmss}
\renewcommand\ttdefault{cmtt}
\rmfamily
%============================================================


What's wrong?

Could you help me?

I would like to use the following package "eurofont", "europs", 
"eurosym" and "eurosans" but I don't manage to see the euro symbole
of each package... any ideas?

Thanks

S.
