A simple latex document of mine is attempting to invoke the following, which fails

METAFONT failed for some reason
Sorry, but makepk did not succeed.
The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:
C:\Users\wiese\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\miktex-makepk.log
The referenced log file, C:\Users\wiese\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9\miktex\log\miktex-makepk.log, contains only the following, which isn't anything new

I'm holding out hope that Transcript written on tcit0800.log. might give some more clues to this failure. But where is this file? It's not in my working directory, nor is it in the same directory as the other log file.
