+With this script (installfont for MiKTeX; installfont-tl for
+TeXLive), you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1,
+Truetype, Opentype). It supports font series from light to
+ultra bold + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert
+fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal)
+or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in
+Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme
+(e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should
+have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.
+
+For this month's (07/2013) free font on www.freefont.de,
+simply run
