You can try the first version by +putting the files translate-font.pl and transtabl into one writable +directory in your PATH. Modify the first line of translate-font.pl to match +the location of your Perl interpreter. At first startup you will be +asked for a mountpoint for the CD, enter /cdrom/ or f:\ or the like. +This will be checkpointed in a file called mountpoint. Remove this +file in order to use another mount point. Call translate-font.pl in +either one of the following two ways: + + translate-font.pl PATTERN + +this will scan the font directories for all fonts that match the PATTERN +and output their names (if extractable from the .pfb file). PATTERN +must begin with a letter in [a-z] and may contain wildcards, thus +'amri*' will output the names of the amerigo fonts. Take care to hide +the wildcards from prior shell expansion by using single quotes of +backslashification. + + translate-font.pl PATTERN pfb or + translate-font.pl PATTERN afm + +this will copy any matching font to the current directory, provided +their names are already known in »transtabl«. This file consists of +lines that list the original font name followed by white space +followed by the tex font name (without suffixes). I hope, the names do +not differ from one Corel version to the other. + +You will find the correct tex font name in Karl Berry's fontname files +(CTAN:doc/fontname/). They might not in any case match the names in the +.map files in this distribution, however. + +This tool is not expected to work under DOS at the moment, not even if +you have the head, tail and strings programs installed. This will change +only by your aid. + +Please send me any font translation rules you have added, hints about +bugs and errors to Karsten Tinnefeld <karsten@tinnefeld.com>. + +Please note that corelpak-contrib does not, will not and never has included +any third hand copyrighted material, be it names, strokes, measurements or +whatever. |
