(Author: Alan Hoenig, ajhjj@cunyvm.cuny.edu) +%% +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +If you've ever wanted to set up outline fonts for use by \TeX\ or +\LaTeX, VFinst may be of use to you. At the end of the VFinst +process, you'll be able to typeset with your new fonts, confident that +accents, ligatures, and the like will appear in your document with the +usual \TeX\ conventions. Here are the fonts you get at the end of the +process. + + * For every upright font: you get the upright font, the small + caps font, an oblique font, and an underline font. + * For every italic font, you get the italic font, a small caps + italic, an unslanted italic, and an underline font. + * Additional fonts: You will also get titling (display) + fonts, both upright and italic, and a swash italic font, + if the appropriate raw fonts were present. + +VFinst takes care to use expert fonts to build the small caps fonts, +if these raw fonts are present. You also get test files +for plain TeX and NFSS (LaTeX), to both test the fonts and to provide +examples of how to declare and use each of the fonts in a TeX +document. + +Some Technical Notes: At the end of the VFinst process, you get all +.vf and .tfm files for all fonts, which have been renamed for you +according to the fontname2.1 conventions. All oblique and italic +fonts use the true italic angle for the font. The dvips map file +psfonts.map will have been updated for you. All fonts will have been +placed in the proper area on your hard disk. You may choose original +TeX (ot1) or Cork (t1) encodings for your fonts, which can be +installed according to the TDS (TeX Directory Structure) or +`traditional' standard. All raw fonts follow the 8r TeXBase1Encoding. + +All this and more is expanded upon in the documentation file +vfinst.tex. PLEASE READ THE FILE vfinst.tex BEFORE ENGAGING IN ANY +FONT INSTALLATIONS. + +Please feel free to get in touch with me; my email is +ajhjj@cunyvm.cuny.edu. All comments, bugs, suggestions for +improvement, and criticism cheerfully accepted. + + Alan Hoenig + ajhjj@cunyvm.cuny.edu + + August 1998 + |
