This bundle includes all files required to use the FontFont
Dingbests (*) Type1 fonts (version 004.460) with LaTeX on
the Un*x or PC platform.  It does _not_ include the actual
Type1 font, which can be downloaded for free from
FontFonts's web site.

(*) Indeed, the name of the font family is "Dingbests" with
an "s"; in contrast to what is indicated on the www page.
See also the font family name inside the afm file!

The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant
TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free.  Yet they
may not exactly fit your particular TeX system; please,
consult its documentation, too!  The directory name "texmf"
refers to the root directory of a TDS directory tree.  In
case your TeX systems has more than one directory tree, its
documentation should tell you where to install new files.



In case you have istalled the previous release (2002-06-02)
-----------------------------------------------------------
... of this collection, it must be deleted entirely, before 
the present one can be installed.  Remove the following 
files, as far as they actually exist:

 texmf/fonts/tfm/public/misc/dingbest.tfm
 texmf/tex/latex/misc/udingbest.fd
 texmf/doc/latex/misc/dingbest.pdf
 texmf/dvips/config/dingbest.map 
 texmf/dvips/local/dingbest.map 
 texmf/vtex/config/dingbedst.ali 
 
Remove also the obsolete font files; the font has been 
updated in the meantime:

 texmf/fonts/type1/public/misc/dingbest.pfb
 texmf/fonts/afm/public/misc/dingbest.afm

Remove the font mapping information for the old Dingbests 
fomt from the configuration data for dvips, pdfTeX and/or 
VTeX.



Downloading and installing the Type1 font file
----------------------------------------------
Download the font FF Dingbests in `PC, PostScript' format
via <http://www.fontfont.com/downloads.html>.  You will
receive a ZIP archive named wint1.zip.

Alternatively, the archive can be downloaded immediately:
<http://www.fontfont.com/downloads/ffdingbest/wint1.zip>

Unpack wint1.zip.  in a temporary directory.  The Type1
font, i.e., the file

  Dingbest.pfb

must be moved to the directory

  texmf/fonts/type1/fontfont/dingbests

of your TeX system.  Move the related .afm files accordingly
to:

  texmf/fonts/afm/fontfont/dingbests

Most likely, you will have to create these directories
first.  



Installing the TeX support files from the archive dingbests.zip
---------------------------------------------------------------
Unpack the ZIP archive dingbests.zip in the directory
"texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied
to the appropriate directories.



Updating the filename database
------------------------------
Many TeX systems require manual updating of a "filename
database" after adding of new files.  Please, consult the
documentation of your TeX system!



Configuring your TeX system
---------------------------
The present distribution includes several font map files for
the FontFont InterOffice fonts.  You need to configure your
TeX system so that an appropriate file is actually used.
The required steps depend on the particular TeX system.
Particular sets of instructions are provided below for the
following systems:

  * teTeX
  * VTeX/Free

With other TeX systems such as MikTeX, consult the related
documentation how to install an additional font map file.
The name of the map file to be used for InterOffice is
"dingbests.map".  Two copies of this file reside in the
directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips.

Configuring teTeX
-----------------
Additional font map files (here dingbests.map) are
installed using the shell script "updmap".  With teTeX-2.0
and later (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) execute
the following commands:

  texhash
  updmap --enable Map dingbests.map

With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation
about how to add new map files to the system.

Configuring VTeX/Free
---------------------
Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file
dingbests.ali.  This is usually accomplished by putting an
appropriate record ito each of the configuration files

  texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm
and
  texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm

The name "dingbests.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of
the above-mentioned files:

TYPE1 {
  ...
  dingbests.ali
  }
  
In case you are still using VTeX/Free 7.x (as opposed to 
v8.x), copy the .ali file from texmf/fonts/map/vtex to the
directory texmf/vtex/config.



Using the FF Dingbests font with LaTeX
--------------------------------------
See the file dingbests.pdf, which should have been installed
in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/fontfont of your TeX
system.



Legal notice
------------
The bundle "FontFont Dingbests for LaTeX "is made up from
the files dingbests.txt and dingbests.zip.
