<h3 class="section">2.1 Suppliers</h3>

<a name="index-suppliers"></a>
<a name="index-foundries"></a>
<a name="index-type-foundries"></a>

<p>The <em>supplier</em> is the source of a font, typically a (digital) type
foundry.
</p>
<a name="index-Avant-Garde"></a>
<a name="index-Lubalin_002c-Herb"></a>
<p>You should use the supplier letter which matches the supplier you
obtained the font from, not the original source; for example, Avant
Garde was designed by Herb Lubalin for ITC, but Adobe also sells it.
The name of the font that you get from Adobe should start with &lsquo;<samp>p</samp>&rsquo;.
This is because font resellers typically make modifications to the
original design.
</p>
<p>Notes on specific suppliers:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>f</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><a name="index-individual-font-designers"></a>
<a name="index-small-foundries"></a>
<a name="index-attribution-of-fonts_002c-missing"></a>
<a name="index-unattributed-fonts"></a>
<p>For fonts that are distributed without any specific attribution to the
creator, by individuals, or by small foundries.  (Unfortunately, we
don&rsquo;t have enough characters to assign one to every font
supplier in the world.)
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>r</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><a name="index-raw-fonts"></a>
<p>obsolete; specifies raw fonts, in the old distribution of Dvips.  New
fonts should never use &lsquo;<samp>r</samp>&rsquo;. (The right thing to do is specify the
correct encoding, variant, or whatever the font&rsquo;s characteristics
actually are.)
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>z</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><a name="index-bizarre-font-names"></a>
<a name="index-nonstandard-names_002c-escape-for"></a>
<a name="index-escape-for-nonstandard-names"></a>
<p>for fonts that just don&rsquo;t fit well into the naming scheme.  The &lsquo;<samp>z</samp>&rsquo;
should be followed by the real supplier letter.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<a name="index-supplier_002emap"></a>
<p>Here is the table from the file <samp>supplier.map</samp>.  It is organized
alphabetically by abbreviation.  Each line consists of an abbreviation,
directory name, and comment.
