You may well need to modify the procedure for your own system or +distribution. + +The name "TEXMF" refers to the base of your TeX/Metafont installation tree; +on my system, using /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local seems to work except as +noted. + +* put starfont.sty in TEXMF/tex/latex/local +* put starfont.map in TEXMF/fonts/map/local (I had to create this directory) +* put fstr8x.tfm and fsts8x.tfm in TEXMF/fonts/tfm/local +* put starfont.afm and strfnser.afm in TEXMF/fonts/afm/local +* put starfont.pfb and strfnser.pfb in TEXMF/fonts/type1/local +* put any documentation files you want to keep in TEXMF/doc/latex/starfont +* add a line saying "Map starfont.map" to TEXMF/web2c/updmap.cfg + WARNING: This line has to be added to the updmap.cfg that your updmap + actually reads, and it may be a file you shouldn't edit by hand. On my + system, I found /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg with + a comment at the top explaining that the right way to add lines to it was to + create a new file TEXMF/web2c/updmap-local.cfg containing the new lines, and then + run "tlmgr generate updmap" . Your installation may vary. +* run mktexlsr so TeX can find all these files. This may have to be done as + root (or an administrative user). +* run updmap for the appropriate scope. On my system that means running + "updmap-sys" as root; just running "updmap" , even as root, only updates + the per-user config for the user I'm running it under. + +Matthew Skala +mskala@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca +http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ + +29 September 2010 |
