If you need a font for some esoteric purpose, it may +be worth <a href="FAQ-findfiles.html">searching CTAN</a> using your purpose +as a search keyword. +<p/>Most new fonts that appear are prepared in some scalable outline form +or other, and a large proportion is distributed under commercial +terms. However, once you have acquired such a font, converting it to +a form usable by your (La)TeX distribution is not (in principle) a +serious problem. +<p/>The answer “<a href="FAQ-psfchoice.html">choice of scalable fonts</a>” discusses +fonts that are configured for general (both textual and mathematical) +use with (La)TeX. The list of such fonts is sufficiently short that +they <em>can</em> all be discussed in one answer here. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>Metafont font list</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/metafont-list">info/metafont-list</a> +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=findfont">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=findfont</a> +</body> |
