+<h3>Installing a PostScript printer built-in font</h3>
+<p/>There is a &ldquo;standard&rdquo; set of fonts that has appeared in every PostScript
+printer since the second generation of the type. These fonts
+(8 families of four text fonts each, and three special-purpose fonts)
+are of course widely used, because of their simple availability. The
+set consists of:
+<ul>
+<li> <i>Times</i> family (4 fonts)
+<li> <i>Palatino</i> family (4 fonts)
+<li> <i>New</i> <i>Century</i> <i>Schoolbook</i> family (4 fonts)
+<li> <i>Bookman</i> family (4 fonts)
+<li> <i>Helvetica</i> family (4 fonts)
+<li> <i>Avant</i> <i>Garde</i> (4 fonts)
+<li> <i>Courier</i> family (4 fonts)
+<li> <i>Utopia</i> family (4 fonts)
+<li> Zapf <i>Chancery</i> (1 font)
+<li> Zapf <i>Dingbats</i> (1 font)
+<li> <i>Symbol</i> (1 font)
+</ul>
+All these fonts are supported, for LaTeX users, by the
+<i>psnfss</i> set of metrics and support files in the file
+<i>lw35nfss.zip</i> on CTAN. Almost any remotely modern TeX
+system will have some version of <i>psnfss</i> installed, but
+users should note that the most recent version has much improved
+coverage of maths with <i>Times</i> (see package
+<i>mathptmx</i>) and with <i>Palatino</i> (see package
+<i>mathpazo</i>, as well as a more reliable set of font metrics.
+<p/>The archive <i>lw35nfss.zip</i> is laid out according to the
+TDS, so in principle, installation consists simply of
+&ldquo;unzipping&rdquo; the file at the root of a <i>texmf</i> tree.
+<p/>Documentation of the <i>psnfss</i> bundle is provided in
+<i>psnfss2e.pdf</i> in the distribution.
