+<h3>Installing a Type 1 font</h3>
+<p/>Once you have a prepared Type 1 font, either direct from CTAN
+or the like, or having <a href="FAQ-prept1font.html">&lsquo;prepared&rsquo; it yourself</a>,
+you can get on with installation.
+<p/>The procedure is merely an extension of that for packages, etc., so
+much of what follows will be familiar:
+<ul>
+<li> Install the files, in your <code>texmf</code> tree. All the
+ strictures about installing non-standard things apply here: be sure
+ to put the files in the local tree. The list gives reasonable
+ destinations for the various files related to a font family &lt;<i>fname</i>&gt;:
+<pre>
+.pfb,
+.pfa .../fonts/type1/&lt;foundry&gt;/&lt;fname&gt;
+.tfm .../fonts/tfm/&lt;foundry&gt;/&lt;fname&gt;
+.vf .../fonts/vf/&lt;foundry&gt;/&lt;fname&gt;
+.sty,
+.fd .../tex/latex/&lt;fname&gt;
+.map .../fonts/map/dvips/&lt;foundry&gt;
+</pre>
+ but if you are lucky, you will be starting from a distribution from
+ CTAN and can make use of the corresponding
+ <code>.tds.zip</code> file, and not care about how to place your files
+ in the TDS tree.
+<li> Regenerate the file indexes (as described in
+ <a href="FAQ-inst-wlcf.html">package installation</a>).
+<li> Update the <i>dvips</i>, PDFTeX and other maps:
+ <ul>
+ <li> On any current TeX Live-based system, or a teTeX v3.0
+ system, execute the command
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+updmap-sys --enable Map &lt;fname&gt;.map
+</pre>
+ </blockquote><p>
+ as root. (You <em>can</em> use plain <i>updmap</i>, but you
+ will be in danger of creating confusion with different map sets
+ for different users thereby.)
+ <li> On a current MiKTeX system, update the system file
+ <i>updmap.cfg</i>, using the shell command
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
+</pre>
+ </blockquote><p>
+ adding a line at the end:
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+Map &lt;fname&gt;.map
+</pre>
+ </blockquote><p>
+ for each font family &lt;<i>fname</i>&gt; you are adding to the system.
+ Now generate revised maps with the shell command
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+initexmf --mkmaps
+</pre>
+ </blockquote><p>
+ This, and other matters, are described in MiKTeX
+ <a href="http://docs.miktex.org/manual/advanced.html">&rdquo;advanced&rdquo; documentation</a>.
+ </ul>
+</ul>
+Both processes (preparing and installing a font) are very well (and
+thoroughly) described in Philipp Lehman&rsquo;s guide to font installation,
+which may be found on CTAN.
