-<h3>Preparing a Type 1 font</h3>
-<p/>The process of installing a Type 1 font set is rather convoluted, and
-we will deal with it in two chunks: first (in the present answer)
-preparing the font for installation, and second
-<a href="FAQ-instt1font.html">installing a Type 1 font</a>).
-<p/>Many fonts are supplied in (La)TeX ready form: such fonts need no
-preparation, and may be installed immediately.
-<p/>However, if you purchase a font from a Type foundry (either direct or
-via one of the web stores), you are likely to need to &#8216;prepare&#8217; it for
-use with (La)TeX. The rest of this answer discusses this preparation.
-<ul>
-<li> Acquire the font. A very small set of Type 1 fonts is installed
- in most PostScript printers you will encounter. For those few (whose use
- is covered by the basic PSNFSS package), you don&#8217;t need the
- Type 1 font itself, to be able to print using the font.
-<p/> For all the myriad other Type 1 fonts, to be able to print using
- the font you need the Type 1 file itself. Some of these are
- available for free (they&#8217;ve either been donated to the public
- domain, or were developed as part of a free software project), but
- the vast majority are commercial products, requiring you to spend
- real money.
-<li> Acquire the fonts&#8217; AFM files. AFM files contain
- information from the font foundry, about the sizes of the characters
- in the font, and how they fit together. One measure of the quality
- of a font-supplier is that they provide the AFM files by
- default: if the files are not available, you are unlikely to be able
- to use the font with (La)TeX.
-<li> Rename the AFM files and the Type 1 files to match the
- <a href="FAQ-fontname.html">Berry font naming scheme</a>.
-<li> Generate TeX metric files from the AFM files. The
- commonest tool for this task is <i>fontinst</i>; the package
- documentation helps, but other guides are available (see below).
- The simplest possible script to pass to <i>fontinst</i> is:
- <blockquote>
-<pre>
-\latinfamily{xyz}{}
-\bye
-</pre>
- </blockquote><p>
- where <code>xyz</code> is the Berry name of the font family. This
- simple script is adequate for most purposes: its output covers the
- font family in both T1 and OT1 font encodings. Nevertheless,
- with fancier fonts, more elaborate things are possible with
- <i>fontinst</i>: see its documentation for details.
-<p/> <i>Fontinst</i> also generates map files, and LaTeX font
- definition (<code>.fd</code>) files.
-</ul>
-Having traversed this list, you have a set of font files ready for
-installation.
