+<h3>Deploying Type 1 fonts</h3>
+<p/>For the LaTeX user trying to use the
+<a href="FAQ-usepsfont.html">PSNFSS</a> package, three questions may arise.
+<p/>First, you have to declare to the DVI driver that you are using
+PostScript fonts; in the case of <i>dvips</i>, this means adding
+lines to the <i>psfonts.map</i> file, so that <i>dvips</i> will know
+where the proper fonts are, and won&rsquo;t try to find PK
+files. If the font isn&rsquo;t built into the printer, you have to acquire
+it (which may mean that you need to purchase the font files).
+<p/>Second, your previewer must know what to do with the fonts: see
+<a href="FAQ-PSpreview.html">previewing type 1 fonts</a>.
+<p/>Third, the stretch and shrink between words is a function of the
+font metric; it is not specified in AFM files, so different converters
+choose different values. The PostScript metrics that come with PSNFSS
+used to produce quite tight setting, but they were revised in mid 1995
+to produce a compromise between American and European practice.
+Sophisticated users may not find even the new the values to their taste, and
+want to override them. Even the casual user may find more
+hyphenation or overfull boxes than Computer Modern produces; but CM
+is extremely generous.
