Each of -these basic stages -<p/>Many fonts are supplied in (La)TeX ready form: such fonts need no -preparation, and may be <a href="FAQ-instt1font.html">installed immediately</a>. -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 ‘prepare’ 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’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’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’ 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. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=prept1font">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=prept1font</a> -</body> |
