One TFM file is -needed for each font used by TeX, that is for each design (point) -size for each weight for each family; each TFM file serves for all -magnifications of ‘its’ font, so that there are (typically) fewer -TFM files than there are PK files. TeX (LaTeX, etc.) -itself needs only to know about the sizes of characters and their -interactions with each other, but not what characters look like. By -contrast, TFM files are not, in principle, needed by the -DVI driver, which only needs to know about the glyphs that each -character selects, so as to print or display them. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tfm">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tfm</a> -</body> |
