-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label usepsfont</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Using PostScript fonts with TeX</h3>
-<p/>In order to use PostScript fonts, TeX needs
-<em>metric</em> (called TFM) files. Several sets of metrics are
-available from the archives; for mechanisms for generating new ones,
-see <a href="FAQ-metrics.html">metrics for PostScript fonts</a>. You
-also need the fonts themselves; PostScript printers come with a set of
-fonts built in, but to extend your repertoire you almost invariably
-need to buy from one of the many commercial font vendors (see, for
-example, <a href="FAQ-psfchoice.html">&ldquo;choice of fonts&rdquo;</a>).
-<p/>If you use LaTeX2e, the best way to get PostScript fonts into your
-document is to use the PSNFSS package maintained by Walter
-Schmidt. The LaTeX3 project team declare that PSNFSS is
-&ldquo;required&rdquo;, and bug reports may be submitted via the
-<a href="FAQ-latexbug.html">LaTeX bugs system</a>.
-PSNFSS gives you a set of packages for changing the default
-roman, sans-serif and typewriter fonts; <em>e.g</em>., the
-<i>mathptmx</i> package will set up <i>Times</i>
-<i>Roman</i> as the main text font (and introduces mechanisms to
-typeset mathematics using <i>Times</i> and various more-or-less
-matching fonts), while package <i>avant</i> changes the sans-serif
-family to <i>AvantGarde</i>, and <i>courier</i> changes the
-typewriter font to <i>Courier</i>. To go with these
-packages, you need the font metric files
-and font description (<i>.fd</i>) files for each font family you
-want to use. For convenience,
-metrics for the &lsquo;common 35&rsquo; PostScript fonts found in most PostScript printers
-are provided with PSNFSS, packaged as the &ldquo;Laserwriter set&rdquo;.
-<p/>For older versions of LaTeX there are various schemes, of which the
-simplest to use is probably the PSLaTeX macros distributed with
-<i>dvips</i>.
-<p/>For Plain TeX, you load whatever fonts you like; if the encoding of
-the fonts is not the same as Computer Modern it will be up to you to
-redefine various macros and accents, or you can use the font
-re-encoding mechanisms available in many drivers and in
-<i>ps2pk</i> and <i>afm2tfm</i>.
-<p/>Victor Eijkhout&rsquo;s <a href="FAQ-lollipop.html">Lollipop package</a>
-supports declaration of font families and styles in a similar way to
-LaTeX&rsquo;s NFSS, and so is easy to use with PostScript fonts.
-<p/>Some common problems encountered are discussed elsewhere
-(see <a href="FAQ-psfontprob.html">problems with PS fonts</a>).
