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">“choice of fonts”</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 -“required”, 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 ‘common 35’ PostScript fonts found in most PostScript printers -are provided with PSNFSS, packaged as the “Laserwriter set”. -<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’s <a href="FAQ-lollipop.html">Lollipop package</a> -supports declaration of font families and styles in a similar way to -LaTeX’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>). -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>Metrics for the ‘Laserwriter’ set of 35 fonts</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/psnfss/lw35nfss.zip">macros/latex/required/psnfss/lw35nfss.zip</a> -<dt><tt><i>lollipop</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/lollipop.zip">macros/lollipop</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/lollipop.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/lollipop/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>psnfss</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/psnfss.zip">macros/latex/required/psnfss</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/psnfss.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/psnfss/">browse</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=usepsfont">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=usepsfont</a> -</body> |
