If you want to replace the standard skak fonts with the new ones then you have uskak.fd to replace the original one. Copy *.pfb to texmf/fonts/type1 *.tfm to texmf/fonts/tfm *.map to texmf/dvips/config or where your system expect to find them. To use the diagram font with the skak package you have to redefine the first line of the definition \setup@showboard in skak.sty (and this is essential for compiling SkakNew.tex). Maybe in future versions of skak there will be a better interface for selecting chess fonts ... don't blame me for this. > \def\setup@showboard#1{\font\Skak=skak#1% -- < \def\setup@showboard#1{\font\Skak=SkakNew-Diagram at#1pt% All further questions concerning the skak package should go to Torben Hoffmann. Another useful chess tool for LaTeX is pgn2ltx by Dirk B\"achle which will automatically convert PGN files to LaTeX/skak. You will find technical details on my web site http://www.art-satz.de/portfolio/schriften.html although it's in german. If you want extensions to the fonts you can write to me at info@art-satz.de, and I'll think about it ;-) Package contents README.1st this file SkakNew-Diagram.afm Adobe font metrics file used to generate tfm's SkakNew-Diagram.inf font information file SkakNew-Diagram.pfb printer font binary file SkakNew-Diagram.pfm printer font metrics file SkakNew-Diagram.tfm TeX font metrics file SkakNew-DiagramT.afm Adobe font metrics file used to generate tfm's SkakNew-DiagramT.inf font information file SkakNew-DiagramT.pfb printer font binary file SkakNew-DiagramT.pfm printer font metrics file SkakNew-DiagramT.tfm TeX font metrics file SkakNew-Figurine.afm Adobe font metrics file SkakNew-Figurine.inf font information file SkakNew-Figurine.pfb printer font binary file SkakNew-Figurine.pfm printer font metrics file SkakNew-Figurine.tfm TeX font metrics file SkakNew-FigurineBold.afm Adobe font metrics file SkakNew-FigurineBold.inf font information file SkakNew-FigurineBold.pfb printer font binary file SkakNew-FigurineBold.pfm printer font metrics file SkakNew-FigurineBold.tfm TeX font metrics file SkakNew.map font mapping file for pdftex or dvips SkakNew.pdf documentation/installation guide SkakNew.tex documentation/installation guide source uskak.fd font description file used by LaTeX's nfss install.vtex installation instructions for VTeX SkakNew.ali needed by VTeX Please read install.vtex for installation instructions for VTeX.
