<h3 class="section">Suppliers</h3>
<p>The <dfn>supplier</dfn> is the source of a font, typically a (digital) type
foundry.
<p>You should use the supplier letter which matches the supplier you
obtained the font from, not the original source; for example, Avant
Garde was designed by Herb Lubalin for ITC, but Adobe also sells it.
The name of the font that you get from Adobe should start with <code>p</code>.
This is because font resellers typically make modifications to the
original design.
<p>Notes on specific suppliers:
<dl>
<dt><code>f</code>
<dd>For fonts that are distributed without any specific attribution to the
creator, by individuals, or by small foundries. (Unfortunately, we
don't have enough characters to assign one to every font
supplier in the world.)
<br><dt><code>r</code>
<dd>obsolete; specifies raw fonts, in the old distribution of Dvips. New
fonts should never use <code>r</code>. (The right thing to do is specify the
correct encoding, variant, or whatever the font's characteristics
actually are.)
<br><dt><code>z</code>
<dd>for fonts that just don't fit well into the naming scheme. The <code>z</code>
should be followed by the real supplier letter.
</dl>
<p>Here is the table from the file <code>supplier.map</code>. It is organized
alphabetically by abbreviation. Each line consists of an abbreviation,
directory name, and comment.
