To install the bundle:
o If you want MetaFont sources uncomment the appropriate lines in linearb.ins.
o run: latex linearb.ins, which will generate:
linearb.sty
*.fd files
linearb.map
and possibly linb10.mf
o Move *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them
e.g., .../texmf-local/tex/latex/linearb
o Move *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files to where LaTeX looks for font information
e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/archaic/*.afm
.../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/archaic/*.pfb
.../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/archaic/*.tfm
o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex font maps
If you want the MetaFont version as well:
o Move the *.mf files to, e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/source/public/linearb
o Add a line like the following to the (texmf/fontname/)special.map file:
linb10.mf public linearb
o Refresh the database
(for more information on the above see the FAQ).
o run: (pdf)latex trylinearb for a test of the font
If you want a full manual with all the MetaFont and LaTeX code and commentry,
comment out the \OnlyDescription line in linearb.dtx.
o run: (pdf)latex linearb.dtx
o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist *.idx)
o run: (pdf)latex *.dtx
o Print *.(pdf|dvi) for a hardcopy of the package manual
