<h3>Installing a Type 1 font</h3>
<p/>Once you have a prepared Type 1 font, either direct from CTAN
or the like, or having <a href="FAQ-prept1font.html">‘prepared’ it yourself</a>,
you can get on with installation.
<p/>The procedure is merely an extension of that for packages, etc., so
much of what follows will be familiar:
<ul>
<li> Install the files, in your local <code>texmf</code> tree (the advice
about installing non-standard things applies here, too). The
following list gives reasonable destinations for the various files
related to a font family <<i>fname</i>>:
<pre>
.pfb,
.pfa .../fonts/type1/<foundry>/<fname>
.tfm .../fonts/tfm/<foundry>/<fname>
.vf .../fonts/vf/<foundry>/<fname>
.sty,
.fd .../tex/latex/<fname>
.map .../fonts/map/dvips/<foundry>
</pre>
but if you are lucky, you will be starting from a distribution from
CTAN and there is a corresponding <code>.tds.zip</code> file:
using the TDS-file saves the bother of deciding where to put
your files in the TDS tree.
<li> Regenerate the file indexes (as described in
<a href="FAQ-inst-wlcf.html">package installation</a>).
<li> Update the <i>dvips</i>, PDFTeX and other maps:
<ul>
<li> On any current TeX Live-based system, or a teTeX v3.0
system, execute the command
<blockquote>
<pre>
updmap-sys --enable Map <fname>.map
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
as root. (Do <em>not</em> use plain <i>updmap</i>: it’s a
potent source of confusion, setting up different map sets
for different users.)
<li> On a current MiKTeX system, update the system file
<i>updmap.cfg</i>, using the shell command
<blockquote>
<pre>
initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
adding a line at the end:
<blockquote>
<pre>
Map <fname>.map
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
for each font family <<i>fname</i>> you are adding to the system.
Now generate revised maps with the shell command
<blockquote>
<pre>
initexmf --mkmaps
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
This, and other matters, are described in MiKTeX
<a href="http://docs.miktex.org/manual/advanced.html">“advanced” documentation</a>.
</ul>
</ul>
Both processes (preparing and installing a font) are very well (and
thoroughly) described in Philipp Lehman’s guide to font installation,
which may be found on CTAN.
