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 ;-)
