.SH "NAME"
autoinst \- wrapper around the LCDF TypeTools,
for installing and using OpenType fonts in LaTeX.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBautoinst\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fBfontfile(s)\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Eddie Kohler's \fI\s-1LCDF\s0 TypeTools\fR are superb tools for installing
OpenType fonts in LaTeX, but they can be hard to use:
they need many, often long, command lines
and don't generate the \fIfd\fR and \fIsty\fR files LaTeX needs.
\&\fBautoinst\fR simplifies the use of the \fITypeTools\fR for font installation
by generating and executing all commands for \fIotftotfm\fR
and by creating and installing all necessary \fIfd\fR and \fIsty\fR files.
.PP
Given a family of font files (in \fIotf\fR or \fIttf\fR format),
\&\fBautoinst\fR will create several LaTeX font families:
.RS 2
.IP "\-" 3
Four text families (with lining and oldstyle digits, each in both tabular
and proportional variants), all with the following shapes:
.RS 3
.RS 2
.IP "\fIn\fR" 8
.IX Item "n"
Roman (i.e., upright) text
.IP "\fIit\fR, \fIsl\fR" 8
.IX Item "it, sl"
Italic and slanted (sometimes called oblique) text
.IP "\fIsc\fR" 8
.IX Item "sc"
Small caps
.IP "\fIscit\fR, \fIscsl\fR" 8
.IX Item "scit, scsl"
Italic and slanted small caps
.IP "\fIsw\fR" 8
.IX Item "sw"
Swash
.IP "\fInw\fR" 8
.IX Item "nw"
\&\*(L"Upright swash\*(R"
.RE
.RS 2
.RE
.RE
.RS 3
.RE
.IP "\-" 3
For each T1\-encoded text family: a family of TS1\-encoded symbol fonts,
in roman, italic and slanted shapes.
.IP "\-" 3
Families with superiors, inferiors, numerators and denominators,
in roman, italic and slanted shapes.
.IP "\-" 3
Families with \*(L"Titling\*(R" characters; these \*(L"... replace the default glyphs
with corresponding forms designed specifically for titling.
These may be all-capital and/or larger on the body,
and adjusted for viewing at larger sizes\*(R"
(according to the OpenType Specification).
.IP "\-" 3
An ornament family, also in roman, italic and slanted shapes.
.RE
.RS 2
.RE
.PP
Of course, if your fonts don't contain italics, oldstyle digits, small caps
etc., the corresponding shapes and families are not created.
In addition, the creation of most families and shapes can be controlled
by the user (see \*(L"COMMAND-LINE \s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 below).
.PP
These families use the \fIFontPro\fR project's naming scheme:
\&\fI<FontFamily>\-<Suffix>\fR, where \fI<Suffix>\fR is:
.IP "\fI\s-1LF\s0\fR" 8
.IX Item "LF"
proportional (i.e., figures have varying widths) lining figures
.IP "\fI\s-1TLF\s0\fR" 8
.IX Item "TLF"
tabular (i.e., all figures have the same width) lining figures
.IP "\fIOsF\fR" 8
.IX Item "OsF"
proportional oldstyle figures
.IP "\fITOsF\fR" 8
.IX Item "TOsF"
tabular oldstyle figures
.IP "\fISup\fR" 8
.IX Item "Sup"
superior characters (note that most fonts have only an incomplete set of
superior characters: digits, some punctuation and the letters \fIabdeilmnorst\fR;
normal forms are used for other characters)
.IP "\fIInf\fR" 8
.IX Item "Inf"
inferior characters; usually only digits and some punctuation,
normal forms for other characters
.IP "\fITitl\fR" 8
.IX Item "Titl"
Titling characters; see above.
.IP "\fIOrn\fR" 8
.IX Item "Orn"
ornaments
.IP "\fINumr\fR" 8
.IX Item "Numr"
numerators
.IP "\fIDnom\fR" 8
.IX Item "Dnom"
denominators
.PP
The individual fonts are named \fI<FontName>\-<suffix>\-<shape>\-<enc>\fR,
where \fI<suffix>\fR is the same as above (but in lowercase),
\&\fI<shape>\fR is either empty, \*(L"sc\*(R" or \*(L"swash\*(R",
and \fI<enc>\fR is the encoding (also in lowercase).
A typical name in this scheme would be \*(L"FiraSans\-Light\-osf\-sc\-ly1\*(R".
.SS "About the log file"
.IX Subsection "About the log file"
\&\fBautoinst\fR writes some info about what it thinks it's doing to a log file.
By default this is called \fI<fontfamily>.log\fR,
but this choice can be overridden by the user;
see the \fI\-logfile\fR command-line option in \*(L"COMMAND-LINE \s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 below.
If this log file already exists, \fBautoinst\fR will append its data to the end
rather than overwrite it.
Use the \fI\-verbose\fR command-line option to ask for more detailed info.
.SS "A note for MiKTeX users"
.IX Subsection "A note for MiKTeX users"
Automatically installing the fonts into a suitable \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree
(as \fBautoinst\fR tries to do by default) only works for TeX-installations that use
the \fIkpathsea\fR library; with TeX distributions that implement their
own directory searching (such as MiKTeX), \fBautoinst\fR will complain that
it cannot find the \fIkpsewhich\fR program and move all generated files
into a subdirectory \f(CW\*(C`./autoinst_output/\*(C'\fR of the current directory.
If you use such a TeX distribution, you should either move these files
to their correct destinations by hand, or use the \fI\-target\fR option
(see \*(L"COMMAND-LINE \s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 below) to manually specify a \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree.
.PP
Also, some OpenType fonts contain so many kerning pairs that the resulting
\&\fIpl\fR and \fIvpl\fR files are too big for MiKTeX's \fIpltotf\fR and \fIvptovf\fR;
the versions that come with W32TeX (\fIhttp://www.w32tex.org\fR)
and TeXLive (\fIhttp://tug.org/texlive\fR) don't seem to have this problem.
.SS "A note for MacTeX users"
.IX Subsection "A note for MacTeX users"
By default, \fBautoinst\fR will try to install all files into the \f(CW$TEXMFLOCAL\fR tree;
when this directory isn't user-writable, it will use the \f(CW$TEXMFHOME\fR tree instead.
Unfortunately, MacTeX's version of \f(CW\*(C`updmap\-sys\*(C'\fR
(which is called behind the scenes) doesn't search in \f(CW$TEXMFHOME\fR,
and hence MacTeX will not find the new fonts.
.PP
To remedy this, either run \fBautoinst\fR as root (so that it can install
everything into \f(CW$TEXMFLOCAL\fR) or manually run \f(CW\*(C`updmap \-user\*(C'\fR to tell
TeX about the files in \f(CW$TEXMFHOME\fR.
The latter option does, however, have some caveats;
see \fIhttps://tug.org/texlive/scripts\-sys\-user.html\fR.
.SS "Using the fonts in your LaTeX documents"
.IX Subsection "Using the fonts in your LaTeX documents"
\&\fBautoinst\fR generates a style file for using the fonts in LaTeX documents,
named \fI<FontFamily>.sty\fR. This style file also takes care of loading the
\&\fIfontenc\fR and \fItextcomp\fR packages.
To use the fonts, add the command \f(CW\*(C`\eusepackage{\f(CI<FontFamily>\f(CW}\*(C'\fR
to the preamble of your document.
.PP
This style file defines a number of options:
.ie n .IP """lining"", ""oldstyle"", ""tabular"", ""proportional""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWlining\fR, \f(CWoldstyle\fR, \f(CWtabular\fR, \f(CWproportional\fR" 4
.IX Item "lining, oldstyle, tabular, proportional"
Choose which figure style to use.
The defaults are \*(L"oldstyle\*(R" and \*(L"proportional\*(R" (if available).
.ie n .IP """scale=\fI<number>\fP""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWscale=\f(CI<number>\f(CW\fR" 4
.IX Item "scale=<number>"
Scale the font by a factor of \fI<number>\fR.
E.g., to increase the size of the font by 5%, use
\&\f(CW\*(C`\eusepackage[scale=1.05]{\f(CI<FontFamily>\f(CW}\*(C'\fR.
May also be spelled \f(CW\*(C`scaled\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
This option is only available when you have the \fIxkeyval\fR package installed.
.ie n .IP """medium"", ""book"", ""text"", ""regular""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWmedium\fR, \f(CWbook\fR, \f(CWtext\fR, \f(CWregular\fR" 4
.IX Item "medium, book, text, regular"
Select the weight that LaTeX will use as the \*(L"regular\*(R" weight;
the default is \f(CW\*(C`regular\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP """heavy"", ""black"", ""extrabold"", ""demibold"", ""semibold"", ""bold""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWheavy\fR, \f(CWblack\fR, \f(CWextrabold\fR, \f(CWdemibold\fR, \f(CWsemibold\fR, \f(CWbold\fR" 4
.IX Item "heavy, black, extrabold, demibold, semibold, bold"
Select the weight that LaTeX will use as the \*(L"bold\*(R" weight;
the default is \f(CW\*(C`bold\*(C'\fR.
.PP
The previous two groups of options will only work if
you have the \fImweights\fR package installed.
.PP
The style file will also try to load the \fIfontaxes\fR package
(available on \s-1CTAN\s0), which gives easy access to various font shapes and styles.
Using the machinery set up by \fIfontaxes\fR, the generated style file
defines a number of commands (which take the text to be typeset as argument)
and declarations (which don't take arguments, but affect all text up to
the end of the current group) to access titling, superior and inferior
characters:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    DECLARATION     COMMAND         SHORT FORM OF COMMAND
\&
\&    \etlshape        \etexttitling    \etexttl
\&    \esufigures      \etextsuperior   \etextsu
\&    \einfigures      \etextinferior   \etextin
.Ve
.PP
In addition, the \f(CW\*(C`\eswshape\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\etextsw\*(C'\fR commands are redefined to place
swash on \fIfontaxes\fR' secondary shape axis (\fIfontaxes\fR places it on the primary
shape axis) to make them behave properly when nested, so that
\&\f(CW\*(C`\eswshape\eupshape\*(C'\fR will give upright swash.
.PP
There are no commands for accessing the numerator and denominator
fonts; these can be selected using \fIfontaxes\fR' standard commands,
e.g., \f(CW\*(C`\efontfigurestyle{numerator}\eselectfont\*(C'\fR.
.PP
The style file also provides a command \f(CW\*(C`\eornament{\f(CI<number>\f(CW}\*(C'\fR,
where \f(CW\*(C`\f(CI<number>\f(CW\*(C'\fR is a number from 0 to the total number of
ornaments minus one. Ornaments are always typeset using the current family,
series and shape. A list of all ornaments in a font can be created by
running LaTeX on the file \fInfssfont.tex\fR (part of a standard
LaTeX installation) and supplying the name of the ornament font.
.PP
To access ornament glyphs, \fBautoinst\fR creates a font-specific encoding file
\&\fI<FontFamily>_orn.enc\fR,
but only if that file doesn't yet exist in the current directory.
This is a deliberate feature that allows you to provide your own
encoding vector, e.g. if your fonts use non-standard glyph names for ornaments.
.PP
These commands are only generated for existing shapes and number styles;
no commands are generated for shapes and styles that don't exist,
or whose generation was turned off by the user.
Also these commands are built on top of \fIfontaxes\fR, so if that package
cannot be found, you're limited to using the lower-level commands from
standard \s-1NFSS\s0 (\f(CW\*(C`\efontfamily\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`\efontseries\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`\efontshape\*(C'\fR etc.).
.SS "On the choice of text encoding"
.IX Subsection "On the choice of text encoding"
By default, \fBautoinst\fR generates text fonts with \s-1OT1, T1\s0 and \s-1LY1\s0
encodings, and the generated style files use \s-1LY1\s0 as the default text encoding.
\&\s-1LY1\s0 has been chosen over T1 because it has some empty slots to accommodate
the additional ligatures found in many OpenType fonts.
Other encodings can be chosen using the \fI\-encoding\fR option
(see \*(L"COMMAND-LINE \s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 below).
.SS "\s-1NFSS\s0 codes"
.IX Subsection "NFSS codes"
\&\fI\f(BI\s-1CAVEAT\s0\fI: this functionality was almost completely rewritten
in release 2019\-03\-14.
Older versions tried to map all fonts directly to short \s-1NFSS\s0 codes,
but often had to invent non-standard codes in order to deal with the
many different weights and widths that occur in the wild.
Such non-standard \s-1NFSS\s0 codes will no longer
work for fonts installed with newer versions; for those you'll have to either
use the long names or stick to the standard \s-1NFSS\s0 codes.
(This change mainly concerns very light or very heavy weights
and very condensed widths;
for more moderate weights and widths,
existing code will very probably continue to work.)\fR
.PP
LaTeX's New Font Selection System (\s-1NFSS\s0)
identifies fonts by a combination of family,
series (the concatenation of weight and width), shape and size.
\&\fBautoinst\fR parses the font's metadata
(more precisely: the output of \f(CW\*(C`otfinfo \-\-info\*(C'\fR)
to determine these parameters.
When this fails (usually because the font family contains uncommon weights,
widths or shapes),
\&\fBautoinst\fR ends up with different fonts having the \fIsame\fR values
for these font parameters; such fonts cannot be used in \s-1NFSS,\s0
since there's no way distinguish them.
When \fBautoinst\fR detects such a situation, it will print an error message
and abort.
If that happens, either rerun \fBautoinst\fR on a smaller set of fonts,
or add the missing widths, weights and shapes to the tables \f(CW\*(C`NFSS_WIDTH\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`NFSS_WEIGHT\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`NFSS_SHAPE\*(C'\fR, near the top of the source code.
Please also send a bug report (see \s-1AUTHOR\s0 below).
.PP
The mapping of shapes to \s-1NFSS\s0 codes is done using the following table:
.PP
.Vb 5
\&    SHAPE                               CODE
\&    \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-    \-\-\-\-
\&    Roman, Upright                      n
\&    Italic, Cursive, Kursive            it
\&    Oblique, Slant(ed), Incline(d)      sl
.Ve
.PP
(\fIException:\fR Adobe Silentium Pro contains two Roman shapes;
we map the first of these to \*(L"n\*(R", for the second one we (ab)use the \*(L"it\*(R" code
as this family doesn't contain an Italic shape.)
.PP
The mapping of weights and widths to \s-1NFSS\s0 codes is a more complex,
two-step proces.
In the first step, all fonts are assigned a \*(L"series\*(R" name that is simply
the concatenation of its weight and width
(after expanding any abbreviations and converting to lowercase).
A font with \*(L"Cond\*(R" width and \*(L"Ultra\*(R" weight will then be known
as \*(L"ultrablackcondensed\*(R".
.PP
In the second step, \fBautoinst\fR tries to map all combinations of \s-1NFSS\s0 codes
(ul, el, l, sl, m, sb, b, eb and ub for weights;
uc, ec, c, sc, m, sx, x, ex and ux for widths) to actual fonts.
Of course, not all 81 combinations of these \s-1NFSS\s0 weights and widths will map
to existing fonts;
and conversely it may not be possible to assign every existing font
a unique code in a sane way (especially on the weight axis, some font families
offer more choices or finer granularity than \s-1NFSS\s0's codes can handle;
e.g., Fira Sans contains fifteen(!) different weights,
including an additional \*(L"Medium\*(R" weight between Regular and Semibold).
.PP
\&\fBautoinst\fR tries hard to ensure that the most common \s-1NFSS\s0 codes
(and high-level commands such as \f(CW\*(C`\ebfseries\*(C'\fR,
which are built on top of those codes) will \*(L"just work\*(R".
.PP
To see exactly which \s-1NFSS\s0 codes map to which fonts, see the log file
(pro tip: run \fBautoinst\fR with the \fI\-dryrun\fR option
to check the chosen mapping beforehand).
The \fI\-nfssweight\fR and \fI\-nfsswidth\fR command-line options can be used
to finetune the mapping between \s-1NFSS\s0 codes and fonts.
.PP
To access specific weights or widths,
one can always use the \f(CW\*(C`\efontseries\*(C'\fR command with the full series name
(i.e., \f(CW\*(C`\efontseries{demibold}\eselectfont\*(C'\fR).
.SH "COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS"
.IX Header "COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS"
\&\fBautoinst\fR tries hard to do The Right Thing (\s-1TM\s0) by default,
so you usually won't really need these options;
but most aspects of its operation can be fine-tuned if you want to.
.PP
You may use either one or two dashes before options,
and option names may be shortened to a unique prefix
(e.g., \fB\-encoding\fR may be abbreviated to \fB\-enc\fR or even \fB\-en\fR,
but \fB\-e\fR is ambiguous (it may mean either \fB\-encoding\fR or \fB\-extra\fR)).
.IP "\fB\-dryrun\fR" 4
.IX Item "-dryrun"
Don't generate output; just parse input fonts and write
a log file saying what it would have done.
.IP "\fB\-logfile\fR=\fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-logfile=filename"
Write log data to \fIfilename\fR instead of the default \fI<fontfamily>.log\fR.
If the file already exist, \fBautoinst\fR appends to it;
it doesn't overwrite an existing file.
.IP "\fB\-verbose\fR" 4
.IX Item "-verbose"
Add more details to the log file. Repeat this option for even more info.
.IP "\fB\-encoding\fR=\fIencoding[,encoding]\fR" 4
.IX Item "-encoding=encoding[,encoding]"
Generate the specified encoding(s) for the text fonts.
Multiple encodings may be specified as a comma-separated list:
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-encoding=OT1,T1,LY1\*(C'\fR (without spaces!).
The style file passes these to \fIfontenc\fR in the specified order,
so the \fIlast\fR one will become the default text encoding of your document.
.Sp
The default choice of encodings is \*(L"\s-1OT1,T1,LY1\*(R".\s0
For each encoding, a file \fI<encoding>.enc\fR (in all \fIlowercase\fR!)
should be somewhere where \fIotftotfm\fR can find it. Suitable encoding files
for \s-1OT1, T1/TS1, LY1, LGR\s0 and T2A/B/C come with \fBautoinst\fR. (These files are
called \fIfontools_ot1.enc\fR etc. to avoid name clashes with other packages;
the \*(L"fontools_\*(R" prefix may be omitted.)
.IP "\fB\-ts1\fR / \fB\-nots1\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ts1 / -nots1"
Control the creation of TS1\-encoded fonts. The default is \fB\-ts1\fR
if the text encodings (see \fI\-encoding\fR above) include T1,
\&\fB\-nots1\fR otherwise.
.IP "\fB\-serif\fR, \fB\-sanserif\fR, \fB\-typewriter\fR" 4
.IX Item "-serif, -sanserif, -typewriter"
Install the font as a serif, sanserif or typewriter font, respectively.
This changes how you access the font in LaTeX: with \f(CW\*(C`\ermfamily\*(C'\fR/\f(CW\*(C`\etextrm\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`\esffamily\*(C'\fR/\f(CW\*(C`\etextsf\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`\ettfamily\*(C'\fR/\f(CW\*(C`\etexttt\*(C'\fR.
The generated style file redefines \f(CW\*(C`\efamilydefault\*(C'\fR,
so including it will still make this font the default text font.
.IP "\fB\-lining\fR / \fB\-nolining\fR" 4
.IX Item "-lining / -nolining"
Control the creation of fonts with lining figures. The default is
\&\fB\-lining\fR.
.IP "\fB\-oldstyle\fR / \fB\-nooldstyle\fR" 4
.IX Item "-oldstyle / -nooldstyle"
Control the creation of fonts with oldstyle figures. The default is
\&\fB\-oldstyle\fR.
.IP "\fB\-proportional\fR / \fB\-noproportional\fR" 4
.IX Item "-proportional / -noproportional"
Control the creation of fonts with proportional figures. The default is
\&\fB\-proportional\fR.
.IP "\fB\-tabular\fR / \fB\-notabular\fR" 4
.IX Item "-tabular / -notabular"
Control the creation of fonts with tabular figures. The default is
\&\fB\-tabular\fR.
.IP "\fB\-smallcaps\fR / \fB\-nosmallcaps\fR" 4
.IX Item "-smallcaps / -nosmallcaps"
Control the creation of small caps fonts. The default is
\&\fB\-smallcaps\fR.
.IP "\fB\-swash\fR / \fB\-noswash\fR" 4
.IX Item "-swash / -noswash"
Control the creation of swash fonts. The default is \fB\-swash\fR.
.IP "\fB\-titling\fR / \fB\-notitling\fR" 4
.IX Item "-titling / -notitling"
Control the creation of titling families. The default is \fB\-titling\fR.
.IP "\fB\-superiors\fR / \fB\-nosuperiors\fR" 4
.IX Item "-superiors / -nosuperiors"
Control the creation of fonts with superior characters.
The default is \fB\-superiors\fR.
.IP "\fB\-inferiors\fR=[ \fBnone\fR | \fBauto\fR | \fBsubs\fR | \fBsinf\fR | \fBdnom\fR ]" 4
.IX Item "-inferiors=[ none | auto | subs | sinf | dnom ]"
The OpenType standard defines several kinds of digits that might be used
as inferiors or subscripts: \*(L"Subscripts\*(R" (OpenType feature \*(L"subs\*(R"),
\&\*(L"Scientific Inferiors\*(R" (\*(L"sinf\*(R"), and \*(L"Denominators\*(R" (\*(L"dnom\*(R").
This option allows the user to determine which of these styles \fBautoinst\fR
should use for the inferior characters.
Alternatively, the value \*(L"auto\*(R" tells \fBautoinst\fR to use the first value
in the list \*(L"subs\*(R", \*(L"sinf\*(R" or \*(L"dnom\*(R" that is supported by the fonts.
The default value is \*(L"none\*(R".
.Sp
\&\fIIf you specify a style of inferiors that isn't present in the font,
\&\f(BIautoinst\fI will fall back to its default behaviour of not creating fonts
with inferiors at all; it won't try to substitute one of the other styles.\fR
.IP "\fB\-fractions\fR / \fB\-nofractions\fR" 4
.IX Item "-fractions / -nofractions"
Control the creation of fonts with numerators and denominators.
The default is \fB\-nofractions\fR.
.IP "\fB\-ligatures\fR / \fB\-noligatures\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ligatures / -noligatures"
Some fonts create glyphs for the standard f\-ligatures (ff, fi, fl, ffi, ffl),
but don't provide a \*(L"liga\*(R" feature to access these.
This option tells \fBautoinst\fR to add extra \f(CW\*(C`LIGKERN\*(C'\fR rules to
the generated fonts to enable the use of these ligatures.
Since this option is rarely necessary
(most fonts with f\-ligatures do provide the matching \*(L"liga\*(R" feature),
the default is \fB\-noligatures\fR.
.IP "\fB\-defaultlining\fR / \fB\-defaultoldstyle\fR" 4
.IX Item "-defaultlining / -defaultoldstyle"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-defaulttabular\fR / \fB\-defaultproportional\fR" 4
.IX Item "-defaulttabular / -defaultproportional"
.PD
Tell \fBautoinst\fR which figure style is the current font family's default
(i.e., which figures you get when you don't specify any OpenType features).
.Sp
\&\fIDon't use these options unless you are certain you need them!\fR
They are only needed for fonts that don't provide OpenType features
for their default figure style; and even in that case,
\&\fBautoinst\fR's default values (\fB\-defaultlining\fR and \fB\-defaulttabular\fR)
are usually correct.
.IP "\fB\-nofigurekern\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nofigurekern"
Some fonts provide kerning pairs for tabular figures.
This is very probably not what you want
(e.g., numbers in tables won't line up exactly).
This option adds extra \fI \-\-ligkern\fR options
to the commands for \fIotftotfm\fR to suppress such kerns.
Note that this option leads to very long commands (it adds
one hundred \fI \-\-ligkern\fR options), which may cause problems on some systems.
.IP "\fB\-mergewidths\fR / \fB\-nomergewidths\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mergewidths / -nomergewidths"
Some font families put their Condensed, Narrow, Extended etc. widths
in separate families;
this option tells \fBautoinst\fR to merge those separate families into
the main family.
The default is \fB\-mergewidths\fR.
.IP "\fB\-mergesmallcaps\fR / \fB\-nomergesmallcaps\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mergesmallcaps / -nomergesmallcaps"
Even more annoyingly, some font families put their small caps fonts
in a separate family;
this option tells \fBautoinst\fR to merge the small caps fonts into
the main family.
The default is \fB\-mergesmallcaps\fR.
.IP "\fB\-nfssweight\fR=\fIcode\fR=\fIweight\fR, \fB\-nfsswidth\fR=\fIcode\fR=\fIwidth\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nfssweight=code=weight, -nfsswidth=code=width"
Map the \s-1NFSS\s0 code \fIcode\fR to the given weight or width,
overriding the built-in tables.
Each of these options may be given multiple times,
to override more than one \s-1NFSS\s0 code.
Example: to map the \*(L"ul\*(R" code to the \*(L"Thin\*(R" weight, use \f(CW\*(C`\-nfssweight=ul=thin\*(C'\fR.
To inhibit the use of the \*(L"ul\*(R" code completely, use \f(CW\*(C`\-nfssweight=ul=\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fB\-extra\fR=\fItext\fR" 4
.IX Item "-extra=text"
Append \fItext\fR as extra options to the command lines for \fIotftotfm\fR.
To prevent \fItext\fR from accidentily being interpreted as options to \fBautoinst\fR,
it should be properly quoted.
.IP "\fB\-manual\fR" 4
.IX Item "-manual"
Manual mode; for users who want to post-process the generated files and commands.
By default, \fBautoinst\fR immediately executes all \fIotftotfm\fR commands
it generates;
in manual mode, these are instead written to a file \fIautoinst.bat\fR.
Furthermore it tells \fIotftotfm\fR to generate human readable (and editable)
\&\fIpl/vpl\fR files instead of the default \fItfm/vf\fR ones,
and to place all generated files in a subdirectory \f(CW\*(C`./autoinst_output/\*(C'\fR
of the current directory, rather than install them into your TeX installation.
.Sp
When using this option, you need to execute the following manual steps after
\&\fBautoinst\fR has finished:
.RS 4
.IP "\fB\-\fR run \fIpltotf\fR and \fIvptovf\fR on the generated \fIpl\fR and \fIvf\fR files, to convert them to \fItfm/vf\fR format;" 2
.IX Item "- run pltotf and vptovf on the generated pl and vf files, to convert them to tfm/vf format;"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\fR move all generated files to a proper \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree, and, if necessary, update the filename database;" 2
.IX Item "- move all generated files to a proper TEXMF tree, and, if necessary, update the filename database;"
.ie n .IP "\fB\-\fR tell TeX about the new \fImap\fR file (usually by running ""updmap"" or similar)." 2
.el .IP "\fB\-\fR tell TeX about the new \fImap\fR file (usually by running \f(CWupdmap\fR or similar)." 2
.IX Item "- tell TeX about the new map file (usually by running updmap or similar)."
.RE
.RS 4
.PD
.Sp
Note that some options (\fI\-target\fR, \fI\-vendor\fR and \fI\-typeface\fR, \fI\-[no]updmap\fR)
are meaningless, and hence ignored, in manual mode.
.RE
.IP "\fB\-target\fR=\fI\s-1DIRECTORY\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-target=DIRECTORY"
Install all generated files into the \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree at \fI\s-1DIRECTORY\s0\fR.
.Sp
By default, \fBautoinst\fR searches the \f(CW$TEXMFLOCAL\fR and \f(CW$TEXMFHOME\fR trees
and installs all files into the first user-writable \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree it finds.
If \fBautoinst\fR cannot find such a user-writable directory
(which shouldn't happen, since \f(CW$TEXMFHOME\fR is supposed to be user-writable)
it will print a warning message and put all files into the subdirectory
\&\f(CW\*(C`./autoinst_output/\*(C'\fR of the current directory.
It's then up to the user to move the generated files to a better location
and update all relevant databases (usually by calling \fItexhash\fR and \fIupdmap\fR).
.IP "\fB\-vendor\fR=\fI\s-1VENDOR\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-vendor=VENDOR"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-typeface\fR=\fI\s-1TYPEFACE\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-typeface=TYPEFACE"
.PD
These options are equivalent to \fIotftotfm\fR's \fI \-\-vendor\fR and \fI \-\-typeface\fR
options: they change the \*(L"vendor\*(R" and \*(L"typeface\*(R" parts of the names of the
subdirectories in the \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree where generated files will be stored.
The default values are \*(L"lcdftools\*(R" and the font's FontFamily name.
.Sp
Note that these options change \fIonly\fR directory names,
not the names of any generated files.
.IP "\fB\-updmap\fR / \fB\-noupdmap\fR" 4
.IX Item "-updmap / -noupdmap"
Control whether or not \fIupdmap\fR is called after the last call to \fIotftotfm\fR.
The default is \fB\-updmap\fR.

.IP "\fI2019\-05\-11\fR" 12
.IX Item "2019-05-11"
Separate small caps families are now also recognised when the family name
ends with \*(L"\s-1SC\*(R"\s0 (previously \fBautoinst\fR only looked for \*(L"SmallCaps\*(R").
.IP "\fI2019\-04\-22\fR" 12

Fixed a bug in the generation of swash shapes.
.IP "\fI2019\-04\-19\fR" 12
.IX Item "2019-04-19"
Fixed a bug that affected \-mergesmallcaps with multiple encodings.
.IP "\fI2019\-04\-16\fR" 12
.IX Item "2019-04-16"
Added the <\-mergesmallcaps> option, to handle cases where
the small caps fonts are in separate font families.
Titling shape is now treated as a separate family instead of a distinct shape;
it is generated only for fonts with the 'titl' feature.
Only add f\-ligatures to fonts when explicitly asked to (<\-fligatures>).
.IP "\fI2019\-04\-11\fR" 12
.IX Item "2019-04-11"
Tried to make the log file more relevant.
Added the \fI\-nfssweight\fR and \fI\-nfsswidth\fR options,
and finetuned the automatic mapping between fonts and \s-1NFSS\s0 codes.
Changed the name of the generated log file to \fI<fontfamily>.log\fR,
and revived the \fI\-logfile\fR option to allow overriding this choice.
Made \fI\-mergewidths\fR the default (instead of \fI\-nomergewidths\fR).
.IP "\fI2019\-04\-01\fR" 12
.IX Item "2019-04-01"
Fine-tuned the decision where to put generated files;
in particular, create \f(CW$TEXMFHOME\fR if it doesn't already exist
and \f(CW$TEXMFLOCAL\fR isn't user-writable.
.Sp
In manual mode, or when we can't find a user-writable \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree,
put all generated files into a subdirectory \f(CW\*(C`./autoinst_output/\*(C'\fR
instead of all over the current working directory.
.Sp
Added \*(L"auto\*(R" value to the \fIinferiors\fR option,
to tell \fBautoinst\fR to use whatever inferior characters are available.
.IP "\fI2019\-03\-14\fR" 12
.IX Item "2019-03-14"
(never released to \s-1CTAN\s0)
.Sp
Overhauled the mapping of fonts (more specifically of weights and widths;
the mapping of shapes didn't change) to \s-1NFSS\s0 codes.
Instead of inventing our own codes to deal with every possible weight
and width out there, we now create \*(L"long\*(R" codes based on the names
in the font metadata.
Then we add \*(L"ssub\*(R" rules to the \fIfd\fR files to map the standard \s-1NFSS\s0 codes
to our fancy names (see the section \fB\s-1NFSS\s0 codes\fR;
based on discussions with Frank Mittelbach and Bob Tennent).
.IP "\fI2018\-08\-10\fR" 12
