.SH "NAME"
autoinst \- wrapper around the LCDF TypeTools,
for installing and using OpenType fonts in LaTeX.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBautoinst\fR \fI\-help\fR
.PP
\&\fBautoinst\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fBfont(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, \fIDnom\fR" 8
.IX Item "Numr, Dnom"
numerators and 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 \fIFiraSans\-Light\-osf\-sc\-ly1\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 loads the \fIfontenc\fR
and \fItextcomp\fR packages, if necessary.
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 has a few options:
.ie n .IP """mainfont""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWmainfont\fR" 4
.IX Item "mainfont"
Redefine \f(CW\*(C`\efamilydefault\*(C'\fR to make this font the main font
for the document.
This is a no-op if the font is installed as a serif font;
but if the font is installed as a sanserif or typewriter font,
this option saves you from having to redefine \f(CW\*(C`\efamilydefault\*(C'\fR
yourself.
.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"", ""scale=MatchLowercase""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWscale=\f(CI<number>\f(CW\fR, \f(CWscale=MatchLowercase\fR" 4
.IX Item "scale=<number>, scale=MatchLowercase"
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.
The special value \f(CW\*(C`MatchLowercase\*(C'\fR may be used to scale the font
so that its x\-height matches that of the current main font
(which is usually Computer Modern Roman, unless you have loaded
another font package before this one).
The name \f(CW\*(C`scaled\*(C'\fR may be used as a synonym for \f(CW\*(C`scale\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP """medium"", ""book"", ""text"", ""normal"", ""regular""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWmedium\fR, \f(CWbook\fR, \f(CWtext\fR, \f(CWnormal\fR, \f(CWregular\fR" 4
.IX Item "medium, book, text, normal, regular"
Select the weight that LaTeX will use as the \*(L"regular\*(R" weight.
.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.
.PP
The last two groups of options will only work if
you have the \fImweights\fR package installed.
The default here is not to change LaTeX's default,
i.e. use the \*(L"m\*(R" and \*(L"b\*(R" weights.
.PP
The style file will also try to load the \fIfontaxes\fR package
(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
\&    \esupfigures     \etextsuperior   \etextsup, \etextsu
\&    \einffigures     \etextinferior   \etextinf, \etextin
.Ve
.PP
In addition, the existing \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
These commands are only generated for existing shapes and number styles;
no commands are generated for shapes and styles that are missing from
your fonts.
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.).
.PP
By default, \fBautoinst\fR generates text fonts with \s-1OT1, LY1\s0 and T1
encodings, and the generated style files use T1 as the default text encoding.
Other encodings can be chosen using the \fI\-encoding\fR option
(see \*(L"COMMAND-LINE \s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 below).
.SS "Maths"
.IX Subsection "Maths"
This is an experimental feature; \fB\s-1USE AT YOUR OWN RISK\s0!\fR
Test the results thoroughly before using them in real documents,
and be warned that future versions of \fBautoinst\fR may introduce
incompatible changes.
.PP
The \fI\-math\fR option tells \fBautoinst\fR to generate basic math fonts.
When enabled, the generated style file defines a few extra options
to access these math fonts:
.ie n .IP """math""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWmath\fR" 4
.IX Item "math"
Use these fonts for the maths in your document.
.ie n .IP """mathlining"", ""matholdstyle""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWmathlining\fR, \f(CWmatholdstyle\fR" 4
.IX Item "mathlining, matholdstyle"
Choose which figure style to use in maths.
The default is \*(L"mathlining\*(R".
.ie n .IP """mathcal""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWmathcal\fR" 4
.IX Item "mathcal"
Use the swash characters from your fonts as the \f(CW\*(C`\emathcal\*(C'\fR alphabet.
(This option will only exist if your fonts actually contain swash characters,
plus a \f(CW\*(C`swsh\*(C'\fR feature to access them).
.ie n .IP """nomathgreek""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWnomathgreek\fR" 4
.IX Item "nomathgreek"
Don't redeclare greek letters in math.
.ie n .IP """math\-style=\fI<style>\fP""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWmath\-style=\f(CI<style>\f(CW\fR" 4
.IX Item "math-style=<style>"
Choose the \*(L"math style\*(R" to use.
With \f(CW\*(C`math\-style=ISO\*(C'\fR, all latin and greek letters in math are italic;
with \f(CW\*(C`math\-style=TeX\*(C'\fR (the default), uppercase greek is upright;
with \f(CW\*(C`math\-style=french\*(C'\fR, all greek as well as uppercase latin is upright;
and with \f(CW\*(C`math\-style=upright\*(C'\fR all letters are upright.
.PP
Note that this \f(CW\*(C`math\*(C'\fR option only affects digits, latin and greek letters,
plus a few basic punctuation characters; all other mathematical symbols,
operators, delimiters etc. are left as they were before.
If you don't want to use TeX's default versions of those symbols,
load another math package (such as \fImathdesign\fR or \fInewtxmath\fR)
before loading the \fBautoinst\fR\-generated style file.
.PP
Finally, note that \fBautoinst\fR doesn't check if your fonts actually contains
all of the required characters;
it just assumes that they do and sets up the style file accordingly.
Even if your fonts contain greek, characters such as \f(CW\*(C`\evarepsilon\*(C'\fR
may be missing.
You may also find that some glyphs \fIare\fR present in your fonts,
but don't work well in equations or don't match with other symbols;
edit the generated style file to remove the declarations of
these offending characters.
Once again: test the results before using them!
If the characters themselves are fine but spaced too tightly,
you may try increasing the side bearings in math fonts with
the \fI\-mathspacing\fR option (see below), e.g. \f(CW\*(C`\-mathspacing=50\*(C'\fR.
.SS "\s-1NFSS\s0 codes"
.IX Subsection "NFSS codes"
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 to determine these parameters.
When this fails (usually because the font family contains uncommon weights,
widths or shapes),
\&\fBautoinst\fR ends up with multiple fonts having the same 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@WIDTH\fR,
\&\f(CW@WEIGHT\fR and \f(CW%SHAPE\fR in 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                              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 \f(CW\*(C`n\*(C'\fR, for the second one we (ab)use the \f(CW\*(C`it\*(C'\fR code
as this family doesn't contain an Italic shape.)
.PP
For weights and widths, \fBautoinst\fR tries to the standard \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)
as much as possible.
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 for the weights,
some font families offer more variants than \s-1NFSS\s0's codes can handle;
e.g., Fira Sans contains fifteen different weights!).
Therefore every font is also assigned a \*(L"series\*(R" name that is
the concatenation of its weight and width,
after expanding any abbreviations and converting to lowercase.
A font of \*(L"Cond\*(R" width and \*(L"Ultra\*(R" weight will then be known
as \*(L"ultrablackcondensed\*(R".
.PP
The exact mapping between fonts and \s-1NFSS\s0 codes can be found
in the generated \fIfd\fR files and in the log file
(you may want to 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).
.SS "Ornaments"
.IX Subsection "Ornaments"
Ornament fonts are regular LY1\-encoded fonts, with a number of
\&\*(L"regular\*(R" characters replaced by ornament glyphs.
The OpenType specification says that fonts should only put their
ornaments in place of the lowercase \s-1ASCII\s0 letters, but some fonts
put them in other positions (such as those of the digits) as well.
.PP
Ornaments can be accessed like \f(CW\*(C`{\eornaments a}\*(C'\fR and
\&\f(CW\*(C`{\eornaments\echar"61}\*(C'\fR, or equivalently
\&\f(CW\*(C`\etextornaments{a}\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\etextornaments{\echar"61}\*(C'\fR.
To see which ornaments a font contains (and at which positions),
run LaTeX on the file \fInfssfont.tex\fR (which is included in any
standard LaTeX installation), supply the name of the ornament font
(i.e., \f(CW\*(C`GaramondLibre\-Regular\-orn\-u\*(C'\fR) and give the command \f(CW\*(C`\etable\ebye\*(C'\fR;
this will create a table of all glyphs in that font.
.PP
Note that versions of \fBautoinst\fR up to 20200428 handled ornaments
differently, and fonts and style files generated by those versions
are not compatible with files generated by newer versions.
.SH "WARNINGS AND CAVEATS"
.IX Header "WARNINGS AND CAVEATS"
.SS "OpenType fonts and licensing issues"
.IX Subsection "OpenType fonts and licensing issues"
Since \fIpdfTeX\fR cannot subset otf-flavoured OpenType fonts,
\&\fIotftotfm\fR will convert such fonts to Type1 (pfb) format.
However, many fonts (at least those licensed under the \s-1SIL\s0 Open Font License)
do not allow distributing such converted versions under their original name.
.PP
To meet these licensing requirements, \fBautoinst\fR provides
a \fI\-t1suffix\fR command-line option that appends
a user-defined suffix to the names
(both the filename and the internal font name)
of all generated Type1 fonts; see \*(L"COMMAND-LINE \s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 below.
.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.

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.

By default, \fBautoinst\fR will try to install all generated 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 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.
This latter option does, however, come with some caveats;
see \fIhttps://tug.org/texlive/scripts\-sys\-user.html\fR.
.SH "COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS"

\&\fBautoinst\fR tries hard to do The Right Thing (\s-1TM\s0) by default,
so you usually won't 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)).
.SS "General options"

.SS "Font creation options"
.IX Subsection "Font creation options"
.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
(without spaces!); the default choice of encodings is \f(CW\*(C`OT1,LY1,T1\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
For each encoding argument, \fBautoinst\fR will first check if it is
the filename of an encoding file, and if found it will use that;
otherwise the argument is assumed to be the name of one of
the built-in encodings.
Currently \fBautoinst\fR comes with built-in support for the \s-1OT1, T1/TS1, LY1, LGR,
T2A/B/C\s0 and T3/TS3 encodings.
(These files are called \fIfontools_ot1.enc\fR etc. to avoid name clashes
with other packages; the \fIfontools_\fR 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\-lining\fR/\fB\-nolining\fR" 4
.IX Item "-lining/-nolining"
Control the creation of fonts with lining figures. The default is

.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-noinferiors\fR" 4
.IX Item "-noinferiors"
.PD
The OpenType standard defines several kinds of digits that might be used
as inferiors or subscripts: \*(L"Subscripts\*(R" (OpenType feature \f(CW\*(C`subs\*(C'\fR),
\&\*(L"Scientific Inferiors\*(R" (\f(CW\*(C`sinf\*(C'\fR), and \*(L"Denominators\*(R" (\f(CW\*(C`dnom\*(C'\fR).
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 \f(CW\*(C`sinf\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`subs\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`dnom\*(C'\fR that is supported by the font.
Saying just \fB\-inferiors\fR is equivalent to \fB\-inferiors=auto\fR;
otherwise the default is \fB\-noinferiors\fR.
.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 contain glyphs for the standard f\-ligatures (ff, fi, fl, ffi, ffl),
but don't provide a \f(CW\*(C`liga\*(C'\fR 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.
The default is \fB\-ligatures\fR, except for typewriter fonts.
.Sp
Specify \fB\-noligatures\fR to disable generation of ligatures even for fonts
that do contain a \f(CW\*(C`liga\*(C'\fR feature.
.IP "\fB\-ornaments\fR/\fB\-noornaments\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ornaments/-noornaments"
Control the creation of ornament fonts. The default is \fB\-ornaments\fR.
.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.
.Sp
Installing the font as a typewriter font will cause two further changes:
it will \- by default \- turn off the use of f\-ligatures
(though this can be overridden with the \fI\-ligatures\fR option),
and it will disable hyphenation for this font.
This latter effect cannot be re-enabled in \fBautoinst\fR;
if you want typewriter text to be hyphenated, use the \fIhyphenat\fR package.
.Sp
If none of these options is specified, \fBautoinst\fR tries to guess:
if the font's filename contains the string \*(L"mono\*(R"
or if the field \f(CW\*(C`isFixedPitch\*(C'\fR in the font's \f(CW\*(C`post\*(C'\fR table is True,
it will select \fB\-typewriter\fR;
else if the filename contains \*(L"sans\*(R" it will select \fB\-sanserif\fR;
otherwise it will opt for \fB\-serif\fR.
.IP "\fB\-math\fR" 4
.IX Item "-math"
Tells \fBautoinst\fR to create basic math fonts (see above).
.IP "\fB\-mathspacing\fR=\fIamount\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mathspacing=amount"
Letterspace each character in the math fonts by \fIamount\fR units,
where 1000 units equal one em.
In my opinion, many text fonts benefit from letterspacing by 50 to 100 units
when used in maths; some fonts need even more. Use your own judgement!
.SS "Output options"
.IX Subsection "Output options"
.IP "\fB\-t1suffix\fR [ = \fI\s-1SUFFIX\s0\fR ]" 4
.IX Item "-t1suffix [ = SUFFIX ]"
Tell \fBautoinst\fR to modify the font names of all generated Type1\-fonts,
by adding \fI\s-1SUFFIX\s0\fR to the family name.
If you use this option without specifying a \fI\s-1SUFFIX\s0\fR value,
\&\fBautoinst\fR will use the value \*(L"\s-1PS\*(R".\s0
The default behaviour when this option is not given
is to not modify font names at all.
.Sp
See also \*(L"OpenType fonts and licensing issues\*(R" in \*(L"\s-1WARNINGS AND CAVEATS\*(R"\s0 above.
.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.
These options change \fIonly\fR directory names,
not the names of any generated files.
.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 exists, \fBautoinst\fR appends to it;
it doesn't overwrite an existing file.
.SS "Specialist options"

.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\-nfssweight\fR=\fIcode\fR=\fIweight\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nfssweight=code=weight"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-nfsswidth\fR=\fIcode\fR=\fIwidth\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nfsswidth=code=width"
.PD
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 \f(CW\*(C`ul\*(C'\fR code to the \*(L"Thin\*(R" weight,
use \f(CW\*(C`\-nfssweight=ul=thin\*(C'\fR.
To inhibit the use of the \f(CW\*(C`ul\*(C'\fR code completely,
use \f(CW\*(C`\-nfssweight=ul=\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fB\-extra\fR=\fIextra options\fR" 4
.IX Item "-extra=extra options"
Pass \fIextra options\fR to the commands for \fIotftotfm\fR.
To prevent \fIextra options\fR from accidentily being interpreted as
options to \fBautoinst\fR, they should be properly quoted.
.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;
hence it is not active by default.

.IX Item "2020-07-29"
Some changes in the generated \fIsty\fR and \fIfd\fR files,
to improve compatibility with the \fImicrotype\fR package.
Made sure that \fIpfb\fR fonts are always generated whenever
the input fonts are in \fIotf\fR format.

.IX Item "2020-05-27"
Added basic (and still somewhat experimental) math support.
Implemented the \f(CW\*(C`scale=MatchLowercase\*(C'\fR option value
in the generated style files.
\&\*(L"Wide\*(R" fonts are mapped to the \f(CW\*(C`sx\*(C'\fR \s-1NFSS\s0 code instead of \f(CW\*(C`x\*(C'\fR,
to cater for League Mono Variable's Wide and Extended widths.
The generated style files now use \f(CW\*(C`\etextsup\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\etextinf\*(C'\fR
instead of the more cryptic \f(CW\*(C`\etextsu\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\etextin\*(C'\fR to access
