CTAN Upload: Font Installation Guide 2.0
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from Philipp Lehman <plehman(a)gmx.net> ----- I've uploaded the file 'fontinstallationguide.tar.gz' to the incoming directory on ftp.dante.de. This tarball includes an update to a file currently installed as: info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf plus some new files which were not included in any of the previous releases. As of this release, the guide will be accompanied by additional resources. Therefore I would like to request a minor path change. If possible, please add the directory: info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide/ and extract the tarball to the newly created directory. (...) ABOUT ----- The Font installation guide discusses the most common scenarios you are likely to encounter when installing Type 1 Postscript fonts. While the individual tools employed in the installation process are documented well, the actual difficulty most users are facing when trying to install new fonts is understanding how to put all the pieces together. This is what this guide is about. CHANGES ------- * Complete revision of the guide for fontinst 1.9 * All examples discussed in the guide now included as separate files * Monolithic Latex source now included as well * Added README file ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested in the directory CTAN:info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
