Summary description: A bash script for installing a Postscript Type1 font family.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this script you can install a Postscript Type1 font family (at least the four
basic cuts + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts) for using
it with LaTeX (MiKTeX). The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal)
or will otherwise expect the *.pfb and *.afm files named in the Karl Berry scheme
(e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). Just adapt the script variables to your fonts and directories.
After running it, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.

New in v1.1:
- added automatic renaming of the fonts by analyzing the afm files

i have installed a version of the faq on the archive. This version,
3.19c, contains a lot of tidying, a few mentions of new packages, but
isn't otherwise a significant change.
the actual list of changed answers may be found in the distribution, as
file CHANGES-3.19c; a ChangeLog file is also present in the
distribution,

----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.2m
- BUGFIX: Changed the default of citerevsdnamedelim which
used to be a slash. Now it is empty, because otherwise
it produced two slashes in some circumstances.
- BUGFIX: In footnote-dw with 'xref=true', the reference to
the first entry did not work if the first citation of a
parent was cited via a child. This is now fixed.
- BUGFIX: In footnote-dw the punctuation of @collection
entries was wrong when using a prenote in conjunction
with 'useeditor=false' or when there was no editor. This
is now fixed.
- The biblatex option 'singletitle' can now be used both
with authortitle-dw and footnote-dw. Using this option, a
work's title is only printed if there is not more than
one work by the author or editor.
- New entry option 'pseudoauthor'. If set to true, the
author is put in brackets. This is useful for e.g.
editions of works whose authors are not named, but are
known. See the documentation for details. The entry
option does only have effect if the global option
'pseudoauthor' is set to 'true'. The default value is
'false'.
