CTAN Update: installfont
by CTAN Announcements 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

On Tue, 14 Sep 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the installfont package. Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With this script you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). It supports font series from light to ultra bold + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.5: - added new switches: * -m, --mapfilename file name of the map file * -O. --origfontname use original font names instead of Karl Berry names - added support for more font series. The script now installs: * light, light italic * regular/medium, regular/medium italic * small caps (regular + bold) * semi bold, semi bold italic * demi, demi italic * bold, bold italic * extra bold, extra bold italic * ultra bold/heavy, ultra bold/heavy italic ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/installfont .
