TeX macros for converting Adobe Font Metric files to TeX metric
|
|
and virtual font format. Fontinst helps mainly with the number
|
|
crunching and shovelling parts of font installation. This means
|
|
in practice that it creates a number of files which give the
|
|
TeX metrics (and related information) for a font family that
|
|
(La)TeX needs to do any typesetting in these fonts. Fontinst
|
|
furthermore makes it easy to create fonts containing glyphs
|
|
from more than one base font, taking advantage of (e.g.)
|
|
"expert" font sets. Fontinst cannot examine files to see if
|
|
they contain any useful information, nor automatically search
|
|
for files or work with binary file formats; those tasks must
|
|
normally be done manually or with the help of some other tool,
|
|
such as the pltotf and vptovf programs.
