--Like a good little TeXer I have always avoided Truetype fonts. But now I have a situation where the customer is requesting it, and has provided the font. So I have tried to follow the instructinns in the pdftex manual as well as those in Texfont Explained manual. First I got apparently clean results but the font looks just like Computer Modern. The only error message I can see is one asking for a pfb file which of course I don't have. Then following an earlier post I tried something like this. The font is a Devangari font, or perhaps more properly a Western font that looks a bit like Devnagari script. Here is my run script: ----------------------------------------------------- ttf2afm -e 8r.enc -o ds_izmir.afm ds_izmir.ttf texfont --en=8r --ve=truetype --co=all --makepath --install cd /usr/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ cat *map >plus.map mv plus.map /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap updmap texhash ----------------------------------------------------------- With this run stream texfont has two complaints: first that it is an unknown vendor and second that it cannot find either a pfa or pfb file. There is a trick to it I am sure, and I am sure I do not know the trick.
