Did anyone get Scriptina to install? The pltotf step in texfont still

hangs.

I did using fontinst. If you (or anyone else) wish i can send an archive containing all necessary files (VFs,TFMs,MAP,typescript,FDs for LaTeX,...). It requires the original PC-Type1 font of Scriptina. The Sciptina-Alternates is not covered, since the AFM glyph-names seem to be wrong.

Right. I noticed the glyph-name problem with the majority of the free type1 fonts out there. I suppose it's to enable normal keyboard access of the alternates.

no, the alternates include some alternate glyphs and lingatures, some of them not found in any common TeX-encoding, i.e. pp-lingature. However, without the alternates the font is nice and useful too.

Anyway, I'd be interested in the archive of support files.

will send them off-list Jens
