Hi,
after my first installation was successful I am trying to install the latest IPA-font from SIL (Charis - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=IPAhome#Charis ).
I followed the instruction from the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_a_TrueType_font,_step_by_step
I downloaded the charis-font I decompressed the package and got following files: ~/Schriftsysteme/IPA $ ls CharisSIL4.100FontDocumentation.pdf CharisSILB.ttf FONTLOG.txt README.txt CharisSIL4.100.zip CharisSILI.ttf OFL-FAQ.txt CharisSILBI.ttf CharisSILR.ttf OFL.txt
Then I entered the sucgested texfont-command:
~/Schriftsysteme/IPA $ texfont --ve=sil --co=charis --makepath --install *.ttf /tmp/tex/texmf-linux/bin/texmfstart:2073: warning: Insecure world writable dir /tmp/tex/texmf-linux/bin, mode 040777
TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004
mktexlsr: Updating /tmp/tex/texmf-fonts/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done. encoding vector : texnansi vendor name : sil source path : . font collection : charis texmf font root : /tmp/tex/texmf-fonts map file name : texnansi-sil-charis.map source path : . processing files : all in pattern CharisSILBI.ttf locating afm files : using pattern ./CharisSILBI.ttf.afm locating afm files : using otf files copying files : afm copying files : pfb copying files : otf processing aborted : no afm files found
--help : show some more info
After this aborted texfont-command I have to run the mktexlsr-comand to rebuild the font-structure - even to get the normal results without using the new font. An example-file is attached to this email - without IPA-signs.
hm, so mktexlsr was aborted cq. ls-r was messed up for some reason? strange
Did I missed a step or is texfont obsolete?
no, but soon you won't need it anymore (xetex supports open type directly as does luatex) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
