like others before, I tried to get the script alphabet from Ralph Smith's Formal Font to work in MkIV (minimals) and failed. There seems to be only outdated or unclear and unspecific information about where to start with fonts available. Or: there is information everywhere but I can't put it together.
I downloaded a rsfs.zip from [1] containing .mf, .pfb, .afm, .pfm files and a .map file. It seems to be a type1 font.
The manual [2] states, that a script texfont.pl can do install the font. Mojca said [3] on the mailing list that texfont is not the way to go, so I didn't try to go further in that direction.
Do I need .tfm files? If so, how to get them?
You don't need tfm files and you don't need to use texfont.pl.
I put the "rsfs" directory with its subdirs from the .zip to the folder c:\context\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\data\ as Wolfgang suggested [4] and ran "context --generate". I seems as if this did not install the font, but I have no idea. How can I check this?
For mkiv minimals, the following should work: a) Install font as appropriate for your OS. b) Make sure OS font directory containing font pfb file is included in OSFONTDIR c) Update LuaTeX's font info by running mtxrun --script fonts --reload d) Check the list of fonts using mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* At that point you have the font known to LuaTeX. Then you need to set it up in your document; I posted a full example of that a while back, it's at http://pastebin.tlhiv.org/9GeRRcI4 but I haven't put it into the wiki yet. mathew -- URL:http://www.pobox.com/~meta/
