Ahoi! Hans, texfont seems to have a little bug: If one installs TrueType fonts, it complains about missing pfb (I can ignore that), but the map file maps only to pfb, not ttf. My install-font script fixes that, but I suppose it's no problem to fix that in texfont. I didn't try OpenType yet, but guess the same problem. And I'd suggest to let texfont write a sample typescript, as my script does. (Then I could drop it.) BTW: There's now a typescript for Microsoft's standard TT fonts in my collection.

Hi!, which version of texfont are you using? I think 1.8 should handle the ttf extension in the map files better than previous version--in my OpenType explorations, it seemed to me that that was the biggest issue in TrueType support. AFAIK, it should work, except where you have files named both BLAH_.TTF and BLAH___.TTF. I would definitely support the automatic creation of typescripts. adam Henning Hraban Ramm said this at Thu, 4 Sep 2003 19:56:51 +0200:

I'm using 1.8 since it's out, and apparently I wrote my script before and never again installed fonts without it... Sorry for reporting an already fixed bug, Hans! Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
