Hans et al, Working hard. Reading manuals. I read in the texfont manual that: lucida $ texfont --listing --ve=yandy --co=lucida Should: "this switch will result in a list of metric files of the installed fonts." I get, to list the first few: lucida $ texfont --listing --ve=yandy --co=lucida TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 checking root : TEXMFFONTS checking root : TEXMFLOCAL fontpath : /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/ afm/yandy/lucida lbc : LucidaCalligraphy-Italic lbd : LucidaBright-Demi lbdi : LucidaBright-DemiItalic lbdsc : LucidaBrightSmallcaps-Demi lbh : LucidaHandwriting-Italic lbi : LucidaBright-Italic lbki : LucidaCasual-Italic lbkr : LucidaCasual lbl : LucidaBlackletter lbma : LucidaNewMath-Arrows lbmad : LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi lbmatex : LucidaNewMath-Arrows However, for example, you can see that lbma is not there: lucida $ pwd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/vf/yandy/lucida lucida $ ls texnansi-lbc.vf texnansi-lbrsc.vf texnansi-lsb.vf texnansi-lbd.vf texnansi-lbsl.vf texnansi-lsbi.vf texnansi-lbdi.vf texnansi-lbtb.vf texnansi-lsd.vf texnansi-lbdsc.vf texnansi-lbtbo.vf texnansi-lsdi.vf texnansi-lbh.vf texnansi-lbto.vf texnansi-lsi.vf texnansi-lbi.vf texnansi-lbtr.vf texnansi-lsr.vf texnansi-lbki.vf texnansi-lfd.vf texnansi-lstb.vf texnansi-lbkr.vf texnansi-lfdi.vf texnansi-lstbo.vf texnansi-lbl.vf texnansi-lfi.vf texnansi-lsto.vf texnansi-lbr.vf texnansi-lfr.vf texnansi-lstr.vf This is because when I installed with: sudo texfont --ve=yandy --co=lucida --ma --in I got lots of skippings, all the math, such as: font identifier : LucidaNewMath-Arrows -> math -> skipping use supplied tfm : lbma font identifier : LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi -> math -> skipping use supplied tfm : lbmad Still struggling to figure out what to do about this. Am I interpreting the --listing switch of texfont incorrectly? Signed: Struggling in California. David

just copy them to the tfm path (since they are special it's too tricky to let texfont do that) Hans

Hi all, Recently a number of ConTeXt users (Hans van der Meer, David Arnold, Renaud Aubin, me) is trying to install the YandY lucida bright fonts, including (bold) math. Wouldn't it be nice if this resulted into a (wikifiable) recipe? I started as follows (please correct me if I am taking a wrong path): 1. Put all 141 .afm and .pfb files in one directory (in my case c:/temp) 2. Go to this directory and run texfont --fontroot=c:/tex/texmf-local --ve=yandy --co=luc --ma --in --expert (Or should --expert be omitted? In order to avoid clashes with predefined typescripts based on bh-lucida, I use --co=luc) From a recent discussion with David Arnold on the list I conclude that I now should move lbma.tfm, lbmad.tfm, etc. to the directory c:/tex/texmf-local/fonts/tfm/yandy/luc. But unfortunately I don't have these files. How can I create them? Or should I take the identically named files from Hans's recent (bh-)lucida.zip file? (To be continued) With kind regards, Sytse

these files come with the (formerly) yandy floppies/cd; just take them from the posted zip (i suppose that in a while tug will ship those tfm's) Hans
