Re: [NTG-context] what fonts I have in my systems?
Thank you to Tobias Hilbricht for the script. It is exactly what I was looking for. I notice that the command "testfont" is not a command with the backslash "\" Is there any way to create one single file with a \sample page for each font installed in my computer? Ciro =================================================== Dear Ciro, I used the following shell skript, which was one and a half years ago on http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/fonts/fonts.phtml fontdemo.sh ------------- find `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`/fonts/tfm -name '*.tfm' -print | \ sed 's@.*/@@; s@\.tfm$@@' | \ xargs sh -c 'for i in "$@"; do (echo $i; echo \\\sample\\\bye) | \ tex testfont; mv testfont.dvi $i.dvi; echo $i.dvi; done' sh ------------- It gives you one dvi-file per installed font in your TeX-System - that is usually a lot. Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht

testfont refers to the file testfont.tex in the directory texmf/doc/generic/fontinst/test/testfont.tex it is not a command

...echo \\\sample\\\bye)... in the script are commands you have to feed into testfont.tex in order to get a font sample - see documentation. You can use other test files and adapt the script accordingly.
Dear Ciro, I used the following shell skript, which was one and a half years ago on http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/fonts/fonts.phtml
fontdemo.sh
-------------
find `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`/fonts/tfm -name '*.tfm' -print | \ sed 's@.*/@@; s@\.tfm$@@' | \ xargs sh -c 'for i in "$@"; do (echo $i; echo \\\sample\\\bye) | \ tex testfont; mv testfont.dvi $i.dvi; echo $i.dvi; done' sh
