Hi, Some fonts have glyoh variants, e.g. latin modern has umlauts versions and alternative copyright symbols and such. The characteristics of those alternatives don't change, so we could pop them in using an special enc file, which is what i do now. However, in order to fully exploit this feature, we need some extension. Say that we use lmr10 two times, one time with the alternatives, and one time as-is. We need: - two tfm files (the same but a different name) - two mapping lines - one pfb file However, if we have \pdfsetfontenc\somefont{blabla.enc} we can do with - one tfm files (the same but a different name) - one mapping lines (the original) - one pfb file I can even imagine that we have \pdfsetfontfile\somefont{blabla.pfb} \pdfsetfontname\somefont{FunnyFontName} 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
