Fonts
Font files shall be stored in separate directories, segregated by file
type, font supplier, and typeface name. |PK| and |GF| files
need additional structure, as detailed in the next section.
- type
- is the type of font file. The TDS
reserves the following type names:
As usual, any of these directories may be omitted at a site not needing
them (|gf| is a particularly likely candidate for omission).
- supplier
- is a name identifying font source
(examples: |adobe|, |ams|, |public|). The TDS
reserves the following supplier names:
- |ams|, for the fonts distributed by the American
Mathematical Society in the AMS-fonts collection.
- |local|, for local additions. See Section 2.3.
- |public|, for freely redistributable fonts where the supplier
neither (1) requested their own directory (as with, e.g., |ams|),
nor (2) made a great number of fonts (e.g., |adobe|). It does not
contain all extant freely distributable fonts, nor are all files therein
necessarily strictly public domain.
- |tmp|, for dynamically-generated fonts, as is traditional on
some systems. It may be omitted on systems which do not need it (like
all other directories in the TDS).
- typeface
- is the name of a typeface family
(examples: |cm|, |euler|, |times|). The TDS
reserves the following typeface names:
- |cm| (within |public|), for the 75 fonts defined in
Computers and Typesetting, Volume E.
- |latex| (within |public|), for those fonts distributed
with LATEX in the base distribution.
- |local|, for local additions. See Section 2.3.
Some concrete examples:
For complete supplier and typeface name lists, consult
Filenames for TEX fonts (see Appendix D).
