If you have installed Textures and the Computer Modern PostScript fonts but
now have too many fonts in other applications' font menus, you can hide the
CM/PS fonts from those applications while leaving them visible to Textures,
Adobe Type Manager, and the printing manager. Please read through all of the
following information before performing any of the steps in the procedure.
1) Place the 'CM/PS hidefont metrics' suitcase in your 'TeX fonts' folder;
2) Remove the existing CM/PS screen fonts from your Macintosh;
3) Install the fonts contained in the 'CM/PS Hidden Screen Fonts' suitcase in
the System on your Mac; and
4) Restart your Macintosh.
Be very careful when performing step 2. You must remove **only** the screen
fonts, leaving the PostScript printer fonts exactly where they are. With most
System 7.1 installations, this consists of removing the 'CM/PS Screen fonts'
suitcase from your System Folder's Fonts folder. System 6.x and System 7.0
installations are more complicated because you must remove the individual
screen fonts from the System file itself. There are 75 of these, named CMB10
10, CMBSY10 10, etc., all the way down to CMVTT10 10. Again, the PostScript
printer fonts (sometimes referred to as 'System Extension') need to remain
installed exactly as they are now.
Once you've completed this procedure, Textures, ATM, your printer driver, and
print spooler will all see the CM/PS fonts. No other applications will, which
leads to a caveat:
Don't do this if you plan to use the CM/PS fonts occasionally with other
applications! No other applications will see the fonts under any
circumstances.
Our thanks to Constantin Kahn at the University of Hannover for suggesting
this solution.
