You can allow partial installation and apply font splitting together.
To try to minimise confusion when someone is trying to select which
archives to install, it is recommended that you use the following
naming convention:
<Package id><Installation level><Split type>
- <Package id>
- is a code identifying your package.
- <Installation level>
- is a digit indicating the level of
installation. Level 1 should contain the ``core'' fonts, with higher levels
containing other sizes in the font families or, perhaps, more unusual fonts.
- <Split type>
- identifies the font files in the archive.
Here's an example. The BaKoMa archives are named like this:
- BaK1core
- contains the core font files for cmr10.
- Bak1mf
- contains the mf file for cmr10.
- Bak1ps
- contains the Type1 file for cmr10.
- Bak1ro
- contains the RISC OS font files for cmr10.
- Bak2core
- contains the core font files for cmr6 and cmr17.
- Bak2mf
- contains the mf files for cmr6 and cmr17.
- Bak2ps
- contains the Type1 files for cmr6 and cmr17.
- Bak1ro
- contains the RISC OS font files for cmr6 and cmr17.
