- Instructions to install PostScript Font Libraries
- in Your System:
- The following files form this group:
-
- 1) ps_0.fli
- 2) ps_1.fli
- 3) ps_2.fli
- 4) ps_3.fli
- 5) ps_4.fli
- 6) ps_5.fli
- 7) ps_h.fli
- 8) fonttst1.tex , fonttst2.tex
- 10) readme ( this file).
-
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- These library files have been generated from the .pk
- files available in the file
- \pub\archive\fonts\postscript\pk-files\psfonts.zip
-
- These files were converted from UNIX naming convention
- i.e. fontname.(res)pk to DOS naming convention
- i.e. fontname.pk.
-
- This enables a user to use 6 files instead of the numerous
- .pk files.
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) The following 6 files have been created, using the
- betatest version of emtex FONTLIB program.
- ( If you have any problems with the older version
- please contact us at the email address mentioned below)
-
- ps_0.fli,ps_1.fli,ps_2.fli,ps_3.fli,ps_4.fli,ps_5.fli,ps_h.fli.
-
- 2) Move these files into the \texfonts directory where you
- have stored your lj_*.fli files (or other printer type
- library files).
-
- 3) Modify the .cnf (or other appropriate .cnf file that
- you are using) in the \emtex directory. The /pl line is
- to be modified as shown in the sample lj.cnf here. (You
- can copy this file into the \emtex directory if you are
- using laserjet fonts). This is modified to use both the
- laserjet and postscript fonts.( See first arrow line
- in (8) below ). We have worked with p6l.cnf,p6m.cnf,p6h.cnf
- as of now.
-
- 4) Also modify newfonts.sub in the emtex directory with
- the one given here and shown below in (10). Add the line
- /ps=c:\emtex\newfonts.sub
- in your .cnf file. ( This has already been done in the
- lj.cnf file shown here). See second arrow line in (8) below.
-
-
- 5) YOU ARE GOOD TO GO.
-
- 6) EXAMPLES :
- --------
-
- i) FONTTST1.TEX - This gives the available postscript
- fonts that can be used.
- ii) FONTTST2.TEX- This gives postscript fonts at different
- sizes. The sizes shown here are the ones that can exactly
- be simulated.
- Look into them for details. LaTeX them for checking your
- installation.
-
- 7) USAGE :
- -----
- a) Available Fonts:
- ---------------
-
- The available fonts are shown in the file fonttst1.tex.
- The bracketed term shows the short form of these fonts to be used.
-
- b) Point sizes available:
- ---------------------
-
- The point size can be defined by you. Look in the file
- fonttst2.tex for its usage. Fonttst2.dvi shows the size. You
- can use the following point size exactly (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,14,
- 17,20,25). The previewer will however work with any point size
- from 5 to 25, but will display only the above font sizes exactly
- ( since the .pk files have been available only in the above sizes).
- This has been done by using font substitution in the file newfonts.sub.
- See section (10) below for the modifications in newfonts.sub
- These point sizes are exact for 300DPI resolution. For resolutions
- 180x180 DPI and 360x360 DPI appropriate substitutions have been made.
-
- c) Driver prompts for unavailable resolution ?
- -----------------------------------------
-
- In this event the only choice is to specify a resolution closest
- to the ones available ( 150,180,210,240,270,300,329,360,432,518,
- 622,746).
-
- 8) Modifications in the .cnf ( Example here uses lj.cnf). These
- templates are for dvidrv 1.4s. The template for dvidrv 1.4d
- or other versions is slightly different. ( You can rename it
- as ps.cnf and change the batch files suitably ).
-
- % lj.cnf (300x300 DPI using LJ fonts)
- /pd={,$DVIDRVINPUT:}@i
- ======> /pl=$DVIDRVFONTS:{lj_{0,h,1,2,3,4,5a,5b,sli},ps_{0,1,2,3,4,5,h}}
- /pf={,{$DVIDRVFONTS:pixel{.lj,.ps}}\@Rrdpi\}@f{.pk,.pxl}
- /pg={,$DVIDRVGRAPH:}{@Rrdpi\,}@PBf{@Ef,.msp,.pcx,.bmp}
- /r=300
- /rf=300
- /fs=1
- /fm=hplaser
- /fd=2
- ======> /ps=d:\emtex\newfonts.sub
-
- 9) Printing exact fontsizes that are not defined above:
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- However you can print the exact point sizes (other than the ones
- shown above) as you have defined using the utility : DVIPS (to
- create a .ps file from the .dvi file). Use GHOSTSCRIPT to print
- your postscript file.
-
-
- 10) Modifications in NEWFONTS.SUB.
- ----------------------------
-
- The font substitutions are currently working for 300X300 DPI
- printer ( HP laserjet printer ), 360 x 360 DPI printer driver
- and 180 x 180 DPI printer driver. These substitutions have
- been done to work with the following .cnf files ( p6l.cnf ,
- p6m.cnf & p6h.cnf and lj.cnf).
-
- circle* * -> lcircle* *
