Hi! I need urgent help: I have a ttf font (georgian) which I have to use with (la)tex. I did fontinst latinfamily etc worked everything, only when I want to make dvips: [~/georgia] dvips bla This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2001.06.26:1046' -> bla.ps <texc.pro><8r.enc><texps.pro>. <acadnusx.pfa> Second number not found in Char string of '/FontName' What does this mean??? How to come around? I AM able to view the file if I tell dvips NOT to download the fontfiles (acadnusx.pfa) and tell ghostscript to use the pfa file for the fontname. BUt this way I cannot print to a postscript printer! What I did: ttf2pt1 --afm -e -ladobestd --all-glyphs acadnusx.ttf cp acadnusx.afm xacr8a.afm fontinst .. \input fontinst.sty \latinfamily{xac}{} \bye for i in *.pl ; do pltotf $$i ; done for i in *.vpl; do vptovf $$i ; done latex bla.tex \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \fontfamily{pac}\fontsize{24}{32}\selectfont matias \end{document} dvips bla.dvi psfonts.map: pacr8r AcadNusx "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc <acadnusx.pfa Fontmap: /AcadNusx (acadnusx.pfa); (Fontmap.GS) .runlibfile PLEASE reply by email too!!!
