Newsgroups: comp.text.tex

So, I tried to install this True type font called Papyrus.

I followed this instructions: http://www.pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/latex/no-bs.html

There is however inconsistency on this page. They said you should use ttf2ps1, but then they show examples with ttf2pfa. In any case, I used ttf2ps1:

ttf2ps1 -b papyrus.ttf fpar8a

this created a bunch of files then I said:

latex `kpsewhich fontinst.sty`
* \latinfamily{far}{}\bye

This generated some more files. I did then:

for X in *.pl; do pltotf $X; done
for X in *.vpl; do vptovf $X; done
rm *.vpl *.pl *.mtx

And I added this line to psfonts.map:

fpar8a Papyrus-Regular <8r.enc <fpar8a.pfb

Then I tried this example:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\usefont{T1}{fpa}{m}{n}\selectfont
\huge
Testing a new font \dots the quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dogs
\end{document}

The result was:

...
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/fpa/m/n' undefined
(Font)              using `T1/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 3.
...

So I copyed files to directoryes:

/usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe/fpar8a.afm
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/papyrus/fpar8a.afm
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/papyrus/fpar8a.pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/papyrus/fpar7t.vf
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/papyrus/fpar8c.vf
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/papyrus/fpar8t.vf
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/papyrus/fparc7t.vf
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/papyrus/fparc8t.vf
