Summary description: A bash script for installing a Postscript Type1 font family.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
With this script you can install a Postscript Type1 font family (at least the four basic cuts + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts) for using it with LaTeX (MiKTeX). The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise expect the *.pfb and *.afm files named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). Just adapt the script variables to your fonts and directories. After running it, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.2: - added the options scaled and leading to the created style file to scale the font for better matching with other fonts and to increase the leading between lines
