Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
With this script you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). It supports font series from light to ultra bold + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.6: - added new switch: -L, --log redirect terminal output of programms to LOG file - added support for small caps font in all supported font series. The script now installs: * light, light italic, light small caps * regular/medium, regular/medium italic, regular/medium small caps * semi bold, semi bold italic, semi bold small caps * demi, demi italic, demi small caps * bold, bold italic, bold small caps * extra bold, extra bold italic, extra bold small caps * ultra bold/heavy, ultra bold/heavy italic, ultra bold/heavy small caps feature requests by: Kurt Lidwin
