NAME corelfonts DESCRIPTION The file corelfonts is a perl script which will install all the PostScript Type 1 fonts supplied on the Corel Ventura 5 CD (and probably with other versions of Corel Ventura and Corel Draw). These fonts are from Bitstream. Running this script will copy the afm and pfb files from the Corel CD and run fontinst on them to create tfm, vf, fd and sty files for use with LaTeX. The fonts, font descriptions and LaTeX package files are installed to subdirectories in your TeXMF tree. INSTALLATION Installation is simply a matter of running the script with perl and telling your tex system about the new fonts and packages. The instructions here work for teTeX running on FreeBSD 4.7 and fpTeX running on Windows XP, but they ought to work with minor variations on other systems. Unix: chmod +x corelfonts ./corelfonts Edit your config.ps file (probably located at texmf/dvips/config) to include the line: p +bitstrea.map Then run texhash to update the filename database. Win32: perl corelfonts Edit your updmap.cfg file (probably located at texmf/web2c) to include the line: Map bitstrea.map Then run updmap to update the filename database. USAGE Just include a line such as \usepackage{sabon} in the preamble to your LaTeX document and the default font will be Sabon (Garamond). Have a look through the texmf/tex/latex/bitstrea directory to see which packages are available. Each package supplies a font family.

DISCLAIMER Apart from the fact that I had these Corel (Bitstream) fonts lying around and wanted to use them with LaTeX, this was simply an exercise in learning perl for me. If you find the script useful I will be delighted, but I cannot take responsibility for any problems you might have with it. Please let me know if you find the script useful though.
