Hi, I find the following section very opaque.
Font installation The following is a step‐by‐step font installation guide for gropdf. • Convert your font to something groff understands. This is a PostScript Type 1 font in PFA or PFB format, together with an AFM file. A PFA file begins as follows. %!PS-AdobeFont-1.0: A PFB file contains this string as well, preceded by some non‐ printing bytes. In the following steps, we will consider the use of CTAN’s BrushScriptX‐Italic font in PFA format. This mention of an AFM file is the first mention in the page, and has no information about it at all. $ MANWIDTH=72 man gropdf | grep AFM AFM file. A PFA file begins as follows. • Convert the AFM file to a groff font description file with the search path. While groff doesn’t directly use AFM files, it is So, I'm supposed to know what that file is, and all steps continue from it. Well, let's see if it's something easy; maybe a Debian package with fonts already contains somehting .afm and I can assume it's that what this manual is referring to. $ apt-file show texlive-fonts-extra | grep -i tino | grep -i afm $ Nope. Can you please explain what I need to do to generate a TINOR file (or TinosR, or whatever it's called; I'm confused by the naming inconsistency) from whatever that (or another) Debian package provides?
