Can someone please help me with the following questions so that I
can use some
of the typescripts that Wolfgang and some others have so kindly made
available.
I will use font Bera as an example, since I would like to use it.
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.6
(1) How do I know if I have font Bera? As in, where on my computer
do I look to
see if I have font Bera installed?
All my typescripts work with XeTeX/LuaTeX only, if you want to use
pdfTeX write
your own typescripts.
You can show a list of all available fonts for LuaTeX with 'mtxrun --
script fonts --list'
and for XeTeX with 'fc-list' on the terminal.
Bera is a Bitsream Vera modification and I suggest to use DejaVu
instead, you can
find a link to the font in the file.
(2) If I do not have the font, how do I install Bera? I see that
there are files
on ctan. Where should I save this?
The easiest way is to install the font as normal system fonts.
(3) Once I have installed the font and I have downloaded Wolfgang's
type-bera.tex file, where do I save this file? Can I save it where I
save the
third-party modules. Once I save it, do I run the usual texhash,
followed by
luatools --generate followed by context --make
Save the file in your local TeX tree, I have them under 'texmf-local/
tex/context/third/typescrips/'.
Before you could use them TeX has to know about the file, to do this
call
'mktexlsr' for XeTeX and 'luatools --generate' or 'context --generate'
for LuaTeX.
'context --make' is only used to create a new format file for ConTeXt
but you
don't need this for third party files which are loaded at runtime.
(4) Once I have accomplished the top three steps, how do I use it in
a document?
Do I just type
\usetypescript[bera]
\switchtobodyfont[bera,12pt]
\usetypescriptfile[type-...] % load the typescript file
\usetypescript[...] % load the typescript
\setupbodyfont[...]
