Thanks, Wolfgang, that was another step in the right direction. Could you help me with the next step? This is what I did so far. (N.B. I'm not interested in TeX's standard fonts. I want to use my own type1 and otf fonts which are in c:\fonts). 1. I set OSFONTDIR to c:\fonts 2. I ran mtxrun --script font --reload
That was succesfull. Mtxrun recursed the entire font directory tree. 3. I ran mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=*stone*. I got about twenty lines of output in three columns. Here is an example: stonesans StoneSans c:/fonts/ITC Stone Sans/SS______.AFM So far, so good. Now, I want to use this font and you included a link to a Wiki article. This article says I have to use a typescript. The example typescript from the Wiki uses the \definetypeface command. I searched everywhere for a good description of this command, but wasn't able to find one, unfortunately. Using the example from the Wiki: \definetypeface [Bonum] [rm] [serif] [bonum] [default] how would I use this command to be able to use my Stone Sans font from the mtxrun output? In the [Bonum] example I can't find a reference to a font file of the type c:\fonts\etc..... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Harrie.
