Don: LaTeX distributions use free URW clones of the standard Adobe Times/Helvetica/Courier etc. But because every PDF Reader is supposed to have these fonts available, your dvi to ps to pdf converters are *not* embedding them. Instead the Acrobat Reader is using its own Type1 fonts, in this case, TimesNewRoman. ptmr7t is a "virtual" font; if used, it will eventually access the relevant pfb files. Look for files fonts\type1\urw\times\*.pfb. 8r.enc is an encoding transformation. Hope this helps.

[TeX-music] I'll never understand TeX fonts.
In the process of editing musixdoc.tex, I've now come to a section about text. I want to explain in there how to change all the predefined fonts to a different set if you don't like computer modern. I want to use Hiroaki Morimoto's example, a link to which he provided to the list about a year ago: http://homepage1.nifty.com/kuuku/notation/musixtmr.tex.gz It contains a bunch of statements like "\font\tenrm=ptmr7t" which are supposed to replace computer modern roman with times roman. I wanted to test this out in my own MiKTeX system. I did not remember ever downloading or installing any ptmr7t.*, so I searched for such files in CTAN and came up empty. Undaunted, I just tried inserting "\font\tenrm=ptmr7t" into a musixtex file and using the font, and (lo and behold) it worked, all the way through to creating a pdf using gsview. According to Acrobat document info, the font so created had these characteristics: Original font: Times-Roman Type: Type 1 Encoding: Standard Used Font: TimesNewRomanPSMT In contrast, the corresponding characteristics of cmr10 are CMR10, Type 1, Built-in, Embedded Subset. To further confuse myself, I searched my MiKTeX texmf directory for ptmr7t, finding only ptmr7t.tfm and ptmr7t.vf. In contrast, a search for cmr10.* yielded cmr10.afm, cmr10.tfm, cmr10.pfb, and cmr10.mf. Finally I notice that when running dvips, I get the following on the screen: == This is dvips(k) 5.94a Copyright 2003 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2005.12.13:1459' -> JUNK.ps <8r.enc>. [1] == When the ptmr7t font is not included, the output is the same except that "<8r.enc>" is not present. I think I understand the handling of cmr10 and the roles of all related files except for cmr10.afm. I understand that .afm is some sort of alternate version of .tfm, but I have no idea when or how it is used instead of .tfm. Can someone explain that? I also have no idea at all what's going on with the ptmr7t font. Can someone explain it, explain the roles of ptmr7t.vf, 8r.enc, and how I can get a postscript version of this font without having a .pfb file??? --Don Simons ___ TeX-music mailing list TeX-music@icking-music-archive.org http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

Using SUSE 10 you will find updmap.cfg in /etc/texmf/web2c. Add a line: "MAP musix.map ". Before put musix.map into /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips.
