I use tetexx-1.0.7 in RH linux. Today I learned the Sketch (vector graphics) program verion 0.6.12 has a latex plugin described here:
http://www.sjh.f2s.com/sketchlatex/ and I'm trying to understand its comments about the tex distribution. It says this: Sketch needs to know about the LaTeX fonts in order to display them. In particular a directory with the *.afm files has to be added to the sketch font path.... The afm files are not needed by LaTeX, so may not be included in your LaTeX distribution. If that's the case, you can download the complete bluesky computer modern fontset distribution from CTAN. On a CTAN mirror this will be at fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky/cmps-unix.tar.gz. I downloaded that package and I can't tell if it has fonts I don't already have. It has a bunch of files in the afm directory. In contrast, the tetex distribution on my system under /usr/share/texmf/fonts has directories $ ls adobe bitstrea hoekwater public urw yandy and *.afm files are distributed around in there. I don't know where the computer modern font information that Sketch wants is compared to the bluesky fonts, or what the Sketch program wants. Similarly, the X server font path needs to have the *.pfb files from Latex, and that one has me stumped. I administer 8 different RedHat systems, and don't want to have to custom edit font stuff in each one unless really necessary, so I'm asking here. pj -- Paul E.
