Installing a TrueType font, step by step - Old Content (view source)

If you manage to get to this point and <tt>texfont</tt> does not complain much, the fonts are installed!
The command above will make the fonts with texnansi encoding. If you don't know what encodings are, then just let it be as it is. If you need another encoding (such as ec, 8r), it can be specified with a switch <tt>--en=ec</tt>. You can install the same font several times with different encodings, ; the naming scheme allows coexistence.
With the simple command line you may have problems with ligatures. For example, two hyphens <tt>--</tt> in the source file still print as two hyphens (not as an en dash). This can be cured by giving the switch <tt>--afmpl</tt> which tells <tt>texfont</tt> to use a slightly more intelligent utility (<tt>afm2pl</tt>) with the fonts.
