Installing a TrueType font, step by step - Old Content (view source)
Revision as of 23:49, 2 May 2005
, 23:49, 2 May 2005a little more on .lig files
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>af2pl</tt>) with the fonts.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a file missing in gwTeX, so you will need to get <tt>default.lig</tt> somewhere. The easiest way is to download it from http://www.tug.org/ftp/texlive/Contents/testinstalled/texmf/fonts/lig/afm2pl/default.lig . Placing it in your working directory is enough, but you could also download all the <tt>.lig</tt> files in that directory and putting them in your own TeX tree at fonts/lig/afm2pl, and then run texhash/mktexlsr.
