=========================================================== FontFont Dingbests font pack for LaTeX ============================================================ 2004-09-22 WalterSchmidt w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net This bundle includes all files required to use the FontFont Dingbests (*) Type1 fonts (version 004.460) with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. It does _not_ include the actual Type1 font, which can be downloaded for free from FontFonts's web site. (*) Indeed, the name of the font family is "Dingbests" with an "s"; in contrast to what is indicated on the www page. See also the font family name inside the afm file! The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. Yet they may not exactly fit your particular TeX system; please, consult its documentation, too! The directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of a TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than one directory tree, its documentation should tell you where to install new files. In case you have istalled the previous release (2002-06-02) ----------------------------------------------------------- ... of this collection, it must be deleted entirely, before the present one can be installed. Remove the following files, as far as they actually exist: texmf/fonts/tfm/public/misc/dingbest.tfm texmf/tex/latex/misc/udingbest.fd texmf/doc/latex/misc/dingbest.pdf texmf/dvips/config/dingbest.map texmf/dvips/local/dingbest.map texmf/vtex/config/dingbedst.ali Remove also the obsolete font files; the font has been updated in the meantime: texmf/fonts/type1/public/misc/dingbest.pfb texmf/fonts/afm/public/misc/dingbest.afm Remove the font mapping information for the old Dingbests fomt from the configuration data for dvips, pdfTeX and/or VTeX. Downloading and installing the Type1 font file ---------------------------------------------- Download the font FF Dingbests in `PC, PostScript' format via . You will receive a ZIP archive named wint1.zip. Alternatively, the archive can be downloaded immediately: Unpack wint1.zip. in a temporary directory. The Type1 font, i.e., the file Dingbest.pfb must be moved to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/fontfont/dingbests of your TeX system. Move the related .afm files accordingly to: texmf/fonts/afm/fontfont/dingbests Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive dingbests.zip --------------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive dingbests.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the appropriate directories. Updating the filename database ------------------------------ Many TeX systems require manual updating of a "filename database" after adding of new files. Please, consult the documentation of your TeX system! Configuring your TeX system --------------------------- The present distribution includes several font map files for the FontFont InterOffice fonts. You need to configure your TeX system so that an appropriate file is actually used. The required steps depend on the particular TeX system. Particular sets of instructions are provided below for the following systems: * teTeX * VTeX/Free With other TeX systems such as MikTeX, consult the related documentation how to install an additional font map file. The name of the map file to be used for InterOffice is "dingbests.map". Two copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips. Configuring teTeX ----------------- Additional font map files (here dingbests.map) are installed using the shell script "updmap". With teTeX-2.0 and later (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map dingbests.map With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation about how to add new map files to the system. Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file dingbests.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting an appropriate record ito each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "dingbests.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... dingbests.ali } In case you are still using VTeX/Free 7.x (as opposed to v8.x), copy the .ali file from texmf/fonts/map/vtex to the directory texmf/vtex/config. Using the FF Dingbests font with LaTeX -------------------------------------- See the file dingbests.pdf, which should have been installed in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/fontfont of your TeX system.
