Thank you to Tobias Hilbricht for the script.
It is exactly what I was looking for.

I notice that the command "testfont"
is not a command with the backslash "\"
Is there any way to create one single file with
a \sample page for each font installed in my computer?


Ciro


===================================================

Dear Ciro,
I used the following shell skript, which was one and a half years ago on
http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/fonts/fonts.phtml

fontdemo.sh

-------------

find `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`/fonts/tfm -name '*.tfm' -print
| \
	sed 's@.*/@@; s@\.tfm$@@' | \
	xargs sh -c 'for i in "$@"; do (echo $i; echo \\\sample\\\bye) | \
	tex testfont; mv testfont.dvi $i.dvi; echo $i.dvi; done' sh

-------------

It gives you one dvi-file per installed font in your TeX-System - that
is usually a lot.

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

testfont refers to the file testfont.tex in  the directory
texmf/doc/generic/fontinst/test/testfont.tex
it is not a command

...echo \\\sample\\\bye)... in the script are commands you have to feed
into testfont.tex in order to get a font sample - see documentation. You
can use other test files and adapt the script accordingly.

what fonts I have in my systems?

[ciro]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 190 bytes --]

Is there a set of commands to know what fonts I have in my
installation of context? and How do I show them all together
without going one by one in the subdirectories...
thank you
Ciro

there is no program for that

you can play with:

  http://www.ntg.nl:8061/fonttest.pdf

(or: http://www.ntg.nl:8061/exalogin) 

to see what free fonts are in the tex distributions

When klicking the above link using Firefox and IE I get the following error:

	Example Server Status

What's up?

when executing the about link, the file "fonttest.pdf" you download,
is in reality a html file which contains exactly the above message.

So the error is on the ntg (Hans') side :-)

No, but you need a properly installed PDF browser plugin.
(On a Mac I can see the pdf, but the simple PDF plugin by SchubertIT 
can't handle links.)

I don't think so, besides trusting in PDF interfaces at all.

well, more in my head -) that direct link only works when one is logged in

indeed, then ... just click 'submit' and you will get the default interface (the 4 values are used in more complex situations) 

  http:/www.ntg.nl:8061/exalogin

is the fast link, and after that click on fonttest

Hi Hans et al.

Aha, some times "big steps won't bring you home earlier" as the Dutch 
say. Indeed with the http:/www.ntg.nl:8061/exalogin everything work 
fine! - Playing with this tool is fun and allows experimenting in an 
easy way. Thanks Hans.

Willi
