Font reencoding once more

Font reencoding once more

[AlterEgo Qasars]

Good morning.

I'm sorry to bother you once more with this problem, but it is quite
painful for me. I want to typeset a document encoded in ISO Latin2 with a
font encoded in T1 (Cork). I can't use your perl font-install, since I
have no .afm files -- only .vf and .tfm files. The only way for me is to
reencode the font manually (well, I have some awk file, but I don't want
to use it except in the most awful crisis :-). I tried to read a part of
ConTeXt source but I didn't understand how to set it up.

Can you help me, please?

With best reagards

if you have the tfm's, vf's and t1's you don't need to use texfont, but you 
can use the files directly. Ic you want to reencode them nevertheless, 
maybe a web search will lead you to the afm's. What fonts are you using?

Many thanks for your answer.

I mean TX and PX fonts. Virtual fonts are ready for Cork encoding while I 
use ISO Latin 2 on my input.

a web search on the afm files may help

btw, if you use for instance tx/px files with iso encoding, all you need to 
do is to define a few new typescript that map names

maybe we should start setting up a font repository, but i don't want to 
duplicate ctan / fp/tetex
