FontSite 500 CD support

FontSite 500 CD support

[Bill McClain]

I've had some email with Christopher League, the author of the Latex
support package for the FontSite 500 CD. He is going to work on ConTeXt
support in early 2003.

When this is ready it will mostly supercede the procedures on my web
page.

Again, the urls are:

    http://contrapunctus.net/fs500tex/
    http://www.fontsite.com/

I'll try to follow if it will be possible to use this stuff for ConTeXt.

How much is this CD useful for users who need characters from the latin-2 set?

(besides Croatian chars I also need support for TeX's accents for handling
Sanskrit diacritics)

I don't know much about latin-2, so I'm not able to say. Would
inspecting the afm for a font help? I'll send you one if you want to see
it.

Yes, please. It should reveal what is in the font.

I inspected afm files which you sent me, and it looks like fonts are only in
latin-1 encoding, which is somewhat understandable. Not easy to find quality
& affordable non-latin-1 and/or Unicode fonts.

Have you looked here:

   http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/fonts.html

Great starting place, although it takes a lot of searching.

Thank you for that.

I'll definitely take time to do some searching.
