Subject: Use of standard font engines on Linux
Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2007 10:14:11 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200708111014.11818.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)
Linux distros have been emphasizing the use of the fonts in fc-cache
across applications. TeX always did its own thing, with tfm files,
mapping files etc. I note that some of the newer TeX products are
using pfb + afm instead of pfb + tfm. Does this presage the
availablity of all the fonts described in the fc-cache files or will
TeX continue to have its own set of fonts?
