Re: Times New Roman

[Hans Hagen <pragma@wxs.nl>]

Hi,

add/patch this in your texmf.cnf file:

OSFONTDIR =

T1FONTS       = .;$TEXMF/fonts/{type1,pfb}//;$TEXMF/fonts/misc/hbf//;$OSFONTDIR//
AFMFONTS      = .;$TEXMF/fonts/afm//;$OSFONTDIR//
TTFONTS       = .;$TEXMF/fonts/{truetype,ttf}//;$OSFONTDIR//
OPENTYPEFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/opentype//;$OSFONTDIR//

and in your batch file say:

set osfontdir=c:/windows/fonts

that way tex knows where to look for the pfb files

(what are the corresponding values for linux/osx ?)
