Adam Typescript Lindsay first -) usage: ctxtools --dpx e:/tex/texmf-local (--force to make it really happen) i uploaded yet another zip (i hope that this compensates Idris' experience with fonts in recent distribuitions -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
