TeXFont Problem

TeXFont Problem

[Fergal Grimes]

Hi,

I'm a TeX/ConTeXt beginner and I'm having trouble installing a new font.

I just purchased Sabon from Adobe and I'm following the installation 
instructions at http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html.

The problem is that when I run TeXFont it just copies the AFM and PFB files 
into the directory tree at C:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf-local\fonts. (I'm 
using TeXLive distribution for Win32.)  However, for some reason it does not 
generate the TFM and VF files.

I searched the archives of this list and notice that this problem was raised 
by chabah5 at hotmail.com  on Thu Aug 12 13:21:56 2004, but got no answer.

Can anyone help me?

I've got TeXFont version 2.2.1. and I run the folowing command from the 
directory where the downloaded font files reside:

  texfont --vendor=adobe --collection=sabon --makepath --install

The output I get is appended below. I'd appreciate any help you can give 
(since I've invested $160 in Adobe Sabon!!!)

Thanks,
Fergal

strange, can you run with --trace and see what systemcall is done? could be a 
faulty binary; (there has been a mix up of the tfto* and vfto* in the fptex 
binaries for a while; run them and see what they report)

(actually i found out that this was a mix up when i needed to generate sabon 
metrics so it in the end it is possible to use them; actually, i put them under 
'monotype' as vendor) [see type-buy.dat in latest beta]

I'm no TeX on PC expert, but off the top of my head, it sounds like
you're running into a problem where TeX (and some utilities) don't deal
with fonts with a space in the path too well.

I can't comment on font installation, but I think you should be
careful with the space in "Program Files".  It looks like mktexlsr is
having trouble with it.  For that reason, I usually keep my TeX tree
under C:\tex or something like that.

Best wishes,

Matt

Re: TeXFont Problem

Thanks for your help. Yes, that was the problem. So I uninstalled TeXLive 
from:

  C:\Program Files\TeXLive

And reinstalled at:

  C:\TeXLive

Then I ran TeXFont and it worked correctly.

Thanks again,
Fergal
