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.

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

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
