In order to learn understand fontinstallation, typescripts and so, I tried to install a Font (Metafont-source). Please have a look at the following fragment: ---------------------type-bunt.tex---------------------------- \starttypescript [handwriting] [bunt] [ec] \definefontsynonym [???] [???] [???] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [handwriting] [bunt] [name] \definefontsynonym [???] [???] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [handwriting] [default] [size] \definebodyfont [5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.95pt,12pt,14.4pt,17.28pt,20.74pt,24.88pt] [hw] [default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Bunt] \definetypeface [Bunt] [hw] [handwriting] [bunt] [default] [encoding=\typescripttwo] \stoptypescript ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the following questions: 1. What is the differenz between hw and cg resp. handwriting and calligraphy? 2. Is the typescript for [handwriting], defined in 'type-siz.tex', the default, if the above typescript for size would be deletet? 3. Is there a good reason to use typescripts for such a one member family of fonts? 4. What is the 3. parameter in \definebodyfont for? 5. In 'type-siz.tex' the sizes are given with maximal 1/10 präzission. In a LaTeX fd-file I have used 1/100 präzission (10.95, not 11; 17.28, not 17.3), so I have used the same in the above typescript, just to be konsistent. Is this ok? 6. The namingshema of the source-files is 'bunt0900.mf, bunt1000.mf, bunt1095.mf ... What has to be written in the above [name] typescript to build these names? 7. What should I write for the 6. parameter of \definetypeface? The encoding [ec]? What means \typescripttwo? What with the encoding-typescript? Wolfgang
