Hello again, finally a follow-up. I have been working on my font installer for the last few (insert your favourite time period here). It has come to a state where it is actually usable. Although not very fancy yet.
For those who don't know: it is a set of ruby libraries to create a font installer as well as some example installers. It can handle a single font (like afm2tfm) and a font family (like fontinst). Included in the distribution is a program called afm2tfm.rb. You might guess that this is meant as a replacement for afm2tfm (comes with dvips). It can do a bit more than afm2tfm, for example, it can also handle truetype fonts and keep kerning and ligature information in the tfm file. Another program included is 'rfont', a simple installer for font families (regular, bold, italic, ...). But for that program, I need some help for implementing ConTeXt font support. LaTeX support is already working (although very preliminary - I'd appreciate help there, too). Prerequisites: * ruby 1.8 (I guess, I have not tested it with 1.6) * pltotf, vptovf (come with your TeX distribution) * ttf2afm (pdftex), if you want to install truetype fonts * patience (not everything is bug free) * subversion if you want to stay up to date and can't wait a few hours for the nightly snapshot. This release is dedicated to Mojca and Nikolai (who have to wait for the changes in texshow-web - I was just too busy with this) > Here is the project page: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/rfil/ > > and here is the 'home page' of the project: > https://rfil.groups.foundry.supelec.fr/ (documentation in rdoc format) There is also a mailinglist at that site. You can find it at the project page. Because the upload of the foundry server is not working for me at the moment, I have put the current cvs snapshot at <http://levana.de/tmp/rfil-104.tgz>. This will go away soon. You can always downoad the nightly svn snapshot. Any kind of feedback is welcome.
