Hello, I know Élie has been working on extra LuaTeX packages that would allow using your *.otf fonts directly (using XeTeX-style font calls -- \font \foo="fantasticfont.otf"); I've not been following development closely, so I'm not sure how far he is in that -- maybe they're working already. :-) Hopefully he can fill you in, but his packages (luatextra, luainputenc, luaotfload, luamplib) are available on CTAN and will also, as far as I know, be in TeXLive 2009. That would be the easiest method, since you wouldn't have to deal with any font conversions for LaTeX. The other (not quite as) simple way to install otf fonts in a TeX distribution is by using LCDF Typetools (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/lcdf-typetools.html ). For convenience, there is a wrapper script also available called autoinst (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fontools.html ). Running autoinst on your Garamond font files would create all the TeX fontfiles needed. Both those are included in a complete MacTeX install, but if you don't have them, you can download from CTAN. I wish I could point you to step-by-step instructions, but I'm on my out again... if the autoinst documentation is unclear, I can put up a walkthrough later/tomorrow. Hope that helps, -- Tracy _______________________________________________ Gregorio-users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gregorio-users
