I'm in over me head a bit here... I have typeset several books (novels) for a friend using Times Roman font set and groff with PostScript output. The printing plant is asking for embedded fonts, and I don't see anything but what I think is the font metrics files in /usr/share/groff/1.18.1/font/devps in files TR, TI, TB, and TBI.
I'm inclined to think these are font metric files for Adobe Times Roman font family fonts, and rely on the Adobe fonts installed on the printer (such as a PostScript-equipped HP LaserJet). Am I anywhere close to right on this? The folks at the printing plant prefer that the fonts be embedded with the PS or PDF file so there is no risk of mis-matched layout. I downloaded the cm-super font package (all 67 Mbytes) and unpacked it. Now I see directories for afm, debian, dvipdfm, dvips, inf, pfb, and vtex. I am clueless about tex. I am suspicious that what I need is in dvips, but reading through the README and other files in the package, I'm still swimming in mud. Can anyone in groff-land give me a hint about where to start with these in order to get the fonts up and running with groff/grops convert the mystical font-file names into something that a mere mortal such as I can make sense of? Thanks a bunch! Clarke _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
