I recently wanted to find and install the Baskerville font on my system (I
saw it in a book and liked it). After much digging, I found it as part of the
psfonts on CTAN. There were two dirs: baskerbe and baskervi. Not knowing the
difference (what is the difference?) I downloaded and installed them both.
The install I did was as follows, because I simply don't know any better: the
directory I downloaded contained ./tex ./tfm ./vf directories. I coppied the
files in each of these directories to what looked like the appropriate place
in my tex tree: vf files went in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/baskerbe and
baskervi, tfm files went in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/ ... , fd files
went into /usr/share/tex/latex/psnfss. I then catted the ???.map files onto
my /etc/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map file, did a texconfig rehash, put
\usepackage{baskerbe} into my preamble, and viewed the postscript.
The font looks positively horrible. None of the characters are spaced
correctly, none of them are sized correctly, and the font itself looks
nothing like baskerville. What did I do wrong? What do I need to do to
install these fonts? I've looked at fntguide, but if the answer is there then
I don't see it
