Let's not presume that I know what to do with these files:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Latin Modern fonts can be freely used and distributed under the GNU
Public Licence (see http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php).
The fonts, as compared to the CM family, contain a lot of additional
characters, mainly accented ones, but not only. The list of fonts and
characters available so far can be found at the end of this file.
The package consists of the files in the directories
conforming to the TeX Directory Structure:
doc/ this info plus LaTeX examples (test files);
dvips/ support files for dvips (enc, .map);
fonts/ font files (.afm, .tfm, .pfm and .pfb);
tex/ the relevant LaTeX support files (very many thanks
to Daniel Flippo and Marcin Woli\'nski).
There is one set of PostScript fonts and four sets of TeX Font Metric
files, corresponding to:
-- Cork encoding (cork-*.tfm),
-- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm),
-- TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm), and
-- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm).
It is presumed that a potential user knows what to do with all these files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm running Fedora Core 1 here. I've grabbed lmodern_0.92.orig.tar.gz
(paradoxically from http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lmodern.html). It's
6.1MB in size.
It unpacks to:
lm/fonts/type1/public/lm/*.pf[bm]
lm/fonts/afm/public/lm/*.afm.gz
lm/fonts/tfm/public/lm/*.tfm
lm/dvips/lm/*.(enc,map}
lm/doc/fonts/lm/[the docs above and some 'test' docs.]
lm/tex/latex/lm/lmodern.sty, *.fd
I can shove lm/tex/latex/lm/lmodern.sty into my texmf tree and run texhash,
but I've no real idea what to do with the font files, or indeed, with the
files in lm/dvips/lm.
I see that I have a bunch of .afm fonts here:
/usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe
together with this:
/usr/share/fonts/afms/fonts.cache-1
which suggests that I should be updating some database or other. Who? What?
How?
I also find a bunch of .pfb fonts in subdirectories starting here:
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/
But, basically, I'm clueless. Can someone kind show me the way forward?
