I downloaded the latest betas and I am now able to generate and use the
necessary font files. One curious note, the only thing that fails is the
generation of the virtual font files. This is a MikTeX installation (but I
have installed the fptex distribution since texfont.pl seems to require the
tools mktexlsr and Kpathsea). The command line and subsequent messages are
shown below.
>texfont --fontroot=F:/localtexmf --ven=FontsThings --col=hand --ma --in
TeXFont 1.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2001 (BETA)
encoding vector : texnansi
vendor name : fontsthings
source path : .
font collection : hand
texmf font root : f:/localtexmf
pdftex map file : texnansi-fontsthings-hand.map
source path : .
processing files : all on afm path
copying files : afm
copying : hand.afm
copying files : pfb
copying : hand.pfb
generating tfm : texnansi-raw-hand (from hand)
generating vf : texnansi-hand (from texnansi-raw-hand)
texnansi-raw-hand: No such file or directory
font identifier : PPHandwritingNormal
generating : ls-r databases
mktexlsr: VARTEXFONTS is not defined. Defaulting to
`J:\Storage\updates\TeX\Ty
pe\install'.
mktexlsr: Updating F:/localtexmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.
BTW, some font names seem to contain -raw- as part of their name but the tex
file that shows proper usage suggests the wrong name, e.g. the texfont
command generated the following suggestions in
texnansi-fontsthings-hand.tex:
\definefontsynonym[PPHandwritingNormal][texnansi-hand][encoding=texnansi]
instead of
\definefontsynonym[PPHandwritingNormal][texnansi-raw-hand][encoding=texnansi
]
It's easy enough to fix by hand but can this be repaired programmatically?
thanks
