Installing and using the fonts is very easy. Nothing having to do with
MusiXTeX needs to change (because TeX and packages over TeX only use font
metrics, not actual fonts).
To get dvips to embed the type 1 fonts, you must use a .map file containing
the lines
musix16 TeX-musix16 <my_musix16.pfb
musix20 TeX-musix20 <my_musix20.pfb
For example, for my tetex-based installation, I added a file
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/musixtex.map
containing the lines above, and a file
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.type1
similar to config.ps but containing the line
p +musixtex.map
Add the lines
p +bsr.map
p +bsr-interpolated.map
p +hoekwater.map
if you use Computer Modern and have type 1 versions installed. If you use other
type 1 (Postscript) fonts, add the line
p +psfonts.map
I also set the default to outputting the Postscript as a file rather than
printing. Then a command of the form
dvips -Ptype1 something.dvi
will output something.ps, embedding type 1 fonts for musix16 and musix20 (and,
if you have them, other fonts). Note that there is no advantage in using type 1
fonts for local displaying and printing. Use type 1 fonts only for producing
pdfs or resolution-independent Postscript files.
Similarly, if you use dvipdfm, create a map file with the following lines:
musix16 default my_musix16.pfb
musix20 default my_musix20.pfb
and refer to this map file in the relevant configuration file, which is
/usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/config
on my system.
Put the *.pfb files where dvips and dvipdfm can find them. On my installation I
created a directory
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/musixtex
copied the *.pfb files there, ensured they were world-readable, and ran texhash.
