a) I referred to AFM files because I tried to use terminology I didn't
fully grasp in order to make this bug report clearer. I removed
references to it from the description, because I may have been using the
wrong words. I'm not that familiar with LaTeX, I just play with it
incidentally.
For the other questions I cannot help you.
I would like to say that I get error messages when trying to run the autoinst
command on the TTF files downloaded from <font.ubuntu.com>: for each file I get
this:
ERROR: I've parsed both 'Ubuntu-BI.ttf'
and 'Ubuntu-I.ttf' as
Family
Width regular
Weight regular
Shape roman
Size 0-0
No file is generated as a result.
** Summary changed:
- Build AFM versions of the Ubuntu Font Family during build time, for use with
LaTeX
+ Generate TeX files of the Ubuntu Font Family during build time
** Description changed:
At the moment it is not possible to use the Ubuntu Font Family in LaTeX
without importing it manually. It would be great if this font would be
made available in LaTeX by default, so you can choose to use a modern
font without too much of a hassle.
Vincent-Xavier Jumel posted an article on his blog with some
- instructions for converting the font to AFM at <http://blog.thetys-
- retz.net/post/2010/11/01/Importing-Ubuntu-Font-Family-in-LaTeX>.
+ instructions for converting the font for use with TeX at <http://blog
+ .thetys-retz.net/post/2010/11/01/Importing-Ubuntu-Font-Family-in-LaTeX>.
- I'm requesting to generate this AFM file at build time. We could then
- make LaTeX recommend this package, so every user on Ubuntu who installs
- LaTeX will be able to use the font straight away.
