I'm running TeXLive 2011 under Mac OS X and have How do I go about installing and using the actual Adobe Type 1 (.pfb
) Times Roman SC (small caps) and Times Roman Bold SC fonts? I have those Type 1 files. (Does mathptmx
or some other package already include the needed .tfm
's? Where would I find the .map file to add? Anything else to do?)
Update: progress so far.
Following fontinstallationguide.pdf
, I did the following:
(1) Renamed the Adobe-distributed tirsc___.*
to ptmrc8a.*
, and tibsc___.*
to ptmbc8a.*
, where *
is pbf
, pfa
, pfm
, or arm
.
(2) Create .fd
, .pl
, and .vpl
files by TeXing the driver file:
% ptm-drv.tex
\input fontinst.sty
\needsfontinstversion{1.926}
\recordtransforms{ptm-rec.tex}
\latinfamily{ptm}{}
\endrecordtransforms
\bye
(3) Compile the .tmf
and .vpl
files by using pltoft
and vptovf
.
(4) Did not yet copy the created files into my local texmf tree (~/Library/texmf
).
Problem: There are overlaps already between system versions of some of these files and the newly-generated versions that would go into the local tree. For example, consider t1ptm.fd
:
- The local version includes entries
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{ptm}{m}{sc}{<-> ptmrc8t}{}
and\DeclareFontShape{T1}{ptm}{b}{sc}{<-> ptmbc8t}{}
which already appear in the system version. - The local version includes entry
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{ptm}{bx}{sc}{<->ssub * ptm/b/sc}{}
which does not appear in the system version.
So what will happen when a LaTeX document is processed that calls for the Times-Roman SC font? Will the local .fd
override the system .fd
? (If so, then the additional, essential, entries such as \DeclareFontShape{T1}{ptm}{m}{n}{<-> ptmr8t}{}
in the system version won't be read!)
Or, will the entries in both the local version and system version be processed? Will this create any conflicts? If so, how resolve?
