Convert Suitcase Font to TTF?
I have a client who sent me a bunch of Suit fonts and tells me they are truetype. Obviously she's wrong. Is there a way to convert suit to TTF so it can be used on Windows?

Yes, if they were copied correctly from the Mac. Suit(case) is a mac font packaging method, and contains mac-format fonts (I believe they may be either Type 1 or Truetype). Programs that can extract and convert them include CrossFont http://www.asy.com Transtype http://www.fontlab.com If you know the names of the fonts, you may already have them in PC format, or they may be easily available. - Character

Problem: Latex cannot find a TTF font installed by the Miktex TTF font installer
Short version: I have the Sabon font as TTF and would like to use it from Miktex. I have tried using various methods, including the Miktex font installer, but failed. I think the Sabon font is installed (the self-test seems to indicate that) but still pdftex complains that the font shape is undefined. How should I proceed, please? Long version: I'll redo all the steps (2006-04-11) and log them here. This is on Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service pack 2. First let's ensure that the system is up to date. I run the Miktex update wizard 2.4.1704. Update from Internet. Sele...
How to convert TrueType fonts to bitmapped fonts in Ubuntu
I need to convert some Microsoft TTF TrueType fonts to bitmapped fonts, to generate several fonts of differing size. I had some success with utility ttf2bdf from Freetype1 library. (and subsequent use of bdftopcf). However, ttf2bdf is buggy and cannot convert, say, COUR.ttf (Corier New font). It chokes on it and produces a file without any characters defined. Freetype1 is no longer supported, so I am looking for an alternative. Freetype2 seems to only be a library. So, I want to find some tool to convert TTF fonts to bitmapped Unix fonts (PCF). Some may ask, why bi...

Don't you need to put an entry in the Fontmap file anyway ? At any rate, I came across a similar problem a few GS release back (I wanted to populate the Fontmap with the proper name...) I simply associated the TTF file to a /Dummy fontname in Fontmap and then called 'findfont' for that dummy name. Recent versions of GS shows you a message that gives the expected PS name ("Using ThisFontPSName font for Dummy") This does not seem to work for large (?) fonts. For instance, the 6+ Megabytes "MS Gothic" found in MS Office 2004 Test Drive on my Mac errors out on GS 8.54 with a /rangecheck in --string--, having a 90000+ value on top of operand stack) Otherwise, parsing the TTF tables is another possibility. -- ________________________________________________________ Fran�ois Robert On 18 Jan 2007 07:47:1...

What's the story behind this? (OS > 10.2.8) You've enabled something about Central European input (perhaps a Polish or Estonian keyboard).

How to get LaTeX-font bigger than 24 pt from ttf-font
Hello ! A few days ago I tried to make a TrueType-Font available for LaTeX also. It seemed to be successful but now I have the problem that the fonts show up in dvi- and ps-files correctly only for sizes not larger than 24 pt. I need them bigger (57pt). I use MikTeX 2.3. I don't know all too much about font-management in LaTeX, therefore I -like a stupid sheep- sticked strictly to the online-manual of Damir Rakityansky. The truetype-font is called pompc.ttf.

Font and Font CE
In many programs, installed fonts are appearing twice in the font menu, once as "font" and once as "font CE". What's the story behind this?

What's the story behind this? (OS > 10.2.8) You've enabled something about Central European input (perhaps a Polish or Estonian keyboard). The CE fonts are the ones that have easy mappings for the characters that appear in those orthographies and not in the various western/Roman alphabets (English, French, etc.). -- AF "Non Sequitur U has a really, really lousy debate team." --artyw raises the bar on rec.sport.baseball Alice Faber wrote: > You've enabled something about Central European input German and Arabic, to be precise.

So what's the deal? I've noticed that the fonts concerned are all of the type ".dfont" and they appear twice only in programs that have a "traditional" font menue.

How to get LaTeX-font bigger than 24 pt from ttf-font
Hello ! A few days ago I tried to make a TrueType-Font available for LaTeX also. It seemed to be successful but now I have the problem that the fonts show up in dvi- and ps-files correctly only for sizes not larger than 24 pt. I need them bigger (57pt). I use MikTeX 2.3. I don't know all too much about font-management in LaTeX, therefore I -like a stupid sheep- sticked strictly to the online-manual of Damir Rakityansky. The truetype-font is called pompc.ttf. I did the following: 1. I created TeX Font Metrics (tfm): ttf2tfm pompc.ttf -q -T T1-WGL4.enc -v ecpompc.vpl recpompc.tfm ...
