I posted a question about NTeX 1.2.1 in Slackware 2.1 and I was wondering
if someone could tell me if this is a problem with the distribution or
with my understanding of TeX.
Anyway, when I try to use, say, Adobe Garamond Regular, I use the following in
my TeX source file:
\font\myFont = pgdr at 12pt
{\myFont This is a test.}
Now...I have named the the .afm file pgdr.afm, generated the raw TFM file and
called it pgdr.tfm and generated the VF file calling it pgdr.vf. I have added
an entry in the psfonts.map as:
pgdr AGaramond-Regular < pgdr.pfb
When I compile my TeX source, I get a nice DVI file with no problems. When
I run dvips -o filename.ps filename.dvi everything seems to go okay, too.
I even see the <pgdr.pfb> show up (meaning the pfb file was included in
the output PS file). Now, when I use ghostview to look at this file, the
text appears very very ugly (you can tell if you use, say, 24pt instead).
Anyway, I recall that doing this shoud allow ghostview to render the font
at any resolution (zoomed etc.) but maybe my memory has failed me.
On the same note, (more specific to NTeX 1.2.1) when I add use Utopia and
Charter (two fonts that come with the distribution), I only get one font...
that's Utopia. No matter what name I use (I have enen tried substituting the
.pfb file of utopia with the .pfb of another font). Still, no go.
Can someone help me PLEASE?! I'm going to install NTeX 1.3 and hope that it
was just a crappy installation of NTeX 1.2.1 that was causing these problems.
Thanks,
Charlton
