On Sun, 7 Nov 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the installfont package. Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family. License type: lppl Announcement text:
With this script you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). It supports font series from light to ultra bold + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.6a: - Bugfix: \RequirePackage{softmakerfreefont} got lost in the last update
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/installfont . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=installfont (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
