Instructions for installing and using vfinst: (August 1998) =========================================================== Make sure your version of TeX understands virtual fonts. Also, make sure TeX knows how to read input files from both the current and parent directories. In addtion to TeX, you'll also need Perl (widely available) and the file fontinst.sty (available from CTAN). 1. Make a vfinst directory. Place all the vfinst files into this directory. 2. CAREFULLY adjust the parameters in the file vfinst.par to apply to your system. 3. Make a work directory within this directory. DO ALL YOUR WORK WITHIN THIS WORK DIRECTORY. 4. Place all the afm + pfb files for the fonts you want to install into the work directory. 5. Execute the command `perl ../1vfinst' from within the work directory. 6. Execute the command `perl ../2vfinst' from within the work directory. 7. Follow the directions which appear on your console. These directions are amplified in the file `vfinst.tex', an ordinary LaTeX file which is part of vfinst. ---Alan Hoenig (author) ajhjj@cunyvm.cuny.edu
