[comp.fonts] PostScript font to TeX

avinash@contex.UUCP (Avinash Chopde) (01/09/91)

   I'm either missing something quite simple, or what I wish to
   do is impossible.

   This is what I'm trying to do: I will be generating a new
   font on the Mac, it will be in the PostScript format.

   Now, my problem lies in using that font with TeX.

***I can generate the tfm file, how do I generate the pk (or gf)
***files so that I may print the .dvi files ?

   One possible answer will be to use the virtual fonts, etc, and
   let the font remain as a PostScript font; use the dvips mentioned in the
   comp.text.tex FAQ which allows direct use of PostScript fonts in TeX.

   Is there any easier method ?
   (Using the new dvips requires new tfm files, and possibly the latest
   TeX too, I am currently using an old version.)
   Hopefully, there are other methods available.
   Loss of quality (a bit, at least) is acceptable.
