The best solution for adding new font families is to use Mittelbach and Schoepf's new font selection scheme (see TUGboat 11#1 pp.91--7). This will be available from the ymir.claremont.edu archive in the near future. UK users will find them installed in the UK TeX archive already. I would add that M & S have a demonstration of how Concrete can be used, and I have added some suggestions for PostScript fonts to the distribution at Aston. Also some suggestions for SliTeX. (I knew the answer, I just didn't feel like telling anyone.) ditto Sebastian

FTP from sol.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5], file pub/TEX/latexstyle/fontsel.zoo. Or ask from mail-server@cs.ruu.nl by sending the message: send TEX/latexstyle/fontsel.zoo end (send a HELP message first if this is your first access) In the same directory I have style files to use postscript fonts. I have updated these to work both with the old LaTeX font selection scheme as well as the new one. The style files are: times.sty times+m.sty palatino.sty bookman.sty ncs.sty psfonts.sty psmath.sty (these two are the work horses, the others just give parameters to these). -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O.
