[comp.sys.amiga.applications] Help with pastex: part 2 and apologies and gratitude

widyono@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Daniel Widyono) (04/21/91)

Hi again.  Sorry for the vagueness of the last post but here is a better
	offer I hope:

Once again, I have an Amiga 2000 with a 40MB GVP HD, 1MB Chip, 2MB
Fast.  This is my fontlib directory, where the files PK%04d are my
newly-created fontlibraries using the program flib supplied with
PasTeX.

Directory of Projects:TeX/fontlib
PK0091 pk0100 PK0109 PK0110 PK0120 PK0131 PK0300 PK0329 PK0360 PK0432 PK0518

This is a sample FLIB T PK0091 output, which someone requested in response
to the original post:

cmbx10.91pk cmbx5.91pk cmbx7.91pk cmcsc10.91pk cmex10.91pk cmmi10.91pk 
cmmi5.91pk cmmi7.91pk cmr10.91pk cmr5.91pk cmr7.91pk cmsl10.91pk cmss10.91pk
cmssbx10.91pk cmssi10.91pk cmsy10.91pk cmsy5.91pk cmsy7.91pk cmti10.91pk
cmtt10.91pk

The fontlibs are fine according to FLIB; I tested them, extracted
them, no problems. Someone (lost the posting, sorry) had also told me
to try changing the .cnf files.  I mistakenly thought he was talking
about the .tfm files which I thought were the original problem.  I
already tried altering the .cnf files to point to TeX:fontlib (where
TeX: is assigned to Projects:TeX as above). Here is
TeX:config/showdvi.fnt:

flibenv		TeX:fontlib
pkenv		TeX:pk
flib_str	PK%4d
pk_str		%d/%s.%dpk

so flib_str is assigned correctly according to the docs (i.e. PK0518 for
518 pk fonts).  It seems that showdvi can find the regular pk fonts:

Directory of Projects:TeX/pk/83:
   cmbx10.83pk
   cmr10.83pk
   cmtt10.83pk

Directory of Projects:TeX/pk/100:
   a lot of pk files ;)

Thanks to those who already replied (I'm sorry, there was a glitch in
my account, I lost the file with some replies - though many were
posts, so thanks to those people too in previous csa.app postings).
Also thanks to George Withers, who directed me on the ways of gf2pk (I
managed to save his post): apparently, I need to run it with the
original gf files in TeX:fonts.

NOTE: this all pertains to PasTeX on ab20; gf files are font files in a
   certain format which I needed to convert to the well known pk files.  
   Sorry for the confusion and the brief vague original post.

Disclaimer:  I never know how much to say, so I said more this time;
   hopefully someone with PasTeX knows what I'm talking about: I can't
   get ShowDVI to find my newly-created FONTLIB files.  It can find the
   original PK files.  Thanks for any help, in advance.

PS: To not waste bandwidth with another separate posting, does anyone
	happen to know what happened to the regular updating of FILES.Z
	at ab20?  Also, what happened to /amiga/graphics/images/ ?

That's not correct !!!
In the flib's should be only the font names.
I.e. cmbx10 cmbx5 cmbx7 cmcsc10 ...
So you must rename the pk-files bevore you put them into the flib archives.

                  ^^^ %04d !!
|pk_str		%d/%s.%dpk

These four lines are all the default entries. So you can delete they.

That's right.

Is the name of the pk-files i.e.:
	cmr10.100pk  ?

If you set the resolution of ShowDVI to 100dpi, the fonts in TeX:pk/100
should be found.

If you unpack the PasTeX1.2a archives, and set the TeX: assign correct,
there should be enough fonts, to preview the docs.

    Hope that help's,
	Georg.
