TeX Font Guide I had a most unpleasant time coaxing TeX to work with the postscript fonts on my computer. While all the necessary information is in principle contained in several excellent references on TeX, LaTeX, and dvips, these tended toward such exhaustive elucidations of the relevent commands and tools that I had trouble extracting what I wanted: the simple understanding necessary to get my TeX installation working with my fonts. These web pages are my attempt at making the lives of those who wish to trod this rewarding path after me less frustrating. |
