The.fon font files are also used by Windows.
I know of no way to use this font format with FreeBSD. Ghostscript.pfa,.pfb,.ttf X11.pfa,.pfb Groff.pfa,.afm Povray.ttf The.fnt suffix is used quite frequently. I suspect that whenever someone wanted to create a specialized font file for their application, more often than not they chose this suffix. Therefore, it is likely that files with this suffix are not all the same format; specifically, the.fnt files used by syscons under FreeBSD may not be the same format as a.fnt file one encounters in the MS-DOS®/ Windows® environment. I have not made any attempt at using other.fnt files other than those provided with FreeBSD.
5. Using type 1 fonts with X11 X11 can use either the.pfa or the.pfb format fonts. The X11 fonts are located in various subdirectories under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts.
Each font file is cross referenced to its X11 name by the contents of the fonts.dir file in each directory. There is already a directory named Type1. The most straight forward way to add a new font is to put it into this directory. A better way is to keep all new fonts in a separate directory and use a symbolic link to the additional font. This allows one to more easily keep track of ones fonts without confusing them with the fonts that were originally provided. Create a directory to contain the font files% mkdir -p /usr/local/share/fonts/type1% cd /usr/local/share/fonts/type1 Place the.pfa,.pfb and.afm files here One might want to keep readme files, and other documentation for the fonts here also% cp /cdrom/fonts/atm/showboat/showboat.pfb.% cp /cdrom/fonts/atm/showboat/showboat.afm. Maintain an index to cross reference the fonts% echo showboat - InfoMagic CICA, Dec 1994, /fonts/atm/showboat INDEX Now, to use a new font with X11, one must make the font file available and update the font name files.
The X11 font names look like. Bitstream-charter-medium-r-normal-xxx-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 +-+- character set +- average width +- spacing +- vertical res.
+- horizontal res. +- points +- pixels foundry family weight slant width additional style A new name needs to be created for each new font. If you have some information from the documentation that accompanied the font, then it could serve as the basis for creating the name. If there is no information, then you can get some idea by using on the font file. Foundry Lets just name all the new fonts type1. Family The name of the font. Weight Normal, bold, medium, semibold, etc.
From the output above, it appears that this font has a weight of medium. Slant roman, italic, oblique, etc. Since the ItalicAngle is zero, roman will be used. Width Normal, wide, condensed, extended, etc.
Until it can be examined, the assumption will be normal. Additional style Usually omitted, but this will indicate that the font contains decorative capital letters. Spacing proportional or monospaced.
Proportional is used since isFixedPitch is false. All of these names are arbitrary, but one should strive to be compatible with the existing conventions. A font is referenced by name with possible wild cards by an X11 program, so the name chosen should make some sense. One might begin by simply using. Make the font accessible to X11% cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1% ln -s /usr/local/share/fonts/type1/showboat.pfb.

Using type 1 fonts with Groff Now that the new font can be used by both X11 and Ghostscript, how can one use the new font with groff? First of all, since we are dealing with type 1 PostScript® fonts, the groff device that is applicable is the ps device.
A font file must be created for each font that groff can use. A groff font name is just a file in /usr/share/grofffont/devps. With our example, the font file could be /usr/share/grofffont/devps/SHOWBOAT. The file must be created using tools provided by groff. The first tool is afmtodit. This is not normally installed, so it must be retrieved from the source distribution.
I found I had to change the first line of the file, so I did. Many.afm files are in Mac format ^M delimited lines We need to convert them to UNIX® style ^J delimited lines% cd /tmp% cat /usr/local/share/fonts/type1/showboat.afm tr ' 015' ' 012' showboat.afm Now create the groff font file% cd /usr/share/grofffont/devps% /tmp/afmtodit.pl -d DESC -e text.enc /tmp/showboat.afm generate/textmap SHOWBOAT The font can now be referenced with the name SHOWBOAT. If Ghostscript is used to drive the printers on the system, then nothing more needs to be done. However, if true PostScript® printers are used, then the font must be downloaded to the printer in order for the font to be used (unless the printer happens to have the showboat font built in or on an accessible font disk.) The final step is to create a downloadable font.
The pfbtops tool is used to create the.pfa format of the font, and the download file is modified to reference the new font. The download file must reference the internal name of the font. This can easily be determined from the groff font file as illustrated. % cd /tmp% cat example.t example.ps To use ghostscript/ghostview% ghostview example.ps To print it% lpr -Ppostscript example.ps References: /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/afmtodit/afmtodit.man,.
GSTTF.PS. PF2AFM.PS. ttf2pf.ps The funny upper/lower case is due to their being intended also for DOS shells. Ttf2pf.ps makes use of the others as upper case, so any renaming must be consistent with this. (Actually, GSTTF.PS and PFS2AFM.PS are supposedly part of the Ghostscript distribution, but it is just as easy to use these as an isolated utility.
FreeBSD does not seem to include the latter.) You also may want to have these installed to /usr/local/share/grofffont/devps(?). Afmtodit Creates font files for use with groff from ascii font metrics file. This usually resides in the directory, /usr/src/contrib/groff/afmtodit, and requires some work to get going. Create the.afm file by typing:% gs -dNODISPLAY -q - ttf2pf.ps TTFname PSfontname AFMname Where, TTFname is your TrueType font file, PSfontname is the file name for the.pfa file, AFMname is the name you wish for the.afm file.
If you do not specify output file names for the.pfa or.afm files, then default names will be generated from the TrueType font file name. This also produces a.pfa file, the ascii PostScript font metrics file (.pfb is for the binary form). This will not be needed, but could (I think) be useful for a fontserver.
For example, to convert the 30f9 Barcode font using the default file names, use the following command:% gs -dNODISPLAY - ttf2pf.ps 3of9.ttf Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 (1997-11-23) Copyright (C) 1997 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA. All rights reserved.
This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details. Converting 3of9.ttf to 3of9.pfa and 3of9.afm. If you want the converted fonts to be stored in A.pfa and B.afm, then use this command:% gs -dNODISPLAY - ttf2pf.ps 3of9.ttf A B Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 (1997-11-23) Copyright (C) 1997 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA. All rights reserved. This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
Converting 3of9.ttf to A.pfa and B.afm. Create the groff PostScript file: Change directories to /usr/share/grofffont/devps so as to make the following command easier to execute.
You will probably need root privileges for this. (Or, if you are paranoid about working there, make sure you reference the files DESC, text.enc and generate/textmap as being in this directory.)% afmtodit -d DESC -e text.enc file.afm generate/textmap PSfontname Where, file.afm is the AFMname created by ttf2pf.ps above, and PSfontname is the font name used from that command, as well as the name that will use for references to this font. For example, assuming you used the first tiff2pf.ps command above, then the 3of9 Barcode font can be created using the command:% afmtodit -d DESC -e text.enc 3of9.afm generate/textmap 3of9 Ensure that the resulting PSfontname file (e.g., 3of9 in the example above) is located in the directory /usr/share/grofffont/devps by copying or moving it there. Note that if ttf2pf.ps assigns a font name using the one it finds in the TrueType font file and you want to use a different name, you must edit the.afm file prior to running afmtodit.
This name must also match the one used in the Fontmap file if you wish to pipe into. 9. Can TrueType fonts be used with other programs?
The TrueType font format is used by Windows, Windows 95, and Mac's. It is quite popular and there are a great number of fonts available in this format. Unfortunately, there are few applications that I am aware of that can use this format: Ghostscript and Povray come to mind. Ghostscript's support, according to the documentation, is rudimentary and the results are likely to be inferior to type 1 fonts. Povray version 3 also has the ability to use TrueType fonts, but I rather doubt many people will be creating documents as a series of raytraced pages:-). This rather dismal situation may soon change. The is currently developing a useful set of FreeType tools.
