====== Installing a Type 1 font ======


Once you have a prepared Type(nbsp)1 font, either direct from CTAN or the like,
or having [[5_fichiers:fontes:preparer_une_fonte_t1|"prepared" it yourself]],
you can get on with installation.

The procedure is merely an extension of that for packages, etc., so
much of what follows will be familiar:

  * **Install the files**, in your local ''texmf'' tree (the advice about installing non-standard things applies here, too).  The following list gives reasonable destinations for the various files related to a font family ''⟨//fname//⟩'':

^  Extension  ^  Path  ^
| ''.pfb'', ''.pfa''  | ''.../fonts/type1/⟨//foundry//⟩/⟨//fname//⟩''  |
| ''.tfm''            | ''.../fonts/tfm/⟨//foundry//⟩/⟨//fname//⟩''    |
| ''.vf''             | ''.../fonts/vf/⟨//foundry//⟩/⟨//fname//⟩''     |
| ''.sty'', ''.fd''   | ''.../tex/latex/⟨//fname//⟩''                  |
| ''.map''            | ''.../fonts/map/dvips/⟨//foundry//⟩''          |

but if you are lucky, you will be starting from a distribution from
CTAN and there is a corresponding ''tds.zip'' file:
using this TDS-file saves the bother of deciding where to put
your files in the TDS tree.

  * **Regenerate the file indexes** (as described in [[5_fichiers:installer_des_fichiers_pour_latex|package installation]]):

  * **Update the maps** for ''dvips'', pdfTeX and others:

On any current TeX Live-based system, or a teTeX v3.0 system, execute the command
<code bash>
updmap-sys --enable Map ⟨fname⟩.map
</code>
as root.  (If you //can// use ''updmap-sys'' --- do; if
not --- presumably because your (La)TeX system was set up by
someone else --- you have to fall back on plain ''updmap'',
but be aware that it's a potent source of confusion, setting up
map sets that might be changed behind your back.)

On a current MiKTeX system, update the system file ''updmap.cfg'', using the shell command
<code bash>
initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
</code>
adding a line at the end:
<code text>
Map ⟨fname⟩.map
</code>
for each font family ⟨//fname//⟩ you are adding to the system.
Now generate revised maps with the shell command
<code bash>
    initexmf --mkmaps
</code>

This, and other matters, are described in MiKTeX
[[http://docs.miktex.org/manual/advanced.html|"advanced" documentation]].

Both processes (preparing and installing a font) are very well (and thoroughly)
described in Philipp Lehman's [[ctanpkg>fontinstallationguide|guide to font installation]].
