dear robin---I understand, but I need to give it a try anyway *with*
the Karl Berry naming translations, of course. I have no choice: I
need to get certain new fonts installed on my system. and, yes, I wish
I did not need it.<br>
<br>
Note that I do not need all generality. I want to stick to our texlive
distribution and standard postscript fonts only.<br>
<br>
of all the guides to font installation on the web (I found about 5),
which is the most definitive and straightforward (least nuances for odd
fonts)? I need to be able to install one font from start to end, so
that I can get started with some script.<br>
<br>

as you've been told on c.t.t (i think it was), if the answer were
simple, such a script would already have been written.
font installation (for use with dvips/pdftex/dvipdfm) is pretty
nightmarish, and the matter's rendered worse by the file naming issue
(you *really* don't want to use a font foundry's name for a pfb file,
and you've already been told the value of using the standard berry
scheme).
