<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">TeX only sees metrics, so whatever your fonts look like doesn't matter for TeX. I would advise you to take existing math fonts, convert them into outlines using some tool (like Fontographer or Fontlab), while keeping the same metrics so that you can use the same TeX metrics (cmmi10, cmsy10, etc.), only change their names so there is no conflict. If you have to enlarge glyphs then you will have to modify the metric files (by transforming TFM into PL), be careful to keep all the font parameters including NUM*, DENOM*, BIGOPSPACING*, NEXTLARGER, etc. otherwise the math stuff will not work. <div><br></div><div>So, to keep it short: what makes a math font being "math" is the existence of extra values in the metric files, the glyphs can be arbitrary. If you take existing math fonts and transform their glyphs without changing their widths then you can keep the same metric files with different names.</div><div><br></div><div>If you have other questions don't hesitate to ask</div><div><div><br><div><div>Le 14 févr. 09 à 09:32, <a href="mailto:totoon@bluewin.ch">totoon@bluewin.ch</a> a écrit :</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi,<br><br>I have this question:<br>I am an artist and I have this ID with Math fonts.<br><br>Now I want to generate Math fonts with Plaintex for later use but for<br>technical reasons these need to be made as Outline fonts!<br>(see example {arialichollow} below)<br><br>Question:<br>Is it possible to generate 'Outline fonts' in PlainTex?<br>Could you give some directions to do this ?<br><br>Thanks in advance<br><br>Best Regards<br><br>Anthony Hartogs<br>Switserland<br><br><span><pastedGraphic.tiff></span><br>_______________________________________________<br>TeX FAQ: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq">http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq</a><br>Mailing list archives: <a href="http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/">http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/</a><br>More links: <a href="http://tug.org/begin.html">http://tug.org/begin.html</a><br><br>Automated subscription management: <a href="http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texhax">http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texhax</a><br>Human mailing list managers: <a href="mailto:postmaster@tug.org">postmaster@tug.org</a></div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
