I use pzc fonts, largely because it is convenient to have lower case as
well as caps (otherwise \cal would be acceptable). My paper is being
published in an online journal and the editor does not have pzc installed
and is uncertain how to do it. When I asked him what his installation was
I got this reply:
I have the standard tex implementation on cygwin. It's a unix emulator.
so it's the unix tex distribution compiled to run on a PC.
Here, in part, is my fd file:
\DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{pzc}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}%
{<-> s * [1.100] pzcmi7t}{}
I assume that this is basically a 7pt font, but to enlarge by 1.4 would
be too much. After some experiment, I decided that magnification by 1.1
looked good. I have files
\MiKTeX 2.7\fonts\vf\adobe\zapfchan\pzcmi7t.vf
\MiKTeX 2.7\fonts\tfm\adobe\zapfchan\pzcmi7t.tfm
in my miktex distribution. Can anyone tell me where these files should go
for his cygwin distribution?
