Hello
I am not an experienced fontinst expert, but I do have some questions
which I have not found answered in the documentation:
I have some Bitstream fonts (PFB+AFM) which are "variants", e.g.
bhvrt8a.afm Helvetica Monospaced
bhvbl8ac.afm Helvetica Condensed Outline
etc.
My questions are:
1) What \latinfamily commands do I need to create the necessary vpl, mtx
and
.pl files.
2) How to use these fonts (I use the nfss) ?
I could of course create a "new" font, e.g. yyyr8a instead of bhvrt8a.
But
I want to use the *shape* changing commands in nfss.
Any hints, tips, suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Felix
