Dear list members,
after struggling in vain with vfinst, recipes in Alan Hoenig's book
and fontinst yesterday I succeeded in installing my URW Garamond fonts
with oldstyle figures and expert fonts by investigating in the list
archives and piecing and patching up a fontinst install file from
postings by Lars Hellström, Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren and others.
There is only one thing which is missing to my full happiness: the
digits in the italic font don't have an oldstyle type (no italic
small caps at all), so when I want to italicize some numerals, they
are entirely absent in the output.
I hope someone can look at my install file and give me a hint how I
can get to the ordinary italic figures. Here it is:
