That is very useful information, Bob, and it would not have occurred
to me to click on the name of the font in order to learn more, but I
am somewhat disappointed to find that the additional information
provided is predicated on the use of a font-specific package —<br>

<h3>Usage</h3>
<pre>\usepackage{pbsi}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Whilst this adequately addresses the question of "how is one
intended to use the font 'BrushScriptX-Italic'", it does not address
Rolf's more general point of "how does one use an arbitrary font
selected at random from the LaTeX Font Catalogue". Since
BrushScriptX-Italic is provided as an AFM/PFA pair, a more general
answer would have addressed how one can use <i>any</i> font
provided only in these formats, but to conceal the details in a
package "pbsi" without documenting how the desired aim is
accomplished is not as helpful as it might be ...<br>
