<pre wrap="">By the way, for plain TeX users the road is only slightly more bumpy:
t1pbsi.sty inputs pbsi.fd, which has the lines
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pbsi}{xl}{n}{
<-> s * [1.2] pbsi8t
}{}
Thus the following should work - and it does!
\font \myfont = pbsi8t
</pre>

OK, so now we know that as well as its plain text name,
BrushScriptX-Italic is also known to TeX as "pbsi8t". A quick
search using Voidtools 'Everything' reveals that TeX Live 2021
contains, in addition to the aforementioned, t1pbsi.fd, pbsi.sty,
pbsi8t.vf, pbsi8t.tfm, pbsi8r.tfm, pbsi.tfm, pbsi.map and
config.pbsi. Strangely, it does <i>not</i> contain "t1pbsi.sty",
wherein Boris found a reference to "pbsi.fd", and indeed my entire
32TB disc farm does not contain a file of that name, nor does it
contain Boris' "pbsi.fd". Perhaps these are specific to Unix
installations — I wot not. <br>
<br>
So, might it be an idea to augment the LaTeX Font Catalogue to give
the TeX-specific names for the listed fonts, as well as their
canonical names ?<br>
