Re: fontname question: supplier letter for microsoft truetype fonts
there are a number of free truetype fonts distributed by microsoft:
see, e.g.,
http://www.microsoft.com/typography
With the help of ttf2tfm and then either ttf2pk or directly pdftex,
one can happily use all these fonts in any custom TeX font encoding.
These fonts include a significant subset of unicode sufficient for
most european, cyrillic and greek languages.
I wonder, what should be a canonical letter for the supplier of these
fonts in the K.Berry's fontname scheme? I seemed to fail to find there
any mentions about m$. :-)
Most of them already have an appropriate name (e.g. Antqua[bi].ttf == Book
Antiqua family from Monotype == maq).
I'm working on NFSS support for these files to include it into my
ttf2pk package. After I've done this I'll upload it to
CTAN.
Interested people can already check it on
