1 This directory contains ttf2tfm and ttf2pk, two utilities based on
3 afm2tfm (dvipsk distribution),
4 gsftopkk (dvipsk distribution),
5 and the FreeType rasterizer for TrueType fonts.
8 Compile the FreeType library first! It is recommended to use the kpathsea
9 library if you want to use the programs with web2c resp. teTeX. Source files
10 for emTeX-like search routines are included; similarly, support for MiKTeX
11 file searching routines is available if `MIKTEX' is defined during
12 compilation. Nevertheless, as a last resort, you can compile both programs
13 without a search library too.
15 The kpathsea library is *not* part of the ttf2pk package (see notes below).
19 Under UNIX-like systems say
21 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/TeX --with-kpathsea-dir=<DIR>
25 for a normal compilation and installation. Replace `/usr/local/TeX' with a
26 path to your TeX distribution.
30 Try to find `libkpathsea.*' on your system. Use the directory above this
31 one as the argument for --with-kpathsea-dir. This should work in most
32 cases. If you can't find the library, you probably have a web2c package
33 with statically linked binaries. This means that you have to get the web2c
34 sources from CTAN, configure it with something like
36 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/TeX --datadir=/usr/local/TeX \
37 --enable-shared --disable-static
39 according to your setup; then change to the kpathsea directory and say
40 `make' and `make install' (Do the latter with caution not to overwrite
41 binaries like kpsewhich).
43 It even works with the source tree from the TeX Live CD 3! You just have
44 to add a proper --srcdir option to the configure script.
46 Unfortunately, teTeX-0.4 uses a very old kpathsea library version without
47 automatical shared-library support, thus you have to install the static
50 .) unpack the sources (basically you need only the contents of kpse-2.6
51 and the two subdirs `kpathsea' and `make'.
55 ./configure --prefix=...
58 in the kpse-2.6 directory
64 in the kpathsea subdirectory. See Note 2 also.
66 DON'T USE A NEWER KPATHSEA VERSION IF YOU USE teTeX 0.4 BINARIES! Newer
67 kpathsea versions are not compatible with version 2.6.
70 It seems that c-auto.h created during the kpathsea library compiling
71 process won't be installed for some older web2c versions. You should add
72 it manually, i.e., copy <web2c source tree>/kpathsea/c-auto.h to the
73 location where the other kpathsea header files have been installed.
76 If you want to use the --srcdir option of the configure script, you must
77 compile FreeType with --srcdir too. You have to use the same directory
78 structure to make it work (i.e., if you have said for FreeType
79 `./configure --srcdir=foo', and you are in the `bar' directory, FreeType's
80 configure script will generate all the needed subdirs for compiling
81 FreeType. You've then manually to add the directory `bar/contrib/ttf2pk';
82 there you should start to say ./configure --srcdir=foo/contrib/ttf2pk').]
86 Use Makefile.dm for emx + dmake and say
88 dmake -r -f Makefile.dm
90 [Note: It should work with djgpp too, but I haven't tested this.]
93 ttf2pk and ttf2tfm are already part of MiKTeX.
