On Mon, 15 Mar 2010, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the installfont package. Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family License type: lppl Announcement text:
With this script you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). At least the four basic cuts + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.3: - added installfont-tl for TeXLive (thanks to Christoph Bier) - added support for Truetype (needs ttf2pt1) and Opentype fonts (needs otftotfm (LCDF Typetools) and pf2afm (Ghostscript)) - added evaluation of command line options - added an uninstall option - added support for installation as \rmdefault, \sfdefault or \ttdefault - Bugfix: automatic renaming failed if installfont was in working directory - Bugfix: changed \setstretch (setspace) to \linespread (option leading)

installfont – A bash script for installing a font family

With this script you can install a font family (PostScript Type 1, TrueType and OpenType formats are supported). Font series from light to ultra bold, and (faked) small caps and (faked) slanted shapes are supported, but not expert fonts.

The script will rename the fonts automatically (optional) or will otherwise expect the *.afm files and the font files (in PostScript Type1 format) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local tree.
