vftool for Debian
-----------------

This is a tool to generate VF files for dvi2ps/dvi2dvi and you can use
PostScript fonts and/or TrueType fonts etc. in your TeX files with the
VF files.

Assume, for example, that you want to use new font "foo" in your TeX file.

- It might be easiest to copy /usr/share/vftool to somewhere in your
working directory.

- You should "mkdir tfm" and put foo.tfm there.  Usually, for Japanese fonts,
it is enough to copy the standard min*.tfm/tmin*.tfm to foo*.tfm/tfoo*.tfm
In some case, you might want to copy goth*.tfm/tgoth*.tfm to foo*.tfm/tfoo*.tfm

- You should modify "bkfonts", "vbkfonts" and "vsyfonts" in Makefile.  
In this point, you should determine the (fake) PS font name.  Let call it 
"bar" here.

bk-std = std \
	bar:foo:monokan

will generate bar.vf, bar.tfm and foo*.vf (* = 5,6,7,8,9,10).

vbk-std = std \
	bar:barv:barvsy

vsy-std = std \
	bar:barvsy

will generate barv.vf and barvsy.vf

Then you should

- install these VF files in $TEXMF/fonts/vf/some/where and TFM files in 
$TEXMF/fonts/tfm/else/where

- map "bar" to a resident PS font or VFlib name of some TrueType font.
The way to do this depends on drivers.
