Subject: Re: newly downloaded font problem
Are you sure you ran texhash or Miktex Options, update of database?
Nope, I did not. Shame on me?
"... since failing to run texhash is a frequent
cause of a newly installed font not working."
Thanks again,
JeeBee.

Well, you could use a Google search with keywords
texhash install fonts
and see if there is agreement in the instructions about using texhash
or Miktex Options->Refresh now. For instance in Paul Rubin's link:
"Things should work ok if you install the fonts into the texmf or
localtexmf directory trees. See, for instance,
http://www.radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm (scroll down to the section
"Installation of fonts for TeX and LaTeX")."
------------------------------------------------------- that section ends
with:
"Now we have to update databases:
Start=>Programs=>MiKTeX=>Maintenance=>Refresh Filename Database"
SH: The equivalent Linux command to update the fndb is texhash. I also see
updmap mentioned in the documentation fairly frequently:
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/updmap.1.html
updmap is a utility that creates font configuration files for dvips(1),
pdftex(1), xdvi(1), ps2pk(1), gsftopk(1), dvipdfm(1) and (soon)
dvipdfmx(1). In an ideal world, updmap would be unnecessary -- each of
these programs would read the same configuration file to learn
what
fonts are available and how they should be treated. As things
stand,
however, each of these tools has subtly different requirements
and
thereby needs its own font configuration file. updmap creates
font
configuration files for all of these programs from a single
source,
allowing you to easily keep all the different configuration files in
sync.

People who think they are smart design program procedures and write
documentation to describe it. Often that is not how a truly smart person
imagines that it ought to be done; thus it behooves him to discover the
facts of reality and which levels work in common and are not subjectively
unique.
