Hi,
I want to use LyX to write a monography of my own on Hebrew grammar. My
question is how to insert a certain
symbol from a certain font? I've found that I need to use LaTeX code
like \font\cs=<fontname> at 10pt e. g.
but it doesn't work for some reason. For example, I have a font in a
file tiberi.ttf, its name is SPTiberian.
But putting \font\cs=SPTiberian at xxpt or \font\cs=tiberi.ttf at xxpt
gives out an error, something like
'the font is not found'. The font is properly installed on my Linux
machine, is seen by all other
applications. What should I do?
I'm using LyX version 1.3.4, SuSe Linux 9.2.
As soon as I can gather, in order to use a specific font I must generate
font metrics with the utility ttf2tfm or something like that (actually, I
found ttf2afm and afm2tfm - don't know if this can make up for ttf2tfm).Is
it really that necessary or is there any other way? The worst is that I
hardly have a clue as to what to do, how to properly generate a tfm-file
and where to put it. I don't even know if I'm astray or not. Where can I
find more information?
