I got the zip from ctan[2] I made ~/texmf/fonts/tfm/ unziped capbas to make ~/texmf/fonts/tfm/capbas/ [2.5] ran texhash, which gave little output [3] run (lyx) Tools -> Reconfigure shutdown lyx lyx testfont.lyx try (lyx) View -> DVI and get "LaTeX Error: File `d7seg.sty' not found"
OK, I agree the file does not exist... how do I get it?I hope at worst it is some metafont incantation that must be done, because I obviously know nothing of how to create a style let alone one for a font.
and don't even see one with find /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/ -name "*.sty" to copy and mess up.or is it as simple as, fonts can ONLY be in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/ and not in ~/texmf/fonts/ ????
[1] http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/dseg/Yes it's ugly, for normal reading, but that is what the operator will see on the 7 segment display that is in front of him/her. :)
[2] http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/capbas/ [2.5] also cp ~/texmf/fonts/tfm/capbas/* ~/texmf/fonts/ and ran texhash [3] texhash texhash: Updating /home/myhomedir/texmf/ls-R... texhash: /usr/share/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping... texhash: /usr/share/texmf-config: directory not writable. Skipping... texhash: /usr/share/texmf-var: directory not writable. Skipping... texhash: /var/lib/texmf/ls-R: no write permission. Skipping... texhash: Done.Note, I'll also take hints on how to actually use the font on just some selected text in an otherwise palatino document, after we can get LyX/LaTeX to recognize the new font.
