Installing Additional Fonts

You can install additional Type 1 fonts on your system. Impressario has access to these fonts if the following conditions are met:

  • The fonts are in Adobe Type 1 format.

  • The outlines for the fonts are located in the directory /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base.

  • The font metric files are located in the directory /usr/lib/DPS/AFM.

Impressario provides two font installation programs and one font conversion utility. The programs can be found in /usr/sbin.

The installation program installpcfonts lets you install Adobe Font Pack fonts from 3.5" IBM PC format floppy disks. See the installpcfonts(1) man page for information on this program.

The installation program installfoliofonts lets you install Adobe FontFolio fonts from CD-ROM. See the installfoliofonts(1) man page for information on this program.

The font conversion utility unixfont lets you convert Adobe Type 1 font files between various formats. See the unixfont man page for information on this utility.

Note: The font installation programs are provided as “giftware” and are not supported by Silicon Graphics.
