Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Postscript font installation via fontinst problem

[mboeije]

Hi,
I'm new to Tex and I've been trying to install a font. I've not been successful, even after reading 4 manuals. This is what I have done:

renamed the .afm and .pfb files of my font family (Vendetta) to Berry's scheme:
fveb8a (for bold)
fver7f8a (for light figures)
fver8a (for light)
fverc8a (for light small caps)
fveri8a (for light italics)
fvem7f8a (for medium figures)
fvem8a (for medium)
fvemi8a (for medium italics)
And there were some additional files (like VendettaBoldLiningFigs but I could not place them in the naming scheme)

Then i ran this file: (located in miktex/tex/fontinst/base)
\input fontinst.sty
\needsfontinstversion{1.926}
\recordtransforms{fve-rec.tex}
\latinfamily{fve}{}
\endrecordtransforms
\bye
And that resulted in 4 .fd files and no pl or vpl files.
Does anyone know what went wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Maurits

I suggest to download the Vendetta font in TTF format, install it as system font and use it via XeLaTeX.
