Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ winfonts | Installation in a local TeXmf Tree

[eikichi91]

Can someone explain this installation guide for me? Installation is described in the README file. I want to know where I can find the local texmf tree.

I have posted the same query. After struggling with this for 15 days I finally found how to solve this.
http://ctan.imsc.res.in/fonts/winfonts/README

1. First create a new folder in C:
C:\Programfiles\Texmf
2. Then for some reasons I was not able to unzip the contents directly to c:\programfiles\texmf. So I unzipped that to my desktop and there were 4 folders named doc, fonts,tex and ttf2ttm
3. then copied all these 4 folders to c:\programfiles\texmf
4. Then go to command prompt. go to c:\programfiles(CD.. will change the directory)
5. type in initexmf --edit-config-file udpmap
6. A notepad will open automatically. Type in Map winfonts.map
7.Save the file and close the notepad.
8.Then again in the command prompt type in initexmf -u
9. This will take few seconds to update
10. Finally go t START->ALL PROGRAMS->MIKTEX 2.9->MAINTENANCE->SETTINGS->ROOTS
11.Select the second TAB ROOTS. There down if you see there is an option called ADD. Click and select c:\programfiles\texmf and click apply.
12. Then go to first TAB in ROOTS which is GENERAL and click REFRESH FNDB AND UPDATE FORMATS.

that's it. now you can compile with winfonts. same can be done for any fonts.
try this code

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepcakge[T1]{fontenc}
\usepcakge{winfonts}
\begin{document}
\fontfamily{arial}\selectfont Arial \normalfont\\

\fontfamily{times-ttf}\selectfont times \normalfont\\
\end{document}

Hello. I actually followed the steps you gave, and created the following file using TeXnicCenter and compiled using PDFLaTeX.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{winfonts}
\fontfamily{trebuchet}\selectfont

\begin{document}
abcdefg
\end{document}

But the PDF file does not implement "trebuchet", just the same as the default Computer Modern.

Did I miss something? Or something is missing with the steps you gave?


Thanks.

Try \fontfamily after \begin{document}
