Hi,

it would be easier to help if you don't just say you didn't get it, tell us instead what difficulties you exactly encountered, at which point of the installation you had problems. Your question is so general as if you want a completely rewritten installation manual instead of the package documentation.

Hi

I am trying to install winfonts.
Read me document asked me to do this.

0) First, the winfonts package could be already installed on your
system. Use the Miktex Package Manager to know if it is the case.

1) Unzip the file winfonts.zip on your local texmf tree (for example
"c:\localtexmf")
[I created a new directory c:\texmf

2) If you haven't create yet a local version of the file updmap.cfg
you should do that now. Consult the file

Code: Select all

${TEXMF}/miktex/config/updmap.cfg

and follow the instructions given.

Now add the following line at the end of your local version of
updmap.cfg:

Code: Select all

Map winfonts.map

3) If you haven't create yet a local version of the file ttf2pk.cfg,
you should do that now. Create the file

Code: Select all

${LOCALTEXMF}/ttf2tfm/ttf2pk.cfg

and add the line

Code: Select all

map ttfonts.map

Append to this file the line:

Code: Select all

map +winfonts_ttf2tfm.map

I followed these two instructions.
4) Refresh the file name database using "Miktex Options".
Now I opened this MIkTex options also. But I don't know how to update this and run the utility. Can somebody help me
5) Run the utility updmap.

6) Enjoy! The fonts are now available in your document with the
command \fontfamily followed by \selectfont. For example

Code: Select all

\fontfamily{verdana}\selectfont

to typeset your document with Verdana.

The documentation is in the directory:

Code: Select all

doc/latex/winfonts
