fontinst

[Werner Struckmann]

I've just installed fontinst v1.8.  Please allow me two questions.

1. How can I handle ``symbol fonts'', i. e. there just one font and
   no special encoding has to be done. An example of this is
   the symbol font included in the standard 35 postscript fonts.

2. There seems to be a minor bug. If I do 

   \input fontinst.sty

   \transformfont{ptmrrn8r}{\reencodefont{8r}{\xscalefont{750}{\fromafm{ptmr8a}}}}
   \transformfont{ptmrre8r}{\reencodefont{8r}{\xscalefont{1250}{\fromafm{ptmr8a}}}}

   \installfonts

     \latinfamily{ptm}{}

     \installfont{ptmrrn8t}{ptmrrn8r,latin}{T1}{T1}{ptm}{mc}{n}{}
     \installfont{ptmrrn7t}{ptmrrn8r,latin}{OT1}{OT1}{ptm}{mc}{n}{}

     \installfont{ptmrre8t}{ptmrre8r,latin}{T1}{T1}{ptm}{mx}{n}{}
     \installfont{ptmrre7t}{ptmrre8r,latin}{OT1}{OT1}{ptm}{mx}{n}{}

   \endinstallfonts

   then the *.fd files don't contain the ptmrrn8t and ptmrrn7t fonts.
