Hello,

I am new at using fontinst but seem to have managed to create from afm font files the necessary tfm, vf, and fd files.
I am having trouble with the map files creation however.   I have read the Lehman.pdf, the fontinst.pdf, and 
intro98.pdf.    here is what I have tried --- (following page 63 of foninst.pdf)
	
	\input finstmsc.sty
	\resetstr{PSfontsuffix}{.pfb}
	\adddriver{dvips}{pgs.map}
	\input pgs-rec.tex
	\donedrivers
	\bye

I have set finstmsc.rc to contain two lines   (as indicated page 240 of fisource.pdf)

	\declarepsencoding{8r}{TeXBase1Encoding}{\encodingdownload{8r.enc}}
	\declarepsencoding{8a}{StandardEncoding}{}

I am trying to install Adobe GillSans   with Berry name   pgs.

When I run the above tex program, I end up with an empty pgs.map file as well as pgs-rec.tex file.

Any suggestions/comments/help would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks in advance.

Walt,

Can you post your entire installation script?

Does it include the necessary

\recordtransforms{pgs-rec.tex}

?

Hello again,

I am trying to install Adobe font 162, a Gill Sans collection of 5 fonts.     I am trying to run the program fontinstpgs.tex

	> \input fontinst.sty
        	> \latinfamily{pgs}{}
	> \bye

in a folder with the necessary support for fontinst.sty but possibly not latinfamily.

Unfortunately I obtain the following response...

> % tex -progname=fontinst fontinstpgs.tex
> This is TeXk, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2010)
>  restricted \write18 enabled.
>
> kpathsea: Running mktexfmt fontinst.fmt
> I can't find the format file `fontinst.fmt'!

What do I need do to obtain this file?   Many thanks in advance.

What happens if you omit "-progname=fontinst"?
