Fonts used by PS-L^ATEX

As distributed, PS-L^ATEX uses the ``standard'' Adobe fonts, namely, the Times¹ family, and the Helvetica², Courier and Symbol fonts. The following table shows how L^ATEX font-setting commands relate to these fonts:

Unfortunately, there is a mismatch between the standard Adobe font set and the range of fonts used by L^ATEX. This is remedied by using ``derived'' fonts, that is, fonts that are derived from standard ones by simple transformations:

The device driver must be capable of using these derived fonts. PostScript³code to generate them has been included in a separate file, and TFM files are also provided for them (based on metrics obtained from a Version 42.2 PostScript interpreter). To use PS-L^ATEX you must be able to download the extra PostScript code to create these fonts prior to printing your job, and your driver must be able to recognise them as device-resident (or, at least, must not look for PK files).
