Installing PS-L^ATEX

PS-L^ATEX is composed of three basic files: fntchoice.tex, lfonts.tex and psplain.tex.

The file fntchoice.tex contains definitions of the fonts to be used in , , etc., environments. Modify these for the names in use at your site. For example, at my site the Times Roman font³ is known as t-rom.

Having modified fntchoice.tex, you may need to modify lfonts.tex to reflect which sizes of TEX and L^ATEX fonts are available at your site; do this based on the copy of lfonts.tex that you use with L^ATEX.

Finally, to install PS-L^ATEX, follow the same procedure as you would to build L^ATEX (this varies from site to site), but use pslplain where you would use lplain. For example, to build a .fmt file under UNIX⁴ you would normally type the command

     initex lplain '\dump'

     initex pslplain '\dump'

You will also need .TFM files for the PostScript fonts that you intend to use. A set of these is distributed with the UNIX TEX distribution, and can be found on the Aston TEX archive server in the UKm and on june.cs.washington.edu in the US. A few fonts used by PS-L^ATEX are not in this set; .pl files for these are distributed with PS-L^ATEX, and can be converted to .tfm files using the pltotf utility.
