OK, I finished dtm-0.4. The bad news are that LaTeX support isn't
there, because it's a real fuss (fontinst helps but I don't know
how much information ask a developer to put in the package...)
The good news are that is stable enough to be used to install
real fonts. Can you tell me what will be the name of the config
file?
It would be nice if you can download dtm and try it out (I've
put in it all the font info required to install the adobe 35 std
fonts... you have just to cut'n'paste to add dtm support to
ghostscript)
Another little thing... I think we need a better place than
/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts for the type1 fonts. What about leaving
the .gsf there and moving the ATM compatible fonts to
/usr/share/fonts/type1/outlines? It would be really cool if you
can find the TFM files somewhere and put them into
/usr/share/fonts/type1/metrics. (The TFM files are a *must*
for LaTeX.)
Ciao, (expect upload in 1/2 days :)
