I am trying to install a Mac Type 1 IPA font but without success:
[strathfillan:~/groff_fonts] rob% groff -Tps testipa.gr > testipa.ps
testipa.gr:1: warning: can't find font `IPA'
[strathfillan:~/groff_fonts] rob%
I have extracted the pfa from the resource fork and run it (and the afm
file) through tr to demaccify the line endings. I then followed the
instructions on an old email from Ted in the list archives that related to
a Cyrillic font. The font file is in the right directory:
[strathfillan:groff/font/devps] rob% ls
AB CB HI NBI
SS ZDR
ABI CBI HNB NI
TB download
AI CI HNBI NR
TBI download~
AR CR HNI PB
TI generate

TR prologue
BMBI DESC~ HR PI
TimesPhoAlt.pfa symbolsl.pfa
BMI HB IPA PR
ZCMI text.enc
BMR HBI NB S
ZD zapfdr.pfa
The font file looks OK to me:
[strathfillan:groff/font/devps] rob% head IPA
name IPA
internalname Times-PhoneticAlternate
spacewidth 250
kernpairs
charset
space 250 0 0040
--- 250,82,190 3 0042 -- lowrising

--- 333,656 3 0044 -- macron
--- 500,706 3 0045 -- breve
[strathfillan:groff/font/devps] rob%
The DESC file looks OK too:
[strathfillan:groff/font/devps] rob% less DESC
res 72000

And so does the download file:
[strathfillan:groff/font/devps] rob% less download
# List of downloadable fonts

[strathfillan:groff/font/devps] rob%
Stewart has mentioned 'How to install arbitrary fonts' by Ted Harding -- I
have looked for this but can't find it.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Thank you,
Rob
PS groff's weirdness *does* grow on you! I suspect you guys have got some
subtle brainwashing technique going on there ...
