Hi everybody.
Thank you for your quick reply. Apologize me if I wasn't too
specific. I've been giving it another try and I think I've finally got
it. My problem was I put the new fonts in the texmf.local directory, as
Gerben recommends. But this way, dvips can't find the CMF files
because they are laid in the texmf tree and latex tries to build a
bitmapped set which are dot displayed well in pdf, am I right? Then, I
put all the vf, tfm, pfb, fd and the pad.confg in the original texmf
and modified and run again updmap. This way, things work, but the next
update I do, I possibly will overwrite my fonts. What I would like to do
is to keep the new fonts, say AGaramond, in the texmf.local and be able
to load the pfb Computer Modern Fonts instead of making the bitmapped
ones every time I have to run pdflatex. Otherwise, I'd have to copy the
entire texmf tree to texmf.local which seems to be a very dirt trick.
Does this in any way have to do with the mathtime & book.cls thread
>from May 18 to 20 in this list?
English is not one of my strongs. I hope to be more clear this time.
Thanks again.
