dvips: Fonts in figures

 
 5.1.6 Fonts in figures
 ----------------------
 
 You can use any font available to TeX and Dvips within a graphics file
 by putting a '%*Font:' line in the leading commentary of the file.
 Schematically, this looks like:
 
      %*Font: TFMNAME SCALEDBP DESIGNBP HEX-START:HEX-BITSTRING
 
    Here is the meaning of each of these elements:
 
 TFMNAME
      The TeX TFM filename, e.g., 'cmr10'.  You can give the same TFMNAME
      on more than one '%*Font' line; this is useful when the number of
      characters from the font used needs a longer HEX-BITSTRING (see
      item below) than conveniently fits on one line.
 
 SCALEDBP
      The size at which you are using the font, in PostScript points (TeX
      big points).  72bp = 72.27pt = 1in.
 
 DESIGNBP
      The designsize of the font, again in PostScript points.  This
      should match the value in the TFM file TFMNAME.  Thus, for 'cmr10',
      it should be '9.96265'.
 
 HEX-START
      The character code of the first character used from the font,
      specified as two ASCII hexadecimal characters, e.g., '4b' or '4B'
      for 'K'.
 
 HEX-BITSTRING
      An arbitrary number of ASCII hexadecimal digits specifying which
      characters following (and including) HEX-START are used.  This is
      treated as a bitmap.  For example, if your figure used the single
      letter 'K', you would use '4b:8' for HEX-START and HEX-BITSTRING.
      If it used 'KLMNP', you would use '4b:f4'.
 
    MetaPost's output figures contain lines like this for bitmap fonts
 used in a MetaPost label (⇒(web2c)MetaPost).
