dvips: PostScript fonts

 
 6 PostScript fonts
 ******************
 
 Dvips supports the use of PostScript fonts in TeX documents.  To use a
 PostScript font conveniently, you need to prepare a corresponding
 virtual font; the program Afm2tfm, supplied with Dvips, helps with that.
 
    All the necessary support for the standard 35 PostScript fonts
 ('AvantGarde-Book' through 'ZapfDingbats'), plus other freely or
 commonly available PostScript fonts is available along with Dvips.  To
 use these fonts, you need do nothing beyond what is mentioned in the
 installation procedure (⇒Installation).  This chapter is
 therefore relevant only if you are installing new PostScript fonts not
 supplied with Dvips.  (Or if you're curious.)
