[xep-support] Using Computer Modern Type 1 fonts

[Paul A. Hoadley]

Hello,

I've been trying to get XEP to incorporate Donald Knuth's Computer
Modern fonts into PS output.  I've been following the steps detailed
in the XEP User Guide, but there must be some subtlety I'm missing
here.

I downloaded the AFM files for the CM fonts from CTAN.  There are PFB
files in the TeX distribution.  I have added this to fonts.xml:

   <font name="cmr10"
         embed="true"
         afm="/usr/home/paulh/tmp/cmafm/cmr10.afm"
         pfb="/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb">
     <alias name="Computer Modern"/>
   </font>

I'm assuming the name attribute there is correct, as the AFM contains
this:

FontName cmr10
FullName Computer Modern Roman 10 point
FamilyName Computer Modern

I am specifying font-family="Computer Modern" in the FO source
(generated by the DocBook stylesheets).  cmr10 seems to get embedded
in the resulting PS, but the text itself doesn't use the font -- in
fact, it comes out as Courier.

I suspect I'm not naming things correctly.  Can anyone help me to use
the Computer Modern font?
