NAME

autoinst − wrapper around the LCDF TypeTools, for installing OpenType fonts in LaTeX.

SYNOPSIS

autoinst [options] font(s)

DESCRIPTION

Eddie Kohler’s TypeTools, especially otftotfm, are superb tools for installing OpenType fonts in LaTeX, but their use (even in automatic mode) is complicated: they need many long command lines and don’t generate the fd and sty files LaTeX needs. autoinst simplifies the font installation process with otftotfm by generating and executing all command lines and by creating and installing all fd and sty files.

Given a family of font files (in either otf or ttf format), autoinst will create several LaTeX font families:

−

Four text families (with lining and oldstyle digits, in tabular and proportional variants), each with the following shapes:

			Roman text
	sc		Small caps
	nw		"Upright swash"; usually normal text with some extra "oldstyle" ligatures, such as ct, sp and st.
	tl		Titling shape. Meant for all-caps text only (even though it sometimes contains lowercase glyphs as well), where letterspacing and the positioning of punctuation characters have been adjusted to suit all-caps text. This shape is generated only for the families with lining digits, since all-caps text doesn’t mix with old-style digits.
	it		Italic (or oblique) text
	scit		Italic small caps
	sw		Swash
	tlit		Italic titling
	−

For each text family: a family of TS1−encoded symbol fonts, in roman and italic shapes.

	−		Four families with superiors, inferiors, numerators and denominators, in roman and italic shapes.
	−		An ornament family, in roman and italic shapes.

Of course, if the fonts don’t contain oldstyle digits, small caps etc., the corresponding shapes and families are not created. Furthermore, the creation of most families and shapes can be controlled by command-line options (see "COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS " below).

The generated font families are named <FontFamily>−<Suffix>, where <Suffix> is one of

	LF		proportional (i.e., figures have varying widths) lining figures
	TLF		tabular (i.e., all figures have the same width) lining figures
	OsF		proportional oldstyle figures
	TOsF		tabular oldstyle figures
	Sup		superior characters (many fonts have only an incomplete set of superiors: digits, punctuation and the letters abdeilmnorst; normal forms will be used for the other characters)
	Inf		inferior characters; usually only digits and punctuation, normal forms for the other characters
	Orn		ornaments
	Numr		numerators
	Dnom		denominators

The generated fonts are named <FontName>−<suffix>−<shape>−<enc>, where <suffix> is the same as above (but in lowercase), <shape> is either empty, "sc", "swash" or "titling", and <enc> is the encoding. A typical name in this scheme would be "MinionPro−Regular−osf−sc−ly1".

On the choice of text encoding
By default, autoinst generates text fonts with OT1 , T1 and LY1 encodings, and the generated style files use LY1 as the default text encoding. LY1 has been chosen over T1 because it has some empty slots to accomodate the additional ligatures and alternate glyphs provided by many OpenType fonts. Different encodings can be selected using the −encoding command-line option (see "COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS " below).

Using the fonts in your LaTeX documents
autoinst generates a style file for using the font in LaTeX documents, named <FontFamily>.sty. This style file also takes care of loading the fontenc and textcomp packages, if necessary. To use the font, simply put "\usepackage{<FontFamily>}" in the preamble of your document.

This style file defines a number of options:
lining, oldstyle, tabular, proportional

Choose which digits will be used for the text fonts. The defaults are "oldstyle" and "proportional" (if available).

ultrablack, ultrabold, heavy, extrablack, black, extrabold, demibold,
semibold, bold

Choose the weight that LaTeX will use for the "bold" weight (i.e., the value of "\bfdefault").

light, medium, regular

Choose the weight that LaTeX will use for the "regular" weight (i.e., the value of "\mddefault").

scaled=<scale>

Scale the font by a factor of <scale>. For example: to increase the size of the font by 5%, use the command "\usepackage[scaled=1.05]{<FontFamily>}".

This option is only available when the xkeyval package is found in your TeX installation.

The style file will also try to load the fontaxes package, which gives easy access to various font shapes and styles. It is available from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org/tex−archive/macros/latex/contrib/fontaxes). Using the machinery set up by fontaxes, the generated style file also defines a number of commands (which take the text to be typeset as argument) and declarations (which don’t take arguments, but affect all text up to the end of the current group) of its own:

    DECLARATION     COMMAND         SHORT FORM OF COMMAND
    \tlshape        \texttitling    \texttl
    \sufigures      \textsuperior   \textsu
    \infigures      \textinferior   \textin

In addition, the "\swshape" and "\textsw" commands are redefined to place swash on the secondary shape axis (fontaxes places it on the primary shape axis); this makes these commands behave properly when nested, so that "\swshape\upshape" will give upright swash.

There are no commands for accessing the numerator and denominator fonts; these can be selected using fontaxes’ standard commands, e.g., "\fontfigurestyle{numerator}\selectfont".

The style file also provides a command "\ornament{<number>}", where "<number>" is a number from 0 to the total number of ornaments minus one. Ornaments are always typeset using the current family, series and shape. A list of all ornaments in a font can be created by running LaTeX on the file nfssfont.tex (part of a standard LaTeX installation) and supplying the name of the ornament font.

To access the ornaments, autoinst creates a font-specific encoding file <FontFamily>_orn.enc, but only if that file doesn’t yet exist. This means you can provide your own encoding vector, e.g. if your fonts use non-standard glyph names for ornaments.

These commands are only generated for shapes and number styles that actually exist; no commands are generated for shapes and styles that don’t exist, or whose generation has been turned off. Please note that these commands are built on top of fontaxes; if that package cannot be found, you’re limited to using the lower-level commands from standard NFSS ("\fontfamily", "\fontseries", "\fontshape" etc.).

Using multiple font families in one document
If you want to use more than one font family in a document, be aware that style files generated by versions of autoinst older dan 2009 are incompatible with those generated by newer versions.

NFSS codes
NFSS identifies fonts by a combination of family, series (weight plus width), shape and size. autoinst parses the output of "otfinfo −−info" to determine these parameters. When this fails (e.g., because the font family contains unusual widths or weights), autoinst ends up with different fonts having the same values for the font parameters, which means that these fonts cannot be used in NFSS . autoinst will then split the font family into multiple subfamilies (based on the font’s "Subfamily" value) and try again. (Since many font families overdo the "Subfamily" by making each font a separate subfamily, this strategy is only used as a last resort.)

If this proliferation of font families is unwanted, either rerun autoinst on a smaller set of fonts (omitting the ones that failed to parse correctly) or else add the missing widths, weights and shapes to the tables %FD_WIDTH, %FD_WEIGHT and %FD_SHAPE, near the top of the source code. Please also send a bug report (see AUTHOR below).

autoinst maps widths, weights and shapes to NFSS codes using the following tables. These are based both on the standard Fontname scheme and on the tables in Philipp Lehman’s Font Installation Guide, but some changes had to be made to avoid name clashes in font families with many different widths and weights.

    WEIGHT                              WIDTH
    Thin           t                    Ultra Compressed    up
    Ultra Light    ul                   Extra Compressed    ep
    Extra Light    el                   Compressed, Compact p
    Light          l                    Compact             p
    Book                 [1]            Ultra Condensed     uc

    Medium         mb                   Condensed           c
    Demibold       db                   Narrow              n
    Semibold       sb                   Semicondensed       sc
    Bold           b                    Regular                 [1]

    Black          k                    Wide                w
    Extra Black    ek
    Ultra Black    uk
    Heavy          h                    SHAPE
    Poster         r
                                        Roman, Upright      n   [2]
                                        Italic              it
                                        Cursive, Kursiv     it
                                        Oblique, Slanted    it  [3]
                                        Incline(d)          it  [3]

Notes:

	[1]		When both weight and width are empty, the "series" attribute becomes "m".
	[2]		Adobe Silentium Pro contains two "Roman" shapes ("RomanI" and "RomanII"); the first of these is mapped to "n", the second one to "it".
	[3]		Mapping the "Slanted", "Oblique" or "Inclined" shape to "it" instead of "sl" simplifies autoinst. Since font families with both italic and slanted shapes do − to the best of my knowledge − not exist (apart from Computer Modern, of course), this shouldn’t cause problems in real life.

A note for MiKTeX users
Automatically installing the fonts into a suitable TEXMF tree (as autoinst does by default) requires a TeX-installation that uses the kpathsea library; with TeX distributions that implement their own directory searching (such as MiKTeX), autoinst will complain that it cannot find the kpsewhich program and install all generated files into subdirectories of the current directory. If you use such a TeX distribution, you should either move these files to their correct destinations by hand, or use the −target option (see "COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS " below) to specify a TEXMF tree.

Also, some OpenType fonts lead to pl and vpl files that are too big for MiKTeX’s pltotf and vptovf; the versions that come with W32TeX (http://www.w32tex.org) and TeXLive (http://tug.org/texlive) don’t have this problem.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

You may use either one or two dashes before options, and option names may be shortened to a unique prefix (e.g., −enc instead of −encoding).
−encoding=encoding[,encoding]

Use the specified encodings for the text fonts. The default is " OT1 ,T1,LY1". For each encoding, a file <encoding>.enc (in all lowercase) should be somewhere where otftotfm can find it. Suitable encoding files for OT1 , T1/TS1 and LY1 come with autoinst. (Note that these files are called fontools_ot1.enc etc. to avoid name clashes with other packages; the "fontools_" prefix doesn’t need to be specified.)

Multiple text encodings can be specified as a comma-separated list: "−encoding=OT1,T1". The encodings are passed to fontenc in the order specified, so the last one will be the default text encoding.

−sanserif

Install the font as a sanserif font, accessed via "\sffamily" and "\textsf". Note that the generated style file redefines "\familydefault", so including it will still make this font the default text font.

−typewriter

Install the font as a typewriter font, accessed via "\ttfamily" and "\texttt". Note that the generated style file redefines "\familydefault", so including it will still make this font the default text font.

−ts1
−nots1

Turn the creation of TS1−encoded fonts on or off. The default is −ts1 if the text encodings (see −encoding above) include T1, −nots1 otherwise.

−smallcaps
−nosmallcaps

Turn the creation of small caps fonts on or off. The default is −smallcaps.

−swash
−noswash

Turn the creation of swash fonts on or off. The default is −swash.

−titling
−notitling

Turn the creation of titling fonts on or off. The default is −titling.

−superiors
−nosuperiors

Turn the creation of fonts with superior characters on or off. The default is −superiors.

−inferiors
−noinferiors

Turn the creation of fonts with inferior digits on or off. The default is −noinferiors.

−fractions
−nofractions

Turn the creation of fonts with numerators and denominators on or off. The default is −nofractions.

−ornaments
−noornaments

Turn the creation of ornament fonts on or off. The default is −ornaments.

−target= DIRECTORY

Install all generated files into the TEXMF tree at DIRECTORY .

By default, autoinst searches your $TEXMFLOCAL and $TEXMFHOME paths and installs all files into subdirectories of the first writable TEXMF tree it finds (or into subdirectories of the current directory, if no writable directory is found).

Note: this option gets overriden by the −manual option!

−manual

Manual mode. By default, autoinst immediately executes all otftotfm command lines it generates; with the −manual option, these commands are instead written to a file autoinst.bat. Also, the generated otftotfm command lines specify the −−pl option (which tells otftotfm to generate readable/editable pl and vpl files instead of the default tfm and vf files) and leave out the −−automatic option (which tells otftotfm to leave all generated files in the current directory, rather than install them into your TEXMF tree).

When using this option, you should run pltotf and vptovf after executing all commands, to convert the pl and vf files to tfm and vf format.

Note: this option overrides the −target option!

−verbose

Verbose mode; print detailed info about what autoinst thinks it’s doing.

−extra=text

Pass text as options to otftotfm. To prevent text from accidentily being interpreted as options to autoinst, it should be properly quoted.

−figurekern
−nofigurekern

Some fonts provide kerning pairs for tabular figures. This is probably unwanted (e.g., numbers in tables won’t line up exactly). The option −nofigurekern adds extra −−ligkern options to the command lines for otftotfm to suppress such kerns (but only for the " TLF " and "TOsF" families). Since this leads to very long command lines (it adds one hundred such options) and the problem affects only few fonts, the default is −figurekern.

RECENT CHANGES

(See the source code for the rest of the story.)

	2012−03−06		Implemented the "splitting the font family into multiple subfamilies" emergency strategy when font info parsing fails. Added recognition for a number of unusual widths, weights and shapes.
	2012−02−29		Fixed a bug in the font parsing code, where possible widths, weights and shapes where tested in the wrong order; this led to "ExtraLight" fonts being recognised as "Light". Added recognition for "Narrow" and "Wide" widths. Also added the −(no)figurekern command-line option.
	2012−02−01		Reorganised the code, and fixed some bugs in the process. Added the −target command-line option. Made autoinst install the fd and sty files in the same TEXMF tree as the other generated files. Generate OT1 , T1 and LY1 encoded text fonts by default. Made −titling a default option (instead of −notitling). Updated the documentation.
	2011−06−15		Fixed the font info parsing code for some fonts that are too lazy to spell out "Italic" in full.
	2010−04−29		The −−feature=kern option is only used for fonts that contain either a kern feature or a kern table. Font feature selection commands in the sty file are only generated for shapes and figure styles that are supported by the current font, and whose generation has not been turned off using the command-line options. Fixed the font info parsing to work with the Condensed fonts in the Minion Pro family.
	2010−04−23		Always provide the −−feature=kern option to otftotfm, even if the font doesn’t have a kern feature; this will make otftotfm use the kern table if present. For fonts without a liga feature, add −−ligkern options for the common f−ligatures to the otftotfm command line, so that any ligatures present in the font will still be used. Bug fix: the generated sty files now work for font families with names containing digits.
	2009−04−09		Prefixed the filenames of the included encoding files with fontools_, to prevent name clashes with other packages.
	2009−04−06		A small patch to the `"get_orn"` subroutine: it now also recognises the bullet.xxx ornament glyphs in Adobe Kepler Pro.
