    PostScript (Type 1) Fonts for MusiXTeX

Notes for installation in MikTeX (Christof K. Biebricher cbiebri@gwdg.de)

Thanks to  Takanori Uchiyama, uchiyama@appi.keio.ac.jp, we have PostScript
fonts for musixtex. The most recent fonts package can
be downladed from CTAN under /fonts/musixtex/ps-type1. Read his README file.

For MiKTeX, the first installation procedure is slightly different from
the UNIX procedure described by Takanori Uchiyama:
(For UPDATING the pfb files, see below.)

1) Download musixps.zip to a temporary directory and unpack.

2) It is a good idea to load all packages not included in the MiKTeX
   distribution to a local texmf tree, designated here as %LOCALTEXMF.
   %LOCALTEXMF must not be a subdirectory of the normal texmf tree.
   The simplest solution is to adopt the path proposed by the MikTeX
   installation procedure.
   The directory tree structure of the local texmf tree should be identical
   to the texmf tree. The musixtex macros belong thus into
   %LOCALTEXMF\tex\generic\musixtex.

3) Make a directory %LOCALTEXMF\fonts\type1\musixps and copy all files
   contained in .\pfb to it.

3) Copy .\dvips\musix.map to %TEXMF\dvips\config\ or %LOCALTEXMF\dvips\config\.
   In newer systems (from 2004) make a directory musix in %TEXMF\fonts\map\dvips
   and copy .\dvips\musix.map to %TEXMF\fonts\map\dvips\musix\

4) Add the line

    p +musix.map

   to %[LOCAL]TEXMF\dvips\config\config.ps and 
%[LOCAL]TEXMF\dvips\config\config.pdf

5) Copy .\dvipdfm\musix.map to %[LOCAL]TEXMF\dvipdfm\config\, in newer systems
   to %TEXMF\fonts\map\dvipdfm\musix\.

6) Add the  line

    f musix.map

   to the config file %TEXMF\dvipdfm\config\config.

7) Regenerate the TeX database and the postscript data base.
   There are several possibilities to do so, e.g. by running

     %TEXMF\miktex\bin\initexmf.exe --verbose --update-fndb=%TEXMF
     %TEXMF\miktex\bin\initexmf.exe --verbose --update-fndb=%LOCALTEXMF
     %TEXMF\miktex\bin\initexmf.exe --verbose --search -mkpsres

  mkpsres does not make a new file, but attaches the new files to the
  PostScript data base. If you moved or deleted type1 font files it is thus
  necessary to rename or delete the old PostScript database.

If you only UPDATE your fonts, simply copy the *.pfb-files in the ./pfb
   subdirectory to the proper directory. There is no need to update the
   configuration or the data base once more.

   When the musixtex type1 fonts are used, type1 fonts should also be used for
   non-music text; for example, type1 versions of the Computer Modern
   fonts are available in the MikTeX distribution in the directory
   %TEXMF\fonts\type1\bluesky\cm\

You can use the musixtex type1 fonts for producing pdftex. To do so, run

   pdftex <file.ext>
   musixflx <file.ext>
   pdftex <file.ext>

(Assuming that the program files pdftex.exe and musixflx.exe are in the PATH)
The pfb files bound into the pdf-file are listed by the pdftex program.

Alternatively, make a dvi file and convert it to pdf by running

dvipdfm <file.dvi>

The first method gives often a smaller pdf-file.
