creating a type1 fonts package for tetex

[Tzafrir Cohen]

I would like to create a package that will install a small set of Type1
fonts (http://culmus.sf.net) on an existing tetex installation with
minimal intervention from the user.

E.g: I would rather create some extra files than ask the user to edit
files. I won't like to have a script that edit files if that is avoidable,
because then uninstallation of the papckage is problematic.

The site contains a mixtex fonts package. What can I do to have the same
with tetex?

I think the MikTeX fonts package will work under teTeX, too. Just
unzip the clmfonts.zip file into /usr/local/share/texmf (or wherever
your local teTeX files are stored); add
"/usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config/culmus.map" to the extra_modules
section of /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/updmap and run updmap; and
finally, run texhash. The procedure is essentially the same as in
MikTeX.

If you really want to avoid editing updmap, then you can create a
/usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.culmus file containing the
line "p +culmus.map" and instruct your users to add "-Pculmus" to their
dvips command lines.
