I have a plain-TeX source file ready to go that makes a nice wedding program. But I need a script font for the headings. Something like Windows Edwardian Script (Open Type) which comes in a file called ITCEdscr.TTF. My wedding program source file works both with PCTeX and with MiKTex 2.9. However, I have been unable to install the script font into either system. Without getting into the details of why I have not been able to use system resources to do the installation, I am wondering if someone can help me do a manual installation into either one of these systems, PCTeX or MiKTeX. Here are my specific questions: 1. I have the True Type font, in this case, ITCEdscr.ttf, located in a directory C:\temp. How do I get that file to tto make the files I need for plain TeX to use it (.pfb, .tfm, .enc, .map and any others)? I think I start with ttf2afm but am not sure. 2. Into which directories would I place these files (.pfb, .tfm, .enc, .map, etc.) 3. What else would I have to do, so that I can simply go: \font\scriptheadingone=ITCEdscr at 24pt \font\scriptheadingtwo-ITCEdscr at 18pt in my plain TeX source file? Obviously I am looking for a quick and dirty, manual-effort solution. If there is some charitable soul in the US who wouldn't mind walking me through this, I would be happy to give a telephone number to accomplish that. If someone helps me get the script font working in my source file (either through emails back and forth or telephone calls), I will gladly express my appreciation to that person with a $100 gift (would have to work out the mechanism: gift card or something like that). Please help! Wedding program needs to be printed in about 7 days. Thank you. Thank you.
