Converting TrueType fonts for use with LaTeX.

The following script is based on the guide Using TrueType fonts with teTEX and dvips by Harald Harders.

Do not run this script! Copy and paste parts into a root terminal after carefully editing it.

Hopefully it is fairly clear what to do:

1. Edit the ttf2pt1 section to make the appropriate LaTeX fonts. You need to work out the correct(ish) LaTeX names for the fonts.
2. Add the right stuff to the map file!

This seems not to work for .TTF files from Windows.
