View source for Adding Fonts to XeTeX

This wiki page describes the procedure for adding fonts to XeTeX (and XeLaTeX).

If the fonts are provided in MetaFont format, then it's best to add them
using the procedure for [[Adding Fonts to TeX]].  This is also true for
PostScript Type 1 fonts that have already been packaged for TeX (unless
their packaging is specific to XeTeX).

Fonts that have not been already packaged for TeX, and fonts that have been
packaged specifically for XeTeX, can be added using the following procedure.

The font(s) should be in PostScript Type 1 format, TrueType format, or
OpenType format.  You can either put the '''.pfa''', '''.pfb''', '''.ttf''',
or '''.otf''' file in the directory where you'll be running '''XeTeX'''
or '''XeLaTeX''', or you can create a directory '''texmf/fonts/type1''',
'''texmf/fonts/truetype''', or '''texmf/fonts/opentype''' (as appropriate)
in your home directory, and store the font file in that directory or a
subdirectory of it.  In the latter case, you should run the program
 texhash
so that XeTeX can find the font file more readily.

You can then access the font file by name in the TeX '''\font''' command:
 \font \stix="[STIXGeneralBol.otf]" at 11pt
for example.
(Note, however, that the STIX fonts are already installed on the math network.)

For XeLaTeX, use the '''fontspec''' package.  The web page
