DOCBOOK: RE: getting good PDF fonts, SOLVED

[Rick Bronson <rick at viclink dot com>]

All,

  It seems that setting the following path variables let's me load and
use other fonts:

export TEXINPUTS=.:/usr/share/texmf/tex/jadetex/base:/usr/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/amsfonts:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/tools:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base:/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ot2cyr:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lucidabr:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/psnfss

export TEXFONTS=.:/usr/share/texmf/fonts:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/helvetic:/var/spool/texmf/tfm/jknappen/ec:/var/spool/texmf/tfm/jknappen/tc:/var/spool/texmf/pk/ljfour/jknappen/ec:/var/spool/texmf/source/jknappen/ec:/var/spool/texmf/source/jknappen/tc:/var/spool/texmf/pk/ljfour/jknappen/tc:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/times:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/helvetic:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/courier:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/courier:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/palatino:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/palatino:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/avantgar:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/avantgar:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/jknappen/ec:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/bitstrea/charter:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/bitstrea/charter:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/bookman:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/bookman:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/ncntrsbk:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/ncntrsbk:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/times:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/t!
imes:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/utopia:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/utopia:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/zapfchan:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/zapfchan:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/bh/lucida:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/bh/lucida:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/bh/lubright:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/bh/lubright:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/bh/lucsans:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/bh/lucsans

  It seems a bit absurd to have to include all of this in the path but
I generated this path from running jadetex on all of the fonts and
then adding in the path of the file that it complained it couldn't
find.  Maybe there is a better way?  I'm a bit new to Docbook & Tex.

  Thanks,

  Rick
