\title{Brush-Script-Italic Fonts}

The files here included allow to use a PostScript Type-1
font named ``Brush-Script-Italic'' in your \TeX\ documents:
the important ones are {\bfseries "pbsi.pfa"} (the font
in encoded ASCII form) and {\bfseries "pbsi0.afm"} (the
font metric file), while the others have been generated
with the {\em fontinst}\/ package by Alan Jeffrey and are
included here only for sake of simplicity.
What you need to do in order to install this font is:
\begin{enumerate}
  \item to copy the ".tfm" (font metric) and the ".vf"
    (virtual font) files in the appropriate \TeX\
    font directories;
  \item to copy the ".fd" (font definition) files in
    the \TeX\ input directory;
  \item to copy the ".pfa" file where your DVI to PS
    converter will look for it; if you are using
    \verb"dvips", you want to modify the file
    "psfonts.map" adding a line saying
    ``"pbsi0 <pbsi.pfa"''.
  \item All of my \TeX{}ing is done on VAX/VMS and
    Amigas, but I have access to a complete \TeX\ setup
    on VAXen only; on the Amiga, \TeX\ and dvips process
    my files correctly, but the previever refuses to
    work ":-(".
    I hope you will have no problems with different
    environments.
\end{enumerate}

Some short notes: I have found the original
Brush-Script-Italic font on the Internet, as a NeXT
screen font; and I have heavily modified the
original file on my Amiga personal computer, with
a font drawing package named TypeSmith.
My modified version (as well as the original font)
are both public domain; you are free to modify my
files as you want, as long as you don't make any
profit from them.

You will find here a file called "sample.tex" that is an
example of the actual use of this new font; it is a real
document I have typeset (in Italian, sorry; but you can
see a couple of accented characters correctly generated
by the T1 font encoding).
Be careful, do not use \TeX\ commands that change
the typeface (like "\bfseries" or "\sffamily");
Brush-Script-Italic has no defined variants!
