Halibut intrinsically knows about some fonts, and these fonts are also
-built into all PDF and most PostScript implementations. These are:
-
-\b \cw{Times-Roman}
-
-\b \cw{Times-Italic}
-
-\b \cw{Times-Bold}
-
-\b \cw{Times-BoldItalic}
-
-\b \cw{Helvetica}
-
-\b \cw{Helvetica-Oblique}
-
-\b \cw{Helvetica-Bold}
-
-\b \cw{Helvetica-BoldOblique}
-
-\b \cw{Courier}
-
-\b \cw{Courier-Oblique}
-
-\b \cw{Courier-Bold}
-
-\b \cw{Courier-BoldOblique}
-
-These fonts can be used without further formality. To use any other
-font, Halibut needs at least to know its measurements, which are
-provided in an \i{Adobe Font Metrics} (\I{AFM files}AFM) file.
-Halibut can also \I{embedding fonts}embed \i{Type 1 fonts} in its PDF
-and PostScript output if provided with font file in either hexadecimal (\I{PFA
-files}PFA) or IBM PC (\I{PFB files}PFB) format. To provide
-an AFM, PFA, or PFB file to Halibut, simply name it on Halibut's command
-line. If a PFA or PFB file is specified, the corresponding AFM file
-must come first.

+These fonts can be used without further formality. Halibut can also use
+other fonts, and can \I{embedding fonts}embed them it its PDF and
+PostScript output. These other fonts are supplied to Halibut by
+simply adding them to the list of input files on its command line.
+
+To use a \i{Type 1 font} Halibut needs both the font file itself,
+in either hexadecimal (\I{PFA files}PFA) or IBM PC (\I{PFB files}PFB)
+format, and an \i{Adobe Font Metrics} (\I{AFM files}AFM) file. The AFM
+file must be specified first on the command line. If Halibut gets an
+AFM file without a corresponding Type 1 font file, the PostScript and
+PDF output files will still use that font, but they won't contain it.
+
+Using a \i{TrueType font} is rather simpler, and simply requires you to
+pass the font file to Halibut. Halibut does place a few restrictions on
+TrueType fonts, notably that they must include a \i{Unicode} mapping
+table and a PostScript name.
+
+Fonts are specified using their PostScript names. Running Halibut with
+the \i\cw{\-\-list-fonts} option causes it to display the PostScript
+names of all the fonts it intrinsically knows about, along with any
+fonts the were supplied as input files.
\ii{Font sizes} are specified in PostScript \i{points} (72 to the inch).
