Summary : Macros for managing large font collections
Description :
OFS (Olsak's Font System) is a set of Plain TeX and LaTeX
macros for managing large font collections; it has been used by
Czech/Slovak users for many years. Main features include:
Mapping from long names of fonts to the metric file name. The
user can specify only exact long names in documents. Support
for many font encodings. Printing of catalogues of fonts and
test samples of font families; the interactive macro \showfonts
shows all font families you have installed via OFS. The user
interface is the same for Plain TeX and for LaTeX, but the
implementation differs: the LaTeX variant of OFS uses NFSS, but
the Plain variant implements its own font management (which may
even be better than NFSS) Support for math fonts including TX
fonts.
