Rather than write
\newfont{\mynewfont}{pagk8r scaled 3000}
one now apparently (Ref.: Math symbol within a new-font word) should write:
\DeclareRobustCommand\bigavantgarde{\fontsize{30}{42}\usefont{\encodingdefault}{pag}{m}{n}}
What is the general mapping?
In other words, for a given font in my
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
, say pagko8r
, what is the mapping to use \usefont
instead of \newfont
?
