The TTF font called Remeslo is available at several sites including Wfonts. I tried to follow posts on this site to add it by generating the following files:
Remeslo.tfm
Remeslo.afm
Remeslo.vpl
Remeslo.vf
Remeslo.fd
The contents of the .fd file are as follows:
%Filename: Remeslo.fd
%Created by: Me
%Creation date: 2019/11/12
% This file should be put in a TeX input directory
\ProvidesFile{Remeslo.fd}
[2019/11/12 Font definition file for U/Remeslo]
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{Remeslo}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{Remeslo}{xl}{n}{
<-> Remeslo
}{}
\endinput
I followed another .fd file and apparently got the U encoding wrong. So, let us start with the "minimal" MWE first:
\documentclass{article}
\input Remeslo.fd
\newcommand*\remfamily{\usefont{U}{Remeslo}{xl}{n}}
\begin{document}
%\remfamily
\fontsize{12mm}{12mm}
\selectfont
THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE GREAZY DOG
\end{document}
If the commented line is uncommented, the error is:
TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [max level recursion of virtual fonts=10]. \end{document}
If, however, I use Russian characters in the "more realistic" MWE, the error is different.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
\input Remeslo.fd
\newcommand*\remfamily{\usefont{U}{Remeslo}{xl}{n}}
\begin{document}
\remfamily
\fontsize{12mm}{12mm}
\selectfont
БЫСТРЫЙ ЛИС ПРЫГАЕТ ЧЕРЕЗ ЖИРНУЮ СОБАКУ
\end{document}
There are as many errors as Russian characters:
Command \CYRB unavailable in encoding U. Б
Command \CYRERY unavailable in encoding U. БЫ
Command \CYRS unavailable in encoding U. БЫС
Command \CYRT unavailable in encoding U. БЫСТ
etc. What am I missing in the font configuration?
I can use neither Lualatex nor Xelatex due to the issues with the quality of the documents that they render. I had established that the safest approach is to try to load a TTF font due to many issues with other tools.
