## Encodings

The following sections define various encodings as PostScript encoding vectors. These files can be installed in the Dvips header directory and then used in `psfonts.map` to change font encodings of downloadable or builtin fonts (see psfonts.map).

You can also specify these `.enc` files to Afm2tfm when building a font (see Changing font encodings).

For a discussion of TeX font encodings in general, and defining new ones for use with `fontinst` in particular, see http://www.ctan.org/fonts/utilities/fontinst/doc/encspecs.
