On Mon, 15 Feb 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the 

  installfont

package.

Location on CTAN: /support/installfont
Summary description:  A bash script for installing a Postscript Type1 font family. 
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this script you can install a Postscript Type1 font family (at least the four
basic cuts + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts) for using
it with LaTeX (MiKTeX). The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal)
or will otherwise expect the *.pfb and *.afm files named in the Karl Berry scheme
(e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). Just adapt the script variables to your fonts and directories.
After running it, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.

License: LPPL

New in v1.2:

 - added the options scaled and leading to the created style file to scale the font
   for better matching with other fonts and to increase the leading between lines
