Attention TeX/LaTeX users!!
Christopher League has developed a series of scripts and control files that drive 'fontinst' (by Alan Jeffrey and others) and generate all the TeX support files and font maps specific to the fonts on the FontSite 500 CD. He has released the files to the public domain, and is distributing the scripts that create them under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Now, a huge variety of essential typefaces are available to TeX/LaTeX users who purchase the FontSite 500 CD and download these files. Click here for more information and download links.

Perhaps “guidelines” would be a better word, but there are some things in typography that you really oughta do, as well as some other things you really ought notta do.
