  • Uniform Rendering of XML Encoded Mathematical Content with Opentype Fonts
    i \eutypon24-25" | 2011/1/21 | 8:58 | page 11 | #15 i i i Εὔτυπon, τεῦχος 24-25 — >Okt¸brioc/October 2010 11 Uniform Rendering of XML Encoded Mathematical Content with OpenType Fonts Apostolos Syropoulos 366, 28th October Str. GR-671 00 Xanthi Greece E-mail: asyropoulos at yahoo dot com The new OpenType MATH font table contains important information that can be used to correctly and uniformly render mathematical con- tent (e.g., mathematical formulae, equations, etc.). Until now, all sys- tems in order to render XML encoded mathematical content employed some standard algorithms together with some standard sets of TrueType and/or Type 1 fonts, which contained the necessary glyphs. Unfortu- nately, this approach does not produce uniform results because certain parameters (e.g., the thickness of the fraction line, the scale factor of superscripts/subscripts, etc.) are system-dependant, that is, their exact values will depend on the particular setup of a given system. Fortunately, the new OpenType MATH table can be used to remedy this situation. In particular, by extending renderers so as to be able to render mathemat- ical contents with user-specified fonts, the result will be uniform across systems and platforms. In other words, the proposed technology would allow mathematical content to be rendered the same way ordinary text is rendered across platforms and systems. 1 Introduction The OpenType font format is a new cross-platform font file format developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft. OpenType fonts may contain glyphs with ei- ther cubic B´eziersplines (used in PostScript fonts) or with quadratic B´ezier splines (used in TrueType fonts).

Importance of the number 0 and names for the number 0 in English Umarova Go’zalxon Teacher, Kokand State Pedagogical Institute, Uzbekistan Abdullayeva Marifatxon Teacher, Faculty of Preschool and Primary Education Annotatsiya: Maqolada 0 raqimining etimologiyasi, osiyodan yevropaga kirib kelishi, matematika va matematikadan boshqa fanlarga, yil jadvalida nol raqamining ahamiyati haqida fikr yuritiladi.

Keywords: ṣifr, mathematical term, calculator, Roman, Arabic numerals, elementary algebra Аннотация: В статье обсуждается этимология числа 0, его проникновение из Азии в Европу, важность числа ноль в таблице года, от математики и нематематики до других дисциплин.

The word zero came into the English language via French zéro from Italian zero, Italian contraction of Venetian zevero form of Italian zefiro via ṣafira or ṣifr.In pre-Islamic time the word ṣifr had the meaning "empty". Sifr evolved to mean zero when it was used to translate śūnya Sanskrit from India. The first known English use of zero was in 1598.[1]Depending on the context, there may be different words used for the number zero.

  • CM-Super: Automatic Creation of Efficient Type 1 Fonts from Metafont
    CM-Super: Automatic creation of efficient Type 1 fonts from METAFONT fonts Vladimir Volovich Voronezh State University Moskovsky prosp. 109/1, kv. 75, Voronezh 304077 Russia [email protected] Abstract In this article I describe making the CM-Super fonts: Type 1 fonts converted from METAFONT sources of various Computer Modern font families. The fonts contain a large number of glyphs covering writing in dozens of languages (Latin-based, Cyrillic-based, etc.) and provide outline replacements for the original METAFONT fonts. The CM-Super fonts were produced by tracing the high resolution bitmaps generated by METAFONT with the help of TEXtrace, optimizing and hinting the fonts with FontLab, and applying cleanups and optimizations with Perl scripts. 1 The idea behind the CM-Super fonts There exist free Type 1 versions of the original CM The Computer Modern (CM) fonts are the default fonts, provided by Blue Sky Research, Elsevier Sci- ence, IBM Corporation, the Society for Industrial and most commonly used text fonts with TEX.

  • About Basictex-2021
    About BasicTeX-2021 Richard Koch January 2, 2021 1 Introduction Most TeX distributions for Mac OS X are based on TeX Live, the reference edition of TeX produced by TeX User Groups across the world. Among these is MacTeX, which installs the full TeX Live as well as front ends, Ghostscript, and other utilities | everything needed to use TeX on the Mac. To obtain it, go to http://tug.org/mactex. 2 Basic TeX BasicTeX (92 MB) is an installation package for Mac OS X based on TeX Live 2021. Unlike MacTeX, this package is deliberately small. Yet it contains all of the standard tools needed to write TeX documents, including TeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, MetaFont, dvips, MetaPost, and XeTeX. It would be dangerous to construct a new distribution by going directly to CTAN or the Web and collecting useful style files, fonts and so forth. Such a distribution would run into support issues as the creators move on to other projects. Luckily, the TeX Live install script has its own notion of \installation packages" and collections of such packages to make \installation schemes." BasicTeX is constructed by running the TeX Live install script and choosing the \small" scheme. Thus it is a subset of the full TeX Live with exactly the TeX Live directory structure and configuration scripts. Moreover, BasicTeX contains tlmgr, the TeX Live Manager software introduced in TeX Live 2008, which can install additional packages over the network. So it will be easy for users to add missing packages if needed. Since it is important that the install package come directly from the standard TeX Live distribution, I'm going to explain exactly how I installed TeX to produce the install package.

It emulates the Tektronix 4010, 4012, 4014 and 4016 graphics terminals (a later version we have not yet tested adds VT -100 and VT -640).

It was this program that first enabled us to consider the Macintosh as a replacement for graphics terminals. The Macintosh could not only view plots at its 512X342 resolution, but thanks to the pan and zoom, could view parts of plots at full 4014 (4096X3072) resolution, a feature then available only on much more expensive graphics terminals (some other personal computers now have programs for Tektronix 4010/4014 emulation, but the best known to me Start of waveform, magnified at this time zooms in 4X and only provides 1024X768 resolution at zoom; 4010, not 4014 resolution).
