Box 800 9700 AV Groningen, The Netherlands siepo (at) cybercomm dot nl Abstract For one-off projects, you can cut corners with font installation and end up with a more manageable set of files and a cleaner TEX installation.

First, we copy not We won’t really install the fonts; we just generate the only epsrc___.pfb but also epsrc___.afm to the working directory. We need the latter file to generate files that TEX needs and leave them where TEX will find them, i.e. in the working directory. This makes the .tfm file. Next, we enter the following commands it easy to take the project to another system, and easy on a command line: to clean things up. afm2pl -p ot1 epscr___.afm epscr7t.pl We will primarily use afm2pl to generate .tfm pltotf epscr7t (TEX Font Metric) files.

  • The File Cmfonts.Fdd for Use with Latex2ε
    The file cmfonts.fdd for use with LATEX 2".∗ Frank Mittelbach Rainer Sch¨opf 2019/12/16 This file is maintained byA theLTEX Project team. Bug reports can be opened (category latex) at https://latex-project.org/bugs.html. 1 Introduction This file contains the external font information needed to load the Computer Modern fonts designed by Don Knuth and distributed with TEX. From this file all .fd files (font definition files) for the Computer Modern fonts, both with old encoding (OT1) and Cork encoding (T1) are generated. The Cork encoded fonts are known under the name ec fonts. 2 Customization If you plan to install the AMS font package or if you have it already installed, please note that within this package there are additional sizes of the Computer Modern symbol and math italic fonts. With the release of LATEX 2", these AMS `extracm' fonts have been included in the LATEX font set. Therefore, the math .fd files produced here assume the presence of these AMS extensions. For text fonts in T1 encoding, the directive new selects the new (version 1.2) DC fonts. For the text fonts in OT1 and U encoding, the optional docstrip directive ori selects a conservatively generated set of font definition files, which means that only the basic font sizes coming with an old LATEX 2.09 installation are included into the \DeclareFontShape commands. However, on many installations, people have added missing sizes by scaling up or down available Metafont sources. For example, the Computer Modern Roman italic font cmti is only available in the sizes 7, 8, 9, and 10pt.

  • The Pdftex Users Manual
    PDFTEX users manual Hàn Thê Thành Sebastian Rahtz Hans Hagen Hartmut Henkel Contents 1 Introduction 9 Character translation 2 About PDF 10 Limitations of PDFTEX 3 Getting started 4 Macro packages supporting PDFTEX Abbreviations 5 Setting up fonts Examples of HZ and protruding 6 Formal syntax specification Additional PDF keys 7 New primitives Colophon 8 Graphics and color GNU Free Documentation License 1 Introduction The main purpose of the pdfTEX project is to create and maintain an extension of TEX that can produce pdf directly from TEX source files and improve/enhance the result of TEX typesetting with the help of pdf. When pdf output is not selected, pdfTEX produces normal dvi output, otherwise it generates pdf output that looks identical to the dvi output. An important aspect of this project is to investigate alternative justification algorithms (e. g. a font expansion algorithm akin to the hz micro--typography algorithm by Prof. Hermann Zapf), optionally making use of multiple master fonts. pdfTEX is based on the original TEX sources and Web2c, and has been successfully compiled on Unix, Win32 and MSDos systems. It is under active development, with new features trickling in. Great care is taken to keep new pdfTEX versions backward compatible with earlier ones. For some years there has been a ‘moderate’ successor to TEX available, called ε-TEX. Because mainstream macro packages such as LATEX have started supporting this welcome extension, pdfTEX also is available as pdfeTEX. Although in this document we will speak of pdfTEX, we advise users to use pdfeTEX when available.That way they get the best of all worlds and are ready for the future.

  • The Verdana Font Package∗
    The verdana font package∗ Walter Daems ([email protected]) January 9, 2016 1 Introduction This package is only useful when using standard LATEX. If you use XELATEXor LuaLATEX, access to fonts has been greatly simplified. In that case, you don't need this package. 'Verdana' is a common font that can be downloaded from: http: //prdownloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe?download The font is readily available on machines with a Microsoft oper- ating system. The wrapper provides a T1 encoded font. The wrapper would be most straightforward weren't it for the ligature problems that Verdana exhibits. The core of the problem is that over the years, Microsoft removed several glyphs from the font, including the ligatures ’fi’ and ’fl’ (on the T1 octal positions 34 and 35). The font version 2006 (as it can be downloaded from sourceforge), still has the ligatures. In version 2008 they have been removed. In version 2010, even more glyphs have been removed. The reason for removing these glyphs is unclear to me. To overcome these issues, the wrapper provides an option 'nofligs' (shorthand for 'no f-ligatures'), that disables the invo- cation of these ligatures involving f. ∗This document corresponds to verdana 1.2b, dated 2016/01/08. 1 If a testpage, or a testfont page generated with TEX shows miss- ing ligatures, then just use the options 'nofligs'. Most standard TEX installations do embed fonts in PDF files. How- ever, in case your PDF document does not contain embedded fonts, make sure, when handing over a PDF document contain- ing Verdana to your publishing company, to check wether their version of Verdana contains the fi and fl glyphs.

  • 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.
