============================================================
The emerald fonts for use with LaTeX
============================================================

emerald is a package which gives support for some free ECF
(emerald city fontwerks, http://www.speakeasy.org/~ecf/)
fonts in LaTeX. These fonts are mainly display and/or
handwritten fonts.
The distribution includes the Type1 fonts, all required
files for using them within LaTeX and font map files for
dvips and pdfTeX. File "emerald.pdf" shows all these fonts.
Installing the files
--------------------
A TDS-compliant TeX system, e.g., teTeX, fpTeX, MikTeX,
emTeX/TDS, VTeX/Free is assumed. Target directories which do
not yet exist are to be created first. Copy trees "fonts"
and "tex" into your texmf folder.
Configuring dvips
-----------------
Make dvips read the additional font map file emerald.map.
This is usually accomplished by adding the line
p +emerald.map
to the dvips configuration file. With teTeX, fpTeX or MikTeX
this is texmf/dvips/config/config.ps; with emTeX/TDS
additions should go to texmf\dvips\local\dvips.ini.
On MiKTeX you can instead add the line
Map emerald.map
to file texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg and the run mkfntmap in a
shell window. This will also configure pdfTeX and Yap.
Configuring pdfTeX
------------------
Make pdfTeX read the additional font map file emerald.map.
This is usually accomplished by adding the line
map +emerald.map
to the pdfTeX configuration file. With teTeX, fpTeX or
MikTeX this is texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg.
On MiKTeX you can instead add the line
Map emerald.map
to file texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg and the run mkfntmap in a
shell window. This will also configure dvips and Yap.
Updating the filename database
------------------------------
Certain TeX systems require updating a "filename database"
manually after adding new files. Consult the documentation
of your TeX system!
Using the emerald fonts with LaTeX
----------------------------------
load package emerald.sty (\usepackage{emerald}) which gives
some commands to switch to the new fonts. Read
"doc/emerald.pdf" for details.
Legal notice
------------
The ECF fonts are freeware; but see the acompanying .TXT
files in folder "doc".
