psfonts metrics for Textures (1995/08/20)
============================
A selection of metrics from the CTAN fonts/psfonts distribution converted
for use with Textures.
By Constantin Kahn <kahn@math.toronto.edu>, <kahn@math.uni-hannover.de>
Contents
--------
There are three binhexed Compact Pro archives in this collection:
lw35-metrics.cpt.hqx
expands to a metrics suitcase `LW35 psnfss+dvips metrics' which contains
all psnfss and dvips metrics for the basic 35 PostScript fonts. These are
precisely the metrics contained in the psfonts/adobe subdirectories
avantgar, bookman, courier, helvetic, ncntrsbk, palatino, symbol, times,
zapfchan, and zapfding with the exception of the metrics corresponding to
the Helvetica-Light fonts. In addition there is a small suitcase
`8r reencoding' which contains the Textures support for the 8r encoding.
lw35-nodvips.cpt.hqx
expands to a metrics suitcase `LW35 psnfss metrics' which contains a
subset of the suitcase `LW35 psnfss+dvips metrics'; all metrics which are
only relevant for backwards compatibility with dvips metrics have been
removed. For typesetting with the LaTeX2e psnfss package this smaller
suitcase is sufficient. In addition there is a small suitcase
`8r reencoding' which contains the Textures support for the 8r encoding.
lucida-metrics.cpt.hqx
expands to a metrics suitcase `Lucida Bright psnfss metrics' which contains
all metrics in the psfonts/bh/* directories; this set covers most of the
fonts belonging to the Lucida Bright, Lucida NewMath, and Lucida Expert
sets. Two small suitcases `phvluc metrics' and `ptmluc metrics' contain
Lucida based math fonts for Helvetica and Times based on the fontinst
sources in the psnfss distribution. In addition there is a small suitcase
`8r reencoding' which contains the Textures support for the 8r encoding.
Installation
------------
Download the relevant *.cpt.hqx files as text files, debinhex them, and
extract the contents from the resulting archives. (Stuffit Expander will
perform the last two steps if the downloaded files are dropped onto it.)
Then drop the resulting Textures metrics suitcases into the `TeX Fonts'
folder (or into `TeX Metrics'). The `8r reencoding' suitcases contained in
all three archives are identical. Only one is needed in the `TeX Fonts' or
the `TeX Metrics' folder.
IMPORTANT: This will only install the *metrics* in the Textures sense, i.e.,
the equivalent of the `tfm', `vf', and `dvips' subdirectories of individual
font directories. You will still need to download and install all the
required *.fd and *.sty files into a directory where Textures can find them
before the fonts can be used with LaTeX2e.
Requirements: Textures 1.7 or later is required; version 1.7.5 or newer is
recommended.
More comments can be found in the README files contained in the individual
archives.
