============================================================ DayRoman font pack for LaTeX as of 2002-01-16 ============================================================ Walter Schmidt <w-a-schmidt@arcor.de> This collection includes the Day-Roman and Day-Roman-Expert Type1 fonts and all required files to them with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. These fonts are a digitally redrawn version of what has come to be historically known as the "Two Line Double Pica Roman", a typeface designed by 16th century French punchcutter Francois Guyot. The character set suits today's requirements (including even an Euro sign), and use of the historic "long s" is supported as an option. The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. The directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of the TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than one such directory tree, the documentation should tell you where to install new files. News ---- 2002-01-16 This release fixes several deficiencies: The f-f ligature, which is provided in the font, is now used. The font family dayroms will now make use of the c-t ligature, too. The s-s ligature (in the font family dayroms only) has been corrected to match the style of the other ligatures. I have also tried to improve the shapes of the zdot and of the letters with ogonek acccent. Last, but not least, I have fixed a grossly misleading typo in the documentation -- please, re-read texmf/doc/fonts/dayroman/dayroman.txt. The fixes affect only the TeX support files in the archive file dayroman.zip, whereas the the actual fonts in the archive day_t1.zip are unchanged. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- Unpack the Type1 font files DAYROM_X.pfb DAYROM__.pfb from the archive file day_t1.zip and move them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/public/dayroman of your TeX system. Unpack also the related .afm files DAYROM__.afm DAYROM_X.afm and move them to texmf/fonts/afm/public/dayroman. Most likely, you need to create the directories first. The remaining files from the archive day_t1.zip are only required to use the fonts with applications other than TeX. Installing the TeX support files from the archive dayroman ---------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive dayroman.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the appropriate directories. Configuring your TeX system --------------------------- The programs of your TeX system must be configured to use an additional font map file for the Day Roman fonts. The required actions vary according to your TeX system. There are different sets of instructions provided for * teTeX-1.0 and teTeX-beta before June 2002, * teTeX-2.0 and later, teTeX-beta as of 6/2002 and later, * VTeX/Free, * other TDS-compliant TeX systems, for instance fpTeX, MikTeX or emTeX/TDS. Configuring teTeX-1.0 (or teTeX-beta before June 2002) ------------------------------------------------------ Additional font map files are installed using the shell script "updmap". Add a record for dayroman.map to the variable extra_modules in the shell script texmf/dvips/config/updmap: extra_modules=" dayroman.map ... possibly further records ... " Enter the directory texmf/dvips/config/updmap and execute the changed shell script: cd texmf/dvips/config ./updmap In case the "updmap" script in your teTeX system has no "extra_modules" variable or does not exist at all, please refer to the below section "Configuring other TDS-compliant TeX systems". Configuring teTeX-2.0 and later (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) ----------------------------------------- Additional font map files are installed using the shell script "updmap". Execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map dayroman.map Configuring VTeX/Free (version 7.00 and later) ---------------------------------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file dayroman.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a record for dayroman.ali into each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "dayroman.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... other records ... dayroman.ali } Configuring other TDS-compliant TeX systems ------------------------------------------- After unpacking of the archive file dayroman.zip, a new font map file dayroman.map resides in the directory texmf/dvips/config. It works for both dvips and pdfTeX. dvips: Make dvips read the additional font map file dayroman.map. Unless the documentation of your TeX system tells something different, this is accomplished by adding the line p +dayroman.map to the dvips configuration file. With teTeX, fpTeX or MikTeX this is texmf/dvips/config/config.ps; with emTeX/TDS additions should go into the "local" configuration file texmf\dvips\config\dvips.ini (or ..\local\dvips.ini). pdfTeX: Make pdfTeX read the additional font map file dayroman.map. Unless the documentation of your TeX system tells something different, this is accomplished by adding the line map +dayroman.map to the pdfTeX configuration file. With teTeX, fpTeX or MikTeX this is texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg. Make sure that pdfTeX finds the map file in the directory texmf/dvips/config. If necessary, copy the map file to a directory which is searched by pdfTeX. Notice that the above steps configure only dvips and pdfTeX. As to other applications, such as dvipdfm or the DVI viewer, please consult the documentation of your TeX system! "Euro" support -------------- Using the \texteuro symbol of the DayRoman font with LaTeX requires a recent version of the encoding vector 8r.enc, which resides usually in the directory texmf/dvips/psnfss. The very latest release of the file 8r.enc is available as <http://tug.org/fontname/8r.enc>. With version 9 or later of the PSNFSS bundle, 8r.enc supports the Euro symbol already. 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 Day Roman typeface with LaTeX --------------------------------------- See the file dayroman.txt, which should have been copied to the directory texmf/doc/fonts/dayroman. Support ------- The DayRoman and DayRoman-Expert fonts, which are provided in the archive file day_t1.zip, were made by Apostrophiclab. Any comments or questions regarding their design should be addressed to <apostrophe@apostrophiclab.com>. The fonts are also available in Type1 format for Macintosh or in TrueType format: <http://www.hardcovermedia.com/lab/Pages/Fontpages/dayroman.html> Questions or bug reports regarding the TeX support files in the archive dayroman.zip should be addressed to Walter Schmidt <w-a-schmidt@arcor.de> Legal notice ----------- The DayRoman and DayRoman-Expert fonts are provided for free by Apostrophiclab <http://www.apostrophiclab.com>. You may redistribute them, as long as the archive file (day_t1.zip) is kept intact, and no money is charged.
