=========================================================== "LuxiMono" font pack for LaTeX ============================================================ 2004-01-26 WalterSchmidt w.a.schmidt@gmx.net This bundle includes the LuxiMono Type1 fonts and all required files to use them with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. LuxiMono is a family of general-purpose monospaced (typewriter) fonts. They are original designs by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow from Bigelow and Holmes Inc., who developed the Luxi typeface designs in Ikarus digital format. URW++ Design and Development GmbH converted the Ikarus format fonts to TrueType and Type 1 font programs and implemented the grid-fitting "hints" and kerning tables in the Luxi fonts. The Luxi fonts include the Euro symbol. Accessing it through the textcompanion encoding and the command \texteuro needs at least version 9 of the PSNFSS system. The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. Yet they may not exactly fit your particular TeX system; please, consult its documentation, too! The directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of a TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than one directory tree, its documentation should tell you where to install new files. What's new? ----------- 2004-01-26 Package luximono.sty: minor bug fix, regarding the implementation of the package option "scaled=...". Changed location of the font map file ul9.ali for VTeX; the file resides now in the directory fonts/map/vtex, rather than vtex/config, so as to comply with TDS 1.0 2003-03-02 fixed the asterisk characters, so that they are vertically centered now Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 font files ul9b8a.pfb ul9bo8a.pfb ul9r8a.pfb ul9ro8a.pfb are to be copied to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/public/luxi of your TeX system, and the related .afm files should go into texmf/fonts/afm/public/luxi Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive ul9.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive ul9.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the appropriate directories. Updating the filename database ------------------------------ Many TeX systems require manual updating of a "filename database" after adding of new files. Please, consult the documentation of your TeX system! Configuring your TeX system --------------------------- The following steps vary, according to your TeX system. There are different sets of instructions provided for * teTeX * VTeX/Free, * other TDS-compliant TeX systems Configuring teTeX ----------------- Use the shell script "updmap" to add the font map file named "ul9.map" to the configuration. See the documentation of your particular teTeX version how to use the script. Configuring VTeX/Free (v8.00 and later) --------------------------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file ul9.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a record for ul9.ali into each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "ul9.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... ul9.ali } Configuring other TDS-compliant TeX systems ------------------------------------------- After unpacking of the archive file ul9.zip, a font map file ul9.map for the LuxiMono fonts resides in the directory texmf/dvips/config. It works for both dvips and pdfTeX. | | Consult the documentation of your TeX system how to make | it use this additional font map file! | If the documentation of your TeX system does _not_ explain how to install additional map files, the following steps should work in most cases for dvips and pdfTeX. dvips: Make dvips read the additional font map file ul9.map. This is usually accomplished by adding the line p +ul9.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 ul9.map. This is usually accomplished by adding the line map +ul9.map to the pdfTeX configuration file. With teTeX, fpTeX or MikTeX this is texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg. Note that configuring other programs such as dvipdfm or the DVI viewer is _not_ explained here; the required actions vary too much among the TeX systems.
