=========================================================== "Springer" font pack for LaTeX as of 2005-06-13 ============================================================ Walter Schmidt w-a-schmidt(at)gmx.net This bundle includes all files required to use the Springer custom typeface families SMinion Plus and SMyriad with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. This collection does not include the actual Type1 fonts, which can be downloaded for free (!) from Springer's web site. Notice, however, that you must not use them, unless you have got a valid license for Adobe's original Minion and Myriad fonts! As compared with Adobe's originals, Springers's SMinion fonts are somewhat darker, so that they look better at small sizes. Both SMinion and SMyriad have improved kerning tables which act on many accented letters, too. 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? ----------- 2005-06-13 Minion Italic Smallcaps are supported. 2005-01-05 macro package sfourier.sty updated to support the latest version 1.4 of the Fourier fonts 2004-08-06 macro package sfourier.sty added (everything else is unchanged) 2003-12-03 support for SMyriad Condensed fonts added 2003-12-02 support for SMyriad fonts added When updating from the 2005-01-05 release... -------------------------------------------- ... or an earlier one, please remove the file texmf/fonts/map/dvips/springer.map manually. It resides in a subdirectory now: texmf/fonts/map/dvips/springer/springer.map Obtaining and installing the Type1 font files --------------------------------------------- (You need not repeat this step when updating from a previous release.) Obtain the ZIP archive or visit and download the ZIP archive PC.zip interactively. Create the following directories in your TeX system: texmf/fonts/type1/springer/minion texmf/fonts/type1/springer/myriad texmf/fonts/type1/springer/pi Unpack all .PFB files from the directory "SMinion_T1" of the archive PC.zip and copy them into the directory texmf/fonts/type1/springer/minion of your TeX system. Unpack all .PFB files from the archive directories "SMyriad Condensed families" and "SMyriad Win 1.1" and copy them into texmf/fonts/type1/springer/myriad. Unpack all .PFB files from the archive directories SSymbol3 and SLogo, and and copy them into the directory texmf/fonts/type1/springer/pi. On Un*x, change the names of the installed .pfb font files to lowercase!!! Installing the TeX support files from the archive sfonts.zip ------------------------------------------------------------ Unpack the ZIP archive sfonts.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 v8 and later * other TDS-compliant TeX systems Configuring teTeX ----------------- Additional font map files (here springer.map) are installed using the shell script "updmap". With teTeX-2.0 and later (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map springer.map With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation how to use the "updmap" script. In case your version of teTeX has no such script at all, please refer to the below section "Configuring other TDS-compliant TeX systems". | The font map file springer.map has been changed with the | release as of 2005-06-13. When updating from an older | release of this collection, you need to execute the | command updmap (without arguments!), in order to make | teTeX use the changed map file. Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file springer.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a record for springer.ali into each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "springer.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... springer.ali } | When updating from a previous release of this | collection, no special action needs to be taken. Configuring other TDS-compliant TeX systems ------------------------------------------- Consult the documentation of your TeX system how to make it use the additional font map file springer.map. Two identical copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips/springer. | The font map file springer.map has been changed with the | release as of 2005-06-13. When updating from an older | release of this collection, take the appropriate actions | to make sure that the changed file will be used. Using the Springer Minion and Myriad fonts with LaTeX ----------------------------------------------------- See the files minion.txt and myriad.txt in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/springer Legal notice ------------ The "Springer" font pack for LaTeX is made up from the files sfonts.txt and sfonts.zip.
