The purpose of the "Gurmukhi for TeX" software package is to convert the
characters in a document from English Alphabet to Gurmukhi utilizing the
TeX and Metafont software packages. Gurmukhi is a script for the Punjabi
language mostly used in North India.
TeX is a typesetting system is a trademark of the American Mathematical
Society, used widely on Unix systems, and occassionally on other
operating environments. Metafont, a trademark of Addison Wesley
Publishing Company, is a font generation tool used by TeX. Both TeX and
Metafont are free software packages which can be downloaded from a TeX
archive sites. A working knowledge of TeX will greatly help in using
this package.
This software package is greatly inspired by "Devanagari for TeX" which
is written by Frans J. Velthuis. I would like to thank him for giving
me permission to change his software package to support Gurmukhi.
This package consists of following file:
gurmukhi.c C-source code of preprocessor
gmmacs.tex macro file for TeX
defs.mf, gmchars.mf, grmk8.mf, grmk9.mf, grmk10.mf
METAFONT-Source code of Gurmukhi characters.
grmk8.tfm, grmk9.tfm, grmk10.tfm
TFM Font format of Gurmukhi characters.
readme This file, describing this package.
install.ux File with some help on installation in Unix env.
install.dos Some help to install this package on DOS.
manual.gm and manual.ps
Manual on how to create documents using this package
bani.gm and eg.gm
Example files with Gurmukhi characters and other
information.
known.prob Known issues, and your help will be appreciated.
All these files are put together in a tar file such that at the time of
extraction all file go into same directory. For every specific operating
environment, these files may need to move to different directories, and
that information is provided in install.* file for that environment.
Details of each file included in this package:
o gurmukhi.c, is the c-source file for preprocessor and you would need to
create an executable file by compiling this with a c compiler. I
believe, compilation should be fairly easy on any environment as the
source code has no system dependency.
The purpose of this preprocessor is to convert text in a .gm file to a
.tex file in a format understanable by TeX.
o gmmacs.tex, contains macros for TeX, and should be included in your
text file. This file has macros for fonts, for spacing and for other
macros which are generated by the Gurmukhi preprocessor.
o *.mf, are the METAFONT source files for Gurmukhi fonts in various
point sizes. These files will be used to produce Gurmukhi fonts in
different formats.
o *.tfm are the font files in TFM format. A TFM file can be generated
from a MF file using METAFONT. Usually, TeX internally calls METAFONT
to create required files.
o manual.* contain the information on preparing an input text file (.gm)
and use of this package in detail. A postscript version of this manual
is also included, which can be directly sent to a postscript printer.
It may be useful, to get information on the package, while writing an
input text file.
o *.gm, are some file to serve as examples. These can be used to
understand the features of a Gurmukhi text, and can also be used
as input text to see if the installation is complete.
