TeX Directory Structure
Standard TDS
Standadrd Directory Structure.
ATM Friendly TDS
This structure keeps all Type 1 fonts in the single
PSFONTS subdirectory instead of TEXMF tree.
This option simplifies managing Type 1 fonts by using ATM Control Panel.
Truncated TDS
This structure has reduced nesting of directories with font files
and TeX input files.
Commonly, Standard TDS is recommended.
However, structures with reduced directory nesting can be useful
to integrate (with BaKoMa TeX) programs that don't support search of
file in subdirectories.
TeX Root Directory
Please enter directory in which you want to install the system.
Preserve File Time (By default is switched ON)
Installer will set file time according to time stored into archives.
Truncate Long File Names (By default is switched OFF)

to support access to these files by full and truncated names.

BaKoMa TeX can display PostScript Type 1 fonts in two ways:
(1) using Adobe Type Manager (FREE ATM Light 4.1 is at
http://www.adobe.com/products/atmlight/main.html )
(2) and/or automatical convertion to TrueType fonts
(this feature is built-in into BaKoMa TeX).
It is not mandatory to use all fonts in the same way.
You can have installed under ATM only frequently used fonts.
Another fonts (not available via ATM) will be rendered via convertion
to TrueType font format.
Any time, You can install (or deinstall) under ATM any set of fonts.
It is recommended, to exit before such operations
BaKoMa Text editor and every copy of DVI Viewer.
To improve appearing of a fonts on a screen use anti-aliasing feature,
that is available under MS Windows 98, NT, 2000, and XP.
To switch on anti-aliasing check on
`Control Panel|Display|Effects|Smooth edges of screen fonts' option.
Under Windows XP:
(1) Open `Display Properties' dialog,
(2) choose `Appearance' tab,
(3) press `Effects' button,
and (4) check on option
`Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts'.
Windows XP supports two types of antialiasing: Standard and ClearType.
Try both methods to choose the best letter appearance on your display.
About 35 Standard PostScript fonts:
BaKoMa TeX don't include Standard PostScript fonts
(Times, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol, etc.) that are in
every PostScript printer.
They are simulated by using Windows Standard Fonts
(TrueType fonts: Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New, SymbolMT)
or by URW Fonts, which may be installed by using
FONTS/PSFONTS.BKZ module.
The rules for font substitution are defined in [PSAliases] section
of PSFONTS.INI file in TEXMF subdirectory. You can change these rules.
However, please edit PSFONTS.INI file in LOCAL directory.
In other side you can install under BaKoMa TeX native 35 fonts.
To do it, you must just put they into LOCAL\FONTS\TYPE1\35FONTS
and rebuild ls-R file by using (Re)Build ls-r command
from dialog opened by `Options|Directories ...' editor command.
You needn't make some configuration records for these fonts,
because they are preconfigured.
