                 | THE COMPREHENSIVE LATEX SYMBOL LIST  |

The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List is an organized list of over 25700
symbols commonly available to LaTeX users.  Some of these symbols are
guaranteed to be available in every TeX distribution.  Others require
font files that come with many, but not all, TeX distributions.  The
rest require font files that must be downloaded explicitly from CTAN
(http://www.ctan.org/) and installed.  The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol
List currently showcases symbols from 236 separate typefaces.

The same directory that contains this README file also contains (1)
prebuilt versions of the symbol list for both A4- and U.S. Letter-sized
paper (symbols-a4.pdf and symbols-letter.pdf), (2) raw font tables for
the various fonts used in the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List
(rawtables-a4.pdf and rawtables-letter.pdf), and (3) a text file named
SYMLIST that lists all symbols that appear in the symbols list, with one
column indicating the character or control sequence one would use in a
LaTeX document and one column indicating the actual control sequence
used internally by the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List,

If you'd like to build symbols.tex yourself (not recommended for normal
use), a Makefile and a number of helper scripts are provided.
symbols.tex tries to be smart about LaTeX packages; it omits tables of
symbols that require unavailable packages.  The "Document
Characteristics" table appearing near the end of the document lists the
packages that were unavailable during the build.

The prebuilt versions of the symbol list use primarily vector fonts,
which should look good at any resolution and on any output device.
However, some of the fonts used by symbols.tex are available only in a
METAFONT-generated bitmap format.  The prebuilt symbol lists utilize
1200 DPI versions of all of the bitmapped fonts as 1200 DPI is a
reasonably high printer resolution and therefore should obscure the
artifacts of bitmap rendering.

The following bitmapped fonts were used to typeset the symbol list:
