The character set suits today's +requirements (including even an Euro sign), and use of the +historic "long s" is supported as an option. + +The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant +TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. The +directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of the +TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than +one such directory tree, the documentation should tell you +where to install new files. + + + +News +---- +2002-01-16 +This release fixes several deficiencies: The f-f ligature, +which is provided in the font, is now used. The font family +dayroms will now make use of the c-t ligature, too. The s-s +ligature (in the font family dayroms only) has been +corrected to match the style of the other ligatures. I have +also tried to improve the shapes of the zdot and of the +letters with ogonek acccent. Last, but not least, I have +fixed a grossly misleading typo in the documentation -- +please, re-read texmf/doc/fonts/dayroman/dayroman.txt. The +fixes affect only the TeX support files in the archive file +dayroman.zip, whereas the the actual fonts in the archive +day_t1.zip are unchanged. + + + +Installing the Type1 font files +------------------------------- +Unpack the Type1 font files + + DAYROM_X.pfb + DAYROM__.pfb + +from the archive file day_t1.zip and move them to the +directory texmf/fonts/type1/public/dayroman of your TeX +system. Unpack also the related .afm files + + DAYROM__.afm + DAYROM_X.afm + +and move them to texmf/fonts/afm/public/dayroman. +Most likely, you need to create the directories first. +The remaining files from the archive day_t1.zip are only +required to use the fonts with applications other than TeX. + + + +Installing the TeX support files from the archive dayroman +---------------------------------------------------------- +Unpack the ZIP archive dayroman.zip in the directory "texmf" +of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the +appropriate directories. + + + +Configuring your TeX system +--------------------------- +The programs of your TeX system must be configured to use an +additional font map file for the Day Roman fonts. The +required actions vary according to your TeX system. There +are different sets of instructions provided for + + * teTeX-1.0 and teTeX-beta before June 2002, + * teTeX-2.0 and later, teTeX-beta as of 6/2002 and later, + * VTeX/Free, + * other TDS-compliant TeX systems, for instance fpTeX, + MikTeX or emTeX/TDS. + + +Configuring teTeX-1.0 (or teTeX-beta before June 2002) +------------------------------------------------------ +Additional font map files are installed using the shell +script "updmap". Add a record for dayroman.map to the +variable extra_modules in the shell script +texmf/dvips/config/updmap: + + extra_modules=" + dayroman.map + ... possibly further records ... + " + +Enter the directory texmf/dvips/config/updmap and execute +the changed shell script: + + cd texmf/dvips/config + ./updmap + +In case the "updmap" script in your teTeX system has no +"extra_modules" variable or does not exist at all, please +refer to the below section "Configuring other TDS-compliant +TeX systems". + + +Configuring teTeX-2.0 and later +(or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) +----------------------------------------- +Additional font map files are installed using the shell +script "updmap". Execute the following commands: + + texhash + updmap --enable Map dayroman.map + + +Configuring VTeX/Free (version 7.00 and later) +---------------------------------------------- +Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file +dayroman.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a +record for dayroman.ali into each of the configuration files + + texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm +and + texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm + +The name "dayroman.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of +the above-mentioned files: + + TYPE1 { + ... other records ... + dayroman.ali + } + + +Configuring other TDS-compliant TeX systems +------------------------------------------- +After unpacking of the archive file dayroman.zip, a new font +map file dayroman.map resides in the directory +texmf/dvips/config. It works for both dvips and pdfTeX. + +dvips: + Make dvips read the additional font map file dayroman.map. + Unless the documentation of your TeX system tells + something different, this is accomplished by adding the + line + + p +dayroman.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 + dayroman.map. Unless the documentation of your TeX system + tells something different, this is accomplished by adding + the line + + map +dayroman.map + + to the pdfTeX configuration file. With teTeX, fpTeX or + MikTeX this is texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg. Make sure + that pdfTeX finds the map file in the directory + texmf/dvips/config. If necessary, copy the map file to a + directory which is searched by pdfTeX. + +Notice that the above steps configure only dvips and pdfTeX. +As to other applications, such as dvipdfm or the DVI viewer, +please consult the documentation of your TeX system! + + + +"Euro" support +-------------- +Using the \texteuro symbol of the DayRoman font with LaTeX +requires a recent version of the encoding vector 8r.enc, +which resides usually in the directory texmf/dvips/psnfss. +The very latest release of the file 8r.enc is available as +<http://tug.org/fontname/8r.enc>. With version 9 or later +of the PSNFSS bundle, 8r.enc supports the Euro symbol +already. + + + +Updating the filename database +------------------------------ +Certain TeX systems require updating a "filename database" +manually after adding new files. Consult the documentation +of your TeX system! + + + +Using the Day Roman typeface with LaTeX +--------------------------------------- +See the file dayroman.txt, which should have been copied to +the directory texmf/doc/fonts/dayroman. + + + +Support +------- +The DayRoman and DayRoman-Expert fonts, which are provided +in the archive file day_t1.zip, were made by Apostrophiclab. +Any comments or questions regarding their design should be +addressed to <apostrophe@apostrophiclab.com>. + +The fonts are also available in Type1 format for Macintosh +or in TrueType format: +<http://www.hardcovermedia.com/lab/Pages/Fontpages/dayroman.html> + +Questions or bug reports regarding the TeX support files +in the archive dayroman.zip should be addressed to +Walter Schmidt <w-a-schmidt@arcor.de> + + + +Legal notice +----------- +The DayRoman and DayRoman-Expert fonts are provided for free +by Apostrophiclab <http://www.apostrophiclab.com>.
