They didn't work with the new MiKTeX + package handling system. Also added a lost table, + added an example and corrected a few spelling + mistakes in the documentation. + 2.0 Added type1 versions for the main types of the + allrunes fonts, and support for them in the LaTeX package. + Merged the former Scandinavian-Gothic and the Continental + font families to a Common Germanic font family. Renamed the + commands for flipping and turning runes. Made the commands + for flipping and turning runes work for all six font families. + Inserted kerning information for the Common Germanic and + Anglo-Frisian font families. Complemented the sets of runes + with a few more, especially the Medieval one. Corrected many + spelling mistakes in the documentation. + 2.1 Modified the handling of type1 fontes to take advantage + of the new map-file handling system of MiKTeX- and teTeX- + implementations. Removed a bug that prevented the use of + medieval rune with straight twigs. Minor updates to the + documentation. + 2.1.1 Bugfix. \S and \P didn't work in ordinary text. + Updated the installation instructions in this file. + + +FILES AND DIRECTORIES AT CTAN + README.txt This file. + allrunes.dtx The source for the allrunes Metafont fonts and + LaTeX package. + allrunes.ins Driver file for allrunes.dtx + allrunes.ps PostScript version of the documentation, + using only mf (pk) fonts. + allrunes.pdf Pdf version of the documentation, + using only type1 fonts. + type1 Directory for the type1 fonts, containing: + pfb Directory for the pfb files + allrunes.map Map file for mapping the type1 file names + +REQUIREMENTS + The installation of the allrunes package requires the docstrip + package. Using the allrunes package requires the ifthen package. + Processing the documentation for the allrunes package requires + the fontenc package and the ec fonts. I do not know what version + of LaTeX is required. + +INSTALLATION (OF THE LATEX PACKAGE AND THE METAFONT SOURCE FILES) + The installation procedure is described in the documentation, but + since there is weak catch 22, in that you might need the fonts to + produce the documentation, and you might need the documentation to + install the fonts, it's also described here. The descriptions below + are intended to be correct for MiKTeX version 2.9, and for + texlive version 2012 in ubuntu. + + 1. Download the files allrunes.ins and allrunes.dtx to a preferably + empty directory. If you intend to keep the documentation, you'd + better create a suitable directory and put the files there right + now; like + <tex doc base>/fonts/allrunes/ + In a typical MiKTeX system it would be + C:\Local TeX Files\doc\fonts\allrunes\ + (See "Integrating Local Additions" in the MiKTeX-documentation.) + In a texlive system it might be like + /usr/local/share/texmf/doc/fonts/allrunes/ + 2. Start a window where you can enter commands from the keyboard, + i.e. get an DOS prompt on a Windows machine or a xterm-window + on a UNIX/linux machine. It might be necessery to run as Administrator + in Windows or as root (or using sudo) in UNIX/linux. Keep this window + open, you will need it throughout the entire installation. + 3. Go to the directory where you did put the files allrunes.dtx + and allrunes.ins + 4. Run the command + latex allrunes.ins + Some 231 files are generated. + 5. Move all the 224 *.mf files to a suitable directory, preferably + <font source base>/public/allrunes/ + which in a typical MiKTeX system would be + C:\Local TeX Files\fonts\source\public\allrunes\ + In a texlive system it might be like + /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/allrunes/ + 6. Move the 6 *.fd files and the file allrunes.sty + to a suitable directory, preferably + <tex base>/tex/latex/allrunes/ + which in a typical MiKTeX system would be + C:\Local TeX Files\tex\latex\allrunes\ + In a typical texlive system it would be like + /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/allrunes/ + 7. Refresh the file name database. In MiKTeX 2.9 you just would run + initexmf --admin --update-fndb + or find it somewhere in Start|Program|MiKTeX 2.9|Maintenance(Admin)| + |Settings(Admin)... + In texlive you would just run + texhash + 8. Run the command + latex allrunes.dtx + to produce the documentation and test the installation. + Run it one more time to resolve the references, before + you view it. + +INSTALLATION (OF THE TYPE1 FONT FILES) + + Installation of the type1 fonts requires the allrunes package + to be installed according to the above description. Make sure + that both LaTeX and dvips works fine with the Metafont + fonts before you install the type1 fonts. + + 1. Move all the files (named fru??.pfb) from the type1/pfb + directory to a suitable directory, preferably + <type1 font base>/public/allrunes + which in a typical MiKTeX system would be + C:\Local TeX Files\fonts\type1\public\allrunes\ + and in a texlive system it might be like + /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/allrunes/ + 2. Move the file allrunes.map from the type1 directory + to some suitable directory, like + <dvips base>/allrunes + which in a typical MiKTeX system would be + C:\Local TeX Files\fonts\map\dvips\allrunes\ + and in a texlive system it might be like + /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/allrunes/ + 3. In a MiKTeX 2.9 system, run + initexmf --admin --edit-config-file=updmap + to edit the updmap.cfg-file; in that file, add the following line: + MixedMap allrunes.map + then Save, and Exit the editor. + Then, in a MiKTeX system, refresh the file name database, see paragraph 7 above. + In a texlive system, first refresh the file name database, see paragraph 7 above, + then run the command: + updmap-sys --enable MixedMap=allrunes.map + 4. Update the other .map files. In MiKTeX 2.9 you run + initexmf --admin --mkmaps -v + and in texlive you run + update-updmap + updmap-sys + 5. Run + latex allrunes.dtx + then try both + dvips -Ppk allrunes + (which will use the bitmapped pk fonts) and + dvips -Poutline allrunes + (which will use the outline type1 fonts). You might also try + pdflatex allrunes.dtx + |
