It took more than a year of work in fits and starts to understand how the jalopy of bits and pieces go together to make a font work with LaTeX. [The Comprehensive LaTeXe Symbol List](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/ "CTAN") does not currently include this set, but on completion all of these files will be ready to upload in the correct formats for inclusion. These are implemented as a standard TeX math symbol font, implemented with custom Metafont sources, rendered on-the-fly as needed by LaTeX. Also provided in this package is a PostScript Type-1 version of the font. Symbols are accessed through macros defined in this package. + +Installation +------------ + ++ run latex on esrelation.ins to generate sty, mf, fd files + > $ latex esrelation.ins + ++ run latex (or pdflatex) on esrelation.dtx to generate documentation (including detailed installation instructions) + > $ pdflatex esrelation.dtx + ++ determine the location of your local TeX tree by running + > $ kpsewhich --var-val TEXMFLOCAL + + (this value will henceforth be referred to as ‘TEXMFLOCAL’) + ++ install esrelation.sty and uesrelation.fd in + > TEXMFLOCAL/tex/latex/esrelation + ++ install esrelation.mf and esrelation10.mf in + > TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/source/public/esrelation + ++ install esrelation10.pfb in + > TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/type1/public/esrelation + ++ install esrelation.map in + > TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/map/dvips/esrelation + +**NB**: all created directories should be set to mode 755 and all of the above files should be set to mode 644. + ++ update LaTeX font database + > $ sudo -H mktexlsr + ++ update TeX font map + > $ sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map=esrelation.map + ++ udpate the font database again + > $ sudo -H mktexlsr + +Resources +--------- + +Up-to-date source code is hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/reinfurt/ESRELATION). + +More information about installing TeX fonts can be found [here](https://www.tug.org/fonts/fontinstall.html). + +License +------- +This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c of this license or (at your option) any later version.
