Both normal and bold versions are provided. +This is one in a series of manuscript fonts. + + Access to the docmfp package is desireable but not essential. + + The distribution consists of the following files: +README (this file) +carolmin.ins +carolmin.dtx +tryfont.tex +allfont.tex + + The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX +Project Public License (LPPL). + +To install the package: +======================= + +o run: latex carolmin.ins, which will generate: + cmin*.mf files + *.fd files + carolmin.sty + allcmin.sty +o Move the generated files to locations where LaTeX will find them. + For example: the cmin*.mf files to .../texmf/fonts/source/public/carolmin + the *.fd and *.sty files to /texmf/tex/latex/local/carolmin + + On a teTeX distribution you might also have to add lines like the + following to texmf/fontname/special.map: + cmin7.mf public carolmin + cmin10.mf public carolmin + cmin17.mf public carolmin + cminb7.mf public carolmin + cminb10.mf public carolmin + cminb17.mf public carolmin + On a teTeX distribution remember to run texhash after moving the files. + + (I use a teTeX distribution and found that if I didn't add to the special.map + file, then the generated tfm and pk files were put in directories corresponding + to some vendor's font.) + + Other LaTeX distributions might require procedures similar to those for teTeX. + +To typeset the documentation: +============================= + +o run: latex carolmin.dtx +o if you want an index then run: makeindex -s gind.ist carolmin +o run: latex carolmin.dtx +o Print carolmin.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual + + Note that the docmfp package is normally required for LaTeXing carolmin.dtx. +The package is available from CTAN in tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported. +If you haven't got this and don't want to get it, then there are instructions +in the first part of the .dtx file about how to edit it to avoid the use of docmfp. +(docmfp is an extension of the doc package for describing METAFONT, or other +non-LaTeX, code.) + + +To check out your installation: +=============================== + +o run: latex tryfont for a testpage of the fonts +o run: latex allfont for a document typeset with the fonts + +2002/12/30 +Peter Wilson +peter.r.wilson@boeing.com |
