It is devided into two parts: instructions + for Unix users and Instructions for DOS emTeX users. I would + like to hope that these two categories represent a majority + of TeX users and I apologize for not extending specialised + instructions to users of other systems. For those of you that do + not fall in the two categories do not panic! Read the DOS + section and procede with the same steps. Just change the + paths and executables to match the ones in your system. + + +Part A: Unix Users +-------------------------- + + What you need: + To rebuild the whole GreekTeX package you need to have + access to the metafont and initex programs as well + as the ability to integrate new fonts and formats + to the search path of the local tex distribution. + You also need the gftopk utility for transforming + mf output to dvi readable form. For automated installation + you need a "standard" unix 'make' program, and the + 'dc' calculator. If you do not have any of these you + will have to do the job by hand. If you do not have + the dc calculator you can still build the fonts + by altering the script to suit your own needs. + You also need to know the resolution of the local + printer. Finally you can do with a bit of patience. + + Procedure: + The installation procedure follows the steps: + * build and install the fonts in the + standard path (both pk and tfm files) + * build the greek format files for both + greekTeX and grlatex. + * place the files in the appropriate + directory + * do a test run to see how it looks! + + How to procede for an automated installation: + ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + STEP DESCRIPTION + -> 0 Find a suitable place to unpack the file + kdgreek3.1.tar.Z. Let us call the subdirectory + kdgreek3.1/ where all the files will be the + TOP directory. + -> 1 First edit the file unix/newfont. If a similar + script exists in your system the just forget it + and mode to the step 2. In particular set the + default paths and executable names to point + to the right direction and make sure the file + has the execute attribute set. + -> 2 Edit the Makefile at the TOP directory to + reflect the paths and setting of your own system. + It should be easy and straightforward and not many + changes should be needed in a standard distribution. + -> 3 Make the fonts: at the shell prompt type + make fonts + This will try to create the greek fonts for all + needed magnification levels and place them at + their proper place (all the job is done by the + newfont script in the unix directory or the + newfont script that you set in the makefile). + Do not be alarmed if "stange Pos " occur at some + fonts and magnifications. The fonts are still in + experimental stage and do have problems. If your + version of metafont stops at a '?' prompt just + hit return to continue. + -> 4 You can now build the formats. give the command + make formats + this will build both greek.fmt and lgreek.fmt in + the build subdirectory. Log files will be in the + log subiderctory of build. + -> 5 Install everything in its proper place by + executing the command: + make install + This will place everything in the proper place + and have you ready to go. + -> 6 Try the system out: go to the doc doc subdir + and type + greektex usage + then see what happens. + + +Part B: DOS emTeX users +------------------------------- + + What you need: + In order to use GreekTeX on a PC running DOS and emTeX + you will need mf and friends to create the fonts (mfjob + for automated procedures) plain tex and latex bearing + version 3.0 or later (that is the format file not the + executable). + + How to procede: + Unpack the distribution where convenient. If you got + GreekTeX as greektex.zip the use [pk]unzip -d greektex + at an apropriate directory. You can delete the unix, + utils directories and the makefile since they are + intended for unix users. + + -> 1 Copy the file emtex/kdgreek.mfj to the MFJOB path or + in the mf directory. cd to the mf directory and + give the command mfjob -i kdgreek. If everything goes + well you will end up with a new bunch of fonts in + the proper directories. + -> 2 cd to tex and type + tex -i -8 greek \dump + This will create the files greek.fmt and greek.log + Move greek.fmt to the directory where you normally + store the format files (e.g. emtex/btexfmts) and + delete the file greek.log after reviewing the messages. + -> 3 cd to latex and type + tex -i -8 lgreek \dump + Repeat the same procedure as in step 2 for copying the + lgreek.fmt and removing the lgreek.log file. + -> 4 copy the files in the tex, latex directories to the + default search path of emtex (e.g. /emtex/inputs) + If you will be using a greek ISO character set for + modern greek you might also want to copy the files + emtex/greek.* to your inputs dir. + ->5 Finally move the emtex/*.bat files to the emtex bin + directory and you are all set to go. + ->6 Test the system by cd to doc and doing + greektex usage.tex + + GOOD LUCK + +Please send comments and bug reports to kd@doc.ic.ac.uk + +DISCLAIMER: + Although I have put much effort in eliminating bugs, the + greekTeX package is still in experimental phase. If you + decide to use the package please do not blame me for any + problems that may arise from its use. I cannot be held + responsible for any problems and I cannot gurantee + bug fixes (although I guarantee that in due time I will + look over all reports and suggestions). + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +K J Dryllerakis Deparment of Computing +Logic Programming Group Imperial College, LONDON +Janet: kd @uk.ac.ic.doc Tel: +44(71) 589 5111 x5089 +Uucp : kd@icdoc.UUCP Internet: kd@doc.ic.ac.uk +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + |
