Consult the documentation of +your TeX system for how to do so! + + + +Using the Lucida fonts with LaTeX +--------------------------------- +The file texmf/doc/fonts/lucida/lucida.txt includes some +usage notes and a list of all available font families, +series and shapes with their NFSS classification. + + + +How this collection was created +------------------------------- +The font metrics, virtual fonts and .fd files for the T1 and +TS1 encodings were created using fontinst 1.928. +The sources are available as ZIP archive file +lucida-fontinst.zip; note that there is no need to unpack +and install it if you only want to _use_ the fonts! + +The font metric files for the LY1 encoded text fonts, as +well as the metrics for the math fonts, are those that were +formerly distributed by Y&Y. + + + +License +------- +Copyright 2006 Walter Schmidt + +This work may be distributed and/or modified under the +conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version +1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. + +The latest version of this license is in + http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt +and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX +version 2005/12/01 or later. + +This work has the LPPL maintenance status `maintained'. +The Current Maintainer of this work is Walter Schmidt. + +This work consists of all files disributed through the CTAN +directory fonts/metrics/bh/lucida/. + + + +History +------- +2008-05-06 + + license (LPPL) added + +2006-03-23 + + Include tfm names too. + +2005-11-14 + + Editorial/English changes. + +2005-09-15 + + Font family hlhj with oldstyle figures added. + Documentation (doc/fonts/lucida/lucida.txt) updated + accordingly. + +2005-08-24 + + Changed directory layout: + Metrics, VFs and Type1 fonts are no longer spread over + several directories each, and the documentation resides in + <texmf>/doc/fonts/lucida now. Thus, all bottom-level + directories have the name "lucida" (which works well with + TeX Live, although it is not required by the TDS.) + + The font map files lucidabr.map and lumath.map have been + concatenated to one single file named "lucida.map"; and + there is only one single map file "lucida.ali" for VTeX, + too. + + Map files using standard ("Karl Berry style") names for + the Type1 font files have been abolished, since both + MikTeX and TeX Live seem to prefer the original file + names. + (Note, however, that all tfm and vf files carry _standard_ + names, because the original names would not be able to + distinguish between LY1, T1 and TS1 encoding.) + + \texteuro is now provided in _all_ TS1-encoded fonts; when + there is no such character in the physical Type1 font, it + is faked. + + Improved Polish diacritics and \dj in most virtual fonts. + + Revised VFs and metrics of the smallcaps fonts hlhbc8t and + hlhrc8t to fix a minor bug regarding the size of the + hungarumlaut accent. + + Oldstyle figures from the Lucida Calligraphy-Italic fonts + are made available also for the italic shape of the Lucida + Bright family. + + Revised documentation; in particular, the API provided by + the fd files to scale the fonts (\DeclareLucidaFontShape) + is now documented. + +2003-03-12 + + All typewriter fonts have vertically centered asterisks + now; all textcompanion fonts have vertically centered + \textaskeriskcentered symbols. + + The Omega symbol \textohm is made available in the + textcompanion fonts. + + The Polish diacritics have been somewhat improved, but + are not really satisfactory yet. + + Font mapping files have been moved out of the zip archive, + with respect to their changed location in the future TDS + 1.0. + + Some empty and unneeded directories have been removed + from the archive lucida.zip. + +2003-01-13 + There are thorough changes over the previous CTAN distrib: + + The new file set includes also the metrics for LY1 encoded + text fonts. These are the original files from Y&Y, only + renamed to Karl-Berry-style names. The related .fd files + were changed appropriately. Thus, LY1 can be used easily + beside T1/TS1. + + The LY1 and TS1 encodings make the Euro symbol (\texteuro) + accessible, which is present in the current release of the + Lucida fonts. + + With T1/TS1 encoding, the same set of font series and + shapes is supported as with Y&Y's original distribution. + The previous CTAN distribution, in contrast, included a + number of additional series/shapes, which were based on + artificially compressed, expanded or slanted fonts and + faked smallcaps. Notice that these were never documented! + + The obsolete OT1 font encoding is no longer supported with + the Lucida fonts. + + T1 encoded smallcaps fonts (hlhrc8t, hlhbc8t) include + normal digits now, as expected. Oldstyle digits are still + available in the TS1 encoding. |
