Targets are: + +make tex + runs the master source file fontplcme.tex through TeX and + creates the .vpl and .fd files + +make metrics + creates the .vf and .tfm files + +make installfonts + copies all the .vf, .tfm and .fd files to the right + directories + +make all + makes all above targets + +make clean, make realclean + cleans up + +------------------------------------------------------------ + Changes +------------------------------------------------------------ + +Version 2.0a as of 2000-05-02 + +* This is part of PSNFSS 8.1 now. +* The distribition includes patched afm's, + with the 1-1 kerns removed. +* \Re, \Im taken from Euler instead of CM Symbols. +* \infty taken from euex10 instead of CM; + as a result, boldface \infty is missing now. +* Metrics for eurm10 and eurb10 are now taken from the + tfm's, as oposed to afm's, so as to avoid rounding errors. + +Version 1.1 (1999-04-20) + +* (changes affected the style file only) + +Version 1.0 (1999-04-05) + +* Comma and period for math are now taken from Palatino, as + opposed to CM Math Italic. +* Small adjustments to the spacing of a few characters. + +Version 0.97 (1999-01-07) + +* the first public release + +------------------------------------------------------------ + Credits +------------------------------------------------------------ + +The mathpple fonts are based on fontinst scripts written by +Aloysius Helminck, which were distributed in conjunction +with fontinst v1.335, but are no longer available from the +CTAN. The main changes with regard to Helminck's model are: + +* italic Greek letters from the Euler fonts; +* \mathcal from CM instead of Zapf Chancery; +* positioning of math accents substantially improved; +* improved spacing; +* cmex9 isn't used any more, because there is no Type1 + version of this typeface in the AMS distribution. + +Special thanks also to Daniel Schlieper, who proposed the +project, wrote the very first version of the style file +mathpple.sty, contributed many good ideas and helped me with +testing. + +-- finis |
