This included + +- pk300 fonts (tib and tibsp) +- a prefilter program tfilt in c (source) + +You write a text file name.tib, then run tfilt on it to get name.tex, +which you then tex and etc normally. + +I made substantial modifications to the filter program to fix bugs and +add features (e.g. various sanscrit letters, different sized fonts). I +also took the pk files, used GNU font utilities to create .mf files so +that the fonts can be made at any desired scale. I also cleaned up the +fonts a bit. I added a unix script ttex, which automates the +filtering/texing/dvi2ps process. I greatly expanded the tibdef.tex +include file. The file boxes.tex can also be used to get various +borders. + +I've had no success in contacting anyone who made the original +program/fonts. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------- + +To install, + +- unpack the files in their appropriate directories, + +- type make in the src directory (modifying the makefile if you want) + +- build the pk files you want from .mf files + (as per usual for TeX and the mf program [add mf instructions here]) + +- modify ttex for the location of the tfilt program. + +Then try out the examples mani.tib etc. + +Good luck! + +Sam Sirlin +June 1996 + +-------------------------------------------------------------------- +-------------------------------------------------------------------- +From the original latextibetan package README: + +This package was obtained from Ronald Schwartz at the Memorial +University of Newfoundland.
