Zhytnikov (vvzhy@phy.ncu.edu.tw) +on behalf of Alexander Harin (harin@lourie.und.ac.za). + +I added this INSTALL file to make instllation easier for users +that don't have a lot of TeX/LaTeX experience. +For users of EmTeX I supply cyrillic font library cmcyr_lj.fli, +so they do not have to learn how to use MetaFont/MfJob. + + +What is required +================ + +1. TeX ver 3.0 or later, version 3.1415 is preferable. + +MSDOS-OS/2 users: +You can get EmTeX 3.0 from CTAN directory /systems/msdos/emtex +(CTAN is Common TeX Archive Network, its site in the US +is ftp.shsu.edu:/tex-archive). +You also can get beta release of EmTeX 3.1415 +from /systems/msdos/emtex/betatest. + +UNIX users: +You probably already have newest version of TeX on your system. +Otherwise take a look at /systems/unix of CTAN. + + +2. Cyrillic style files for LaTeX2e or LaTeX 2.09. +You can get LaTeX2e files from /macros/latex/contrib/other/cmcyralt +or from ftp.cs.umd.edu:/pub/cyrillic/cmcyralt/cmcyr2e.zip. +LaTeX 2.09 (this version of LaTeX is now considered obsolete) +files can be obtained from /macros/latex209/contrib. + + +How to unpack and install +========================= + +1. Create directory cmcyrfnt and unpack the zip file into it +with preserving directory structure. + +For example, in MSDOS: + +pkunzip -d cmcyrfnt.zip + +1a. MSDOS users only: In this distribution end-of-line +character for text files is LF. +To convert text files to MSDOS convention (end-of-line is +CR-LF), type "convers.exe +r *.*" in directory cmcyrfnt +and all its text subdirectories (that is, all subdirectories +except VF and TFM). Convers.exe is supplied together with +this distribution. + + +2. Add TFM subdirectory to TFM (font metrics) path variable. + +For example, in MSDOS: + +set tfm=d:\emtex\tfm;d:\cmcyrfnt\tfm + +Now if LaTeX cmcyr package is installed, you can use LaTeX +to produce *.dvi files. However, to print or view *.dvi files, +you have to do more. + + +3. Add VF subdirectory to virtual font path. + +For example, if you are using dviscr to view *.dvi files +and dvihplj to print them, you have to change the /pv line +in file lj.cnf to: + +/pv=d:\cmcyrfnt\vf + + +4. Getting cyrillic font bodies. + +a) EmTeX users who need 300 DPI fonts for HP LaserJet and screen viewer: +Download file cmcyr_lj.fli to the same directory cmcyrfnt. + +Add the cmcyrfnt directory to the font library path. +Change the /pl line in lj.cnf to something like: + +/pl=%DVIDRVFONTS%;d:\cmcyrfnt;lj_0;lj_h;lj_1;lj_2;lj_3;lj_4;lj_5a;lj_5b;cmcyr_lj + +Examples of autoexec.bat and emtex\lj.cnf files are given +in directory cmcyrfnt\setup. + + +b) All others. + +You will need to generate font bodies (*.pk) from +the font sources (*.mf) using MetaFont and MfWare programs +(they are part of any decent TeX package (for example, of EmTeX)). + +File cmcyr.mfj is a batch file for MfJob that performs +generation of cmcyralt fonts in PK format. +Since there is a bug in definition of cyrillic letter d +in fonts czssq8 and czssqi8, I included file mfjob.log +that lists these bugs. + +After generating fonts you can create a font library (*.fli) +from them using the file setup/cmcyr.bat (EmTeX only). |
