The fonts are intended +for use with Computer Modern (cmr), Computer Modern Sans (cmss), and +Palatino/Palladio (pplr), respectively. + +Installation +------------ + +Unzip the archive tex-archive/install/fonts/figbas.tds.zip at the root +of a texmf hierarchy, preferably a "local" tree, such as $HOME/texmf +or /usr/local/share/texmf on a Un*x-like system or C:\localtexmf on a +Windows system; the documentation of your TeX distribution should tell +you where to install new files. + +Updating the Filename Database +------------------------------ + +Most TeX systems improve the efficiency of file access by maintaining +a data base of file names. The documentation of your TeX distribution +should tell you what you have to do to update this data base after +adding new files. For example, on a teTeX-based system, execute + + texhash + +On a MikTeX system, execute + + initexmf -u + +or click on Options and then the Refresh button for the file-name +database. + + +Configuring the Font Maps +------------------------- + +TeX systems maintain map files which associate font files with font +names. The file figbas.map in the archive defines the appropriate +associations for these fonts. The documentation of your TeX +distribution should tell you what you have to do to add the +associations in figbas.map to the global map file or files. For +example, on a TeXLive system, execute + + updmap --enable Map=figbas.map + +or add + + Map figbas.map + +to updmap.cfg and run updmap (as a user) or updmap-sys (as root). + +On a MikTeX system: + + + Run + +initexmf --edit-config-file updmap + +and add the following at the end of the file: + +Map figbas.map + + + Save the file and exit Notepad. + + + Refresh the file-name database and run + +initexmf --mkmaps + + +Using the Fonts +--------------- + +The fonts might be used in a TeX-based format such as MusixTeX as +follows: + + % Uncomment one of the following three lines: + % \font\figfont=cmr7 \font\figplus=cmrj at 7pt + % \font\figfont=cmss8 at 7pt \font\figplus=cmssj at 7pt + \font\figfont=pplr8r at 7pt \font\figplus=plrj at 7pt + + \def\twopl{\figplus 2} + \def\fourpl{\figplus 4} + \def\fivepl{\figplus 5} + \def\sixpl{\figplus 6} + \def\ninepl{\figplus 9} + + +Licensing +--------- + +plrj.pfb is based on glyphs from the Palladio L Roman font by + + URW++ Design and Development Incorporated + Poppenbuetteler Bogen 29A + D-22399 Hamburg + Germany + tel. +49 (40) 60 60 50 + fax +49 (40) 60 60 51 11 + http://www.urwpp.de + +which is licensed under the GPL.
