They are required by the LaTeX macro package mathpazo.sty, now +part of the PSNFSS bundle. The mathpazo.sty package defines the +Palatino family as the default roman font and uses the virtual +mathpazo fonts, built around the Pazo Math family, for typesetting +math in a style that suits Palatino. + +The Pazo Math family is made up of five fonts provided in Type1 format +(PazoMath, PazoMath-Italic, PazoMath-Bold, PazoMath-BoldItalic, and +PazoMathBlackboardBold). These contain, in designs that suit +Palatino, glyphs that are usually not available in Palatino and for +which Computer Modern looks odd when combined with Palatino. These +glyphs include the uppercase Greek alphabet in upright and slanted +shapes in regular and bold weights, the lowercase Greek alphabet in +slanted shape in regular and bold weights, several math glyphs +(partialdiff, summation, product, coproduct, emptyset, infinity, and +proportional) in regular and bold weights, other glyphs (Euro and +dotlessj) in upright and slanted shapes in regular and bold weights, +and the complete uppercase latin alphabet plus number one in +blackboard bold. + +The current distribution comprises the printer font binary (pfb) files +with the PostScript outlines, the Adobe font metrics (afm) files, and +the font information (inf) files for the Pazo Math family. + +The TeX font metrics (tfm) files, the LaTeX macro package +mathpazo.sty, and a set of virtual math fonts that combine glyphs from +Pazo Math, Computer Modern, and Palatino to form complete math fonts +for use with TeX/LaTeX are part of the PSNFSS bundle version 9. + +For those wishing to rebuild or modify the virtual fonts, the fontinst +sources of the mathpazo virtual fonts are still available with this +distribution. + + +Installation and usage +====================== + +Please see the documentation included with the PSNFSS bundle for +installation and usage intructions. The following notes pertain files +not required by PSNFSS. + +The directory inf/ contains font information files for the Pazo +Math family. You need these files only in case you want to +install the Pazo Math fonts in Adobe Type Manager for use with +other applications (ATM will then combine afm and inf files into +pfm files). + +The directory fontinst/ contains the fontinst sources of the virtual +mathpazo fonts. You need these files only in case you want to rebuild +or modify the fonts. If you want to rebuild the fonts, you will also +need the Adobe font metrics for the Palatino fonts (you can download +these files from +ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/001-050/001/ and +then rename them with the Karl Berry names: rename pob_____.afm to +pplb8a.afm, pobi____.afm to pplbi8a.afm, poi_____.afm to pplri8a.afm, +por_____.afm to pplr8a.afm). The fontinst scripts require fontinst +version 1.914 because they rely on features available only starting +from that version. + + +Acknowledgements +================ + +The fontinst scripts for the mathpazo fonts are based on scripts by +Walter Schmidt for the mathpple fonts. Those in turn are based on +fontinst scripts written by Aloysius Helminck and distributed in +conjunction with fontinst v1.335. The package mathpazo.sty also +builds on Walter Schmidt's mathpple.sty and has many similarities with +it. Walter has subsequently improved mathpazo.sty and included it in +the PSNFSS bundle. I am grateful to him for writing mathpple.sty and +for making the fontinst sources available, as well as for his many +improvements to the mathpazo.sty package. Alan Hoenig and Martin +Osborne kindly tested an early version of the fonts. Martin also +provided many helpful comments on the design of several glyphs. George +White suggested ending the encoding vector by `readonly def' instead +of `def' to avoid an error with versions of pdftex prior to 0.14g. +Franz Achermann reported a bad /BBox error in Acrobat with some pdf +files created with pdftex, which has now been resolved. Pablo +Rodríguez pointed out the unusual shape of \varigma in the first +version. Marco Kuhlmann pointed out a couple of inconsistencies in +the positioning of the double strokes in Pazo Math Blackboard Bold. +The font outlines for the Pazo Math family were designed and +hinted using FontLab (http://www.fontlab.com). Of course, NONE of the +glyphs in the Pazo Math fonts were derived from Adobe's or Linotype's +Palatino or from any other commercial font. To maintain a family +look, some glyphs (particularly those similar to standard text glyphs, +such as the blackboard bold uppercase letters or the dotless j) were +derived from a version of URWPalladioL distributed under the GNU +General Public License. All trademarks mentioned are the property of +their respective owners. + + +Changes to the Type 1 fonts +=========================== + +Version 1.003 +------------- + +* Changed the positioning of the double stroke in X and Z in Pazo Math + Blackboard Bold (suggested by Marco Kuhlmann). + +Version 1.002 +------------- + +* Added all the remaining uppercase latin letters and number one to + Pazo Math Blackboard Bold. + +* Re-designed \Phi to make it better proportioned (suggestion + passed on by Walter Schmidt). + +* Re-designed \varsigma to give it a more recognisable shape + (suggested by Pablo Rodríguez). Re-designed \xi and \zeta to match + the new \varsigma. + +Version 1.001 +------------- + +* Changed the end of the encoding vector in the .pfb files from + `def' to `readonly def' to avoid an error with versions of pdftex + prior to 0.14g (suggested by George White). + +* Eliminated the space after `/FontBBox {' in the .pfb files + to avoid a bad /BBox error in Acrobat with some pdf files created + with pdftex (problem reported by Franz Achermann). + +Version 1.000 +------------- + +* First public release. + + +License +======= + +The Pazo Math PostScript fonts (files fplmb.afm, fplmb.inf, fplmb.pfb, +fplmbb.afm, fplmbb.inf, fplmbb.pfb, fplmbi.afm, fplmbi.inf, +fplmbi.pfb, fplmr.afm, fplmr.inf, fplmr.pfb, fplmri.afm, fplmri.inf, +and fplmri.pfb) are distributed under the GNU General Public License +(http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.txt).
