It also defines +the macros |\MF| and |\MP| for the METAFONT and METAPOST logos in +terms of these font commands, which ensures that the logos will +follow font changes just as the |\TeX| logo does and always did. + +To use this package, you'll need the complete and up-to-date set +of `logo' fonts, located in the directory CTAN:fonts/mflogo. + +To facilitate the installation, the directory containing the +`logo' fonts is made available through a symbolic link `fonts', +so that the contents of CTAN:fonts/mflogo is automatically +included as a subdirectory if you download this directory as a +`.zip' or `.tar.gz' archive. + + +HISTORY: + +The `mflogo' package was developed in early 1994 when LaTeX2e was +still in a beta-test phase. The first public release of `mflogo' +(v1.2 in May 1994) predated the release of the first production +version of LaTeX as of 1994/06/01. + +The second release of `mflogo' (v1.5 in September 1995) cleaned up +some internals and fixed the space factor after the logos, just as +it is done for the |\TeX| and |\LaTeX| logos in the LaTeX kernel. + +The present release of `mflogo' (v2.0 in March 1999) clarifies the +distribution conditions, adopting the LaTeX Project Public License. + + +OVERVIEW: + +The `mflogo' distribution consists of the following files: + + README - this file, i.e. the file you are reading + Makefile - Makefile to install the LaTeX package + mflogo.ins - LaTeX installation script + mflogo.dtx - documented source of the LaTeX package + +Subdirectory `fonts': + + README - some notes on the `logo' fonts + Makefile - Makefile to install the `logo' fonts + +Subdirectory `fonts/source': + + logo.mf - Metafont program to draw the logo charaters + logo*.mf - Metafont drivers for various sizes and shapes + +Subdirectory `fonts/tfm': + + logo*.tfm - TeX font metrics for various sizes and shapes + + +INSTALLATION: + +(1) Before installing the `mflogo' LaTeX package and processing +the documentation, you should first make sure that you have a +complete and up-to-date set of the `logo' fonts. If you're +lucky, the `logo' fonts may have already been provided as part +of your TeX distribution. Otherwise, proceed by changing to the +`fonts' subdirectory and installing the fonts from there. + +if you have a TDS-compatible TeX installation, you may try to use +the enclosed `Makefile' in the `fonts' subdirectory by calling + + cd fonts ; make install TEXMF=/wherever/texmf + +For manual installation of the font sources and font metric files, +please consult the file `fonts/README'. + +(2) After the required fonts have been installed, return to this +distribution directory. To unpack the `mflogo' LaTeX package +and to typeset the documentation, proceed as follows: + +If you have a TDS-compatible TeX installation, you may try to use +the enclosed `Makefile' by calling + + make TEXMF=/wherever/texmf + make install TEXMF=/wherever/texmf + +For manual installation, run + + latex mflogo.ins + +to unpack the package file `mflogo.sty' and the corresponding +font definition files `ulogo.fd' from the source file `mflogo.dtx'. + +To typeset the documentation, run + + (pdf)latex mflogo.dtx + +to generate `mflogo.dvi' and/or `mflogo.pdf'. This requires +the `mflogo' and, of course, the `logo' fonts. + +Finally, to install the `mflogo' package, copy the files +`mflogo.sty' and `ulogo.fd' to TEXMF/tex/latex/mflogo/ or +wherever else your installation keeps LaTeX `.sty' files. + + +TROUBLESHOOTING: + +The `mflogo' package boldly assumes that your TeX distribution +provides a complete and up-to-date version of the `logo' fonts, +including some non-standard variants and some extra characters +that were absent from earlier (pre-1993) versions. + +While it should no problem to regenerate PK-bitmap fonts from +the updated Metafont sources, if necessary, some problems may +arise when using PostScript Type 1 versions of the `logo' fonts. + +Unless you happen to have access to some commercial versions of +the up-to-date `logo' fonts in Type 1 format as sold by Y&Y Inc., +it is highly recommended to use the freely-distributable versions +by Taco Hoekwater, which are available from CTAN archives in: + + CTAN:fonts/cm/utilityfonts/logo/ps-type1/hoekwater/logo*.pfb + +It is no longer recommended to use the freely-distributable +versions of `logo' fonts provided by the American Mathematical +Society, which are available from CTAN archives in: + + CTAN:fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky/logo*.pfb + +Unfortunately, those fonts are out-of-date and do not provide a +complete set of sizes and shapes required by `mflogo' package. + + +Happy TeXing! -- cgit v1.2.3
