1. DESCRIPTION

This package provides PostScript (type 1) fonts (PFB
format), and a dvips map file for MusiXTeX. The fonts are
based on the original METAFONT sources, such as musix20.mf,
which are distributed with MusiXTeX. The fonts provided here
may be used to produce printer-independent Postscript files.
PDF files generated using type 1 fonts are well displayed by
the Adobe Reader and other PDF viwers.

Most of the fonts were generated from the METAFONT sources
in TeX Live 2016 using mftrace 1.2.19.

Here is a list of the 79 generated fonts.

2. METHOD

The fonts were generated using mftrace 1.2.19 running on
CentOS 7. Resolution of some fonts was reduced using the
"--magnification" option because METAFONT supports only
limited values of real numbers.

3. INSTALLATION

  1) Make a directory such as $TEXMF/fonts/type1/musixtex,
     for PFBs. 
  2) Copy all PFBs to the above directory; they
     should be readable by all users. 
  3) Copy the map file
     ./dvips/musix.map to the appropriate directory, such as
     $TEXMF/dvips/config 
  4) Add a line

      p +musix.map

     to a suitable config.xxx file or, in a tetex-based
     distribution, add musix.map to the list of map files
     for Type1 fonts with Metafont equivalents in the
     updmap script, which should then be executed by doing
     "./updmap-sys" or "updmap-user". 
  5) Do mktexlsr or texhash
     or whatever is necessary on your system to re-generate the
     TeX filename database.

Note: dvipdfm does not need a map file for these fonts
because the names of the PFBs are identical to those of the
TFMs.

When these fonts are used, type 1 fonts should also be used
for non-music text; for example, type 1 versions of the
Computer Modern fonts are available.

4. TODO

  + Hinting 
  + Modifying METAFONT sources to get high resolution outputs

5. LICENSE

  The license of this package is LPPL.
