===========================================================
         Bitstream News Gothic font pack for LaTeX
============================================================
                                                  2004-06-09
                                               WalterSchmidt
                                      w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net
                                               

This bundle includes all files required to use the Bitstream
News Gothic Type1 fonts with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC
platform.  It does _not_ include the actual Type1 fonts,
which are to be purchased from Bitstream.

The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant
TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free.  Yet they
may not exactly fit your particular TeX system; please,
consult its documentation, too!  The directory name "texmf"
refers to the root directory of a TDS directory tree.  In
case your TeX systems has more than one directory tree, its
documentation should tell you where to install new files.



What's new?
----------
2004-06-09
  The Euro symbol is supported, if you have got a 
  sufficiently recent version of the fonts.
  Minor improvements to the kerning tables.
  Location of the font mapping files changed wrt/ TDS 1.0.
  English documentation.
  
2002-06-02:
  Added kerning data for umlauts.
  OT1-Encoding is no longer supported.
  TDS-compliant archive structure



Updating from a previous release
--------------------------------
In case you install this collection over any previous 
release, the file

   texmf/vtex/config/bng.ali
   
is to be deleted manually

In case you install this collection over the 2000-12-04
release, the file

  texmf/doc/latex/bitstrea/newsgth.txt

and the directories

  texmf/tex/latex/bitstrea/newsgth
  texmf/fonts/tfm/bitstrea/newsgth
  texmf/fonts/vf/bitstrea/newsgth

are to be deleted manually.



Installing the Type1 font files
-------------------------------
|
| You need not repeat this step, when updating from a
| previous release of this collection, unless you 
| actually intend to install new version of the fonts.
|

The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Bitstream, are to be renamed
for use with TeX.  The original file named may differ, 
depending on whether you have obtained the fonts from 
Bitstream or Corel:

Bitstream:     Corel:           TeX:
0047A___.PFB   newsgotn.pfb     bngr8a.pfb
0048A___.PFB   newsgoti.pfb     bngri8a.pfb
0049A___.PFB   newsgotb.pfb     bngb8a.pfb
0050A___.PFB   newgotbi.pfb     bngbi8a.pfb
0949A___.PFB   newsgotd.pfb     bngd8a.pfb
0950A___.PFB   newsgtdi.pfb     bngdi8a.pfb

Copy them to the directory

  texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/newsgth

of your TeX system.  Rename the .afm files accordingly 
and copy them to:

  texmf/fonts/afm/bitstrea/newsgth

Most likely, you will have to create these directories
first.



Installing the TeX support files from the archive bng.zip
---------------------------------------------------------
Unpack the ZIP archive bng.zip in the directory "texmf" of
your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the
appropriate directories.



Updating the filename database
------------------------------
Many TeX systems require manual updating of a "filename
database" after adding of new files.  Please, consult the
documentation of your TeX system!



Configuring your TeX system
---------------------------
|
| You need not repeat this step, when updating from a
| previous release of this collection!
|

The present distribution comprises several font map files
for the Bitstream News Gothic fonts.  You need to configure
your TeX system so that these files are actually used.  The
required steps depend on the particular TeX system.
Particular sets of instructions are provided below for the
following systems:

  * teTeX
  * VTeX/Free

With other TeX systems such as MikTeX, consult the related
documentation how to install an additional font map file.
The name of the map file to be used for News Gothic is
"bng.map".  Two copies of this file reside in the
directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map /dvips.

Configuring teTeX
-----------------
Additional font map files (here bng.map) are installed using
the shell script "updmap".  With teTeX-2.0 and later (or
teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) execute the following
commands:

  texhash
  updmap --enable Map bng.map

With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation
how to install an additional map file.

Configuring VTeX/Free
---------------------
Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file
bng.ali.  This is usually accomplished by putting an
appropriate record ito each of the configuration files

  texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm
and
  texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm

The name "bng.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of
the above-mentioned files:

TYPE1 {
  ...
  bng.ali
  }
  
In case you are still using VTeX/Free 7.x (as opposed to 
v8.x), copy the file bng.ali from texmf/fonts/map/vtex to 
the directory texmf/vtex/config.



Using the Bitstream News Gothic fonts with LaTeX
------------------------------------------------
See the file newsgth.txt, which resides in the directory
texmf/doc/fonts/bitstrea.



Legal notice
------------
The bundle "Bitstream News Gothic for LaTeX "is made up from
the files bng.txt and bng.zip.
