This bundle includes all required files for using the
Linotype Meridien 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 Linotype.

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 also its documentation as to installing additional
fonts and macros.  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.



Installing the Type1 font files
-------------------------------
The Type1 font files are to be renamed for use with TeX:

FontName:                 Linotype:     TeX:
MeridienLT-Roman          lte50477.pfb  lmdr8a.pfb    
MeridienLT-Italic         lte50478.pfb  lmdri8a.pfb   
MeridienLT-Medium         lte50479.pfb  lmdm8a.pfb    
MeridienLT-MediumItalic   lte50480.pfb  lmdmi8a.pfb   
MeridienLT-Bold           lte50481.pfb  lmdb8a.pfb    
MeridienLT-BoldItalic     lte50482.pfb  lmdbi8a.pfb   
          
The .pfb files are to be copied to the directory

  texmf/fonts/type1/linotype/meridien

of your TeX system.  The related .afm files should also be
renamed accordingly and installed into the directory

  texmf/fonts/afm/linotype/meridien

You may need to create these directories first.  



Installing the TeX support files from the archive lmd.zip
---------------------------------------------------------
Unpack the ZIP archive lmd.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 manually 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 Linotype Meridien 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 Meridian is
"lmd.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 lmd.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 lmd.map

With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation
about how to add new map files to the system.

Configuring VTeX/Free
---------------------
Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file
lmd.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 "lmd.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of
the above-mentioned files:

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



Using the Meridien fonts with LaTeX
-----------------------------------
See the file meridien.txt, which should reside in the directory
texmf/doc/fonts/linotype.



Legal notice
------------
The Linotype Meridien font pack is made up from the files
lmd.txt and lmd.zip.
