===========================================================
            Linotype Syntax font pack for LaTeX
============================================================

This bundle includes all files required to use Linotype's
"Syntax" fonts in Type1 (PostScript) format with LaTeX on
the Un*x or PC platform.  It does _not_ include the actual
font files, which are to be purchased from Linotype.

Notice that the present support files were created from
version 006.000 of the Syntax fonts, as provided in version
1.6 of the Linotype Library and on the Linotype Gold Edition
CD-ROM v1.6.  They cannot be used with earlier version of
the fonts.  They are NOT suitable for the Linotype Syntax
"Platinum" collection, either!

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.



NEWS

   Fixed a potential bug in the macro package



Installing the Type1 font files
-------------------------------
The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Linotype, are to be renamed
for use with TeX:

FontName:               Linotype:         TeX:          
SyntaxLT-Roman          lte50617.pfb  ->  lsxr8a.pfb    
SyntaxLT-Italic         lte50618.pfb  ->  lsxri8a.pfb   
SyntaxLT-Bold           lte50619.pfb  ->  lsxb8a.pfb    
SyntaxLT-Black          lte50620.pfb  ->  lsxc8a.pfb    
SyntaxLT-UltraBlack     lte50621.pfb  ->  lsxu8a.pfb    

Copy them to the directory

  texmf/fonts/type1/linotype/syntax

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

  texmf/fonts/afm/linotype/syntax

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



Installing the TeX support files from the archive lsx.zip
---------------------------------------------------------
Unpack the ZIP archive lsx.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 Linotype Syntax 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     (v2.0 and later)
  * VTeX/Free (v8.44 and later)

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 Syntax is
"lsx.map".  Two copies of this file reside in the
directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips.

Configuring teTeX
-----------------
Additional font map files 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 lsx.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
lsx.ali.  This is usually accomplished by putting a record
for lsx.ali into each of the configuration files

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

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

TYPE1 {
  ...
  lsx.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 Linotype Syntax fonts with LaTeX
----------------------------------------
See the file syntax.txt, which resides in the directory
texmf/doc/fonts/linotype.



Legal notice
------------
The bundle "Linotype Syntax for LaTeX "is made up from
the files lsx.txt and lsx.zip.
