===========================================================
            "Adobe Syntax" font pack for LaTeX
============================================================
                                                  2004-08-08
                                               WalterSchmidt
                                      w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net
                                               

This bundle includes all files required to use Adobe'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 Adobe (package
#134).

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?
-----------
2004-08-08
   Fixed a potential bug in the macro package
   
2003-10-28
  name of the macro package changed from "syntax.sty" 
  to "asyntax.sty", thus avoiding a clash with the mdwtools
  collection;
  
2003-05-29
  minor enhancements to the kerning data

2003-05-07
  improved kerning;
  obsolete OT1 character set is no longer supported


Removing obsolete files
-----------------------
In case you have installed the 2003-05-07 release of this
bundle and are using VTeX/Free 8.x, please delete the file

  texmf/vtex/config/psx.ali.

now.



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

FontName:             Adobe:            TeX:          
Syntax-Bold           SXB_____.PFB  ->  psxb8a.pfb    
Syntax-Black          SXBL____.PFB  ->  psxc8a.pfb    
Syntax-Italic         SXI_____.PFB  ->  psxri8a.pfb   
Syntax-Roman          SXR_____.PFB  ->  psxr8a.pfb    
Syntax-UltraBlack     SXUBL___.PFB  ->  psxu8a.pfb    

Copy them to the directory

  texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/syntax

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

  texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/syntax

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



Installing the TeX support files from the archive psx.zip
---------------------------------------------------------
Unpack the ZIP archive psx.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 Adobe 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
  * 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 Syntax is
"psx.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 psx.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 psx.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
psx.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 "psx.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of
the above-mentioned files:

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



Using the Adobe Syntax fonts with LaTeX
----------------------------------------
See the file syntax.txt, which resides in the directory
texmf/doc/fonts/adobe.
