The purpose of this file is to help in installation of "Gurmukhi for TeX"
software package on DOS. In addition to this file Readme and manual.gm,
are also provided which provide information about how and why to use this
package.
Lets assume that you have installed TeX and TeX can call METAFONT for
font creation. I do not have TeX, METAFONT, and C-compiler on my machine
in DOS environment, so was not able to install or test this software.
Please let me know if you are successfully able to setup this package.
Following help is extracted from "Devanagari for TeX" readme file, and
and is modified a little for "Gurmukhi for Tex" in hope that this will
be helpful in installation.
In order to install the software you have to put the files in the right
directories and rename them (if necessary).
* GMMACS.TEX, BANI.GM, EG.GM, MANUAL.GM must be in the directory
where TeX expects it's input. This is something like C:\TEX\INPUTS on
MS-DOS systems.
* Compile GURMUKHI.C file to create an executable of preprocessor, with
a name may be GURMUKHI.EXE. Move it in a directory specified in the
PATH environment-variable. Preferably it should be put in the directory
where other executable files are kept, often called BIN.
* If you do have a 300dpi black-writing laser-printer then you can use
the included PK and TFM files. The TFM-files have to be put in the
directory where TeX keeps its TFM-files, mostly called C:\TEX\FONTS
or something like that. The organization of the fontfiles (PK-files)
varies from installation to installation. Sometimes all the fontfiles
are put together in one large directory and the different magnifications
of a font are distinguished by their filename extension, as is the case
with the fonts in this package.
Instead of in a directory the font files are sometimes put in a library.
This is the way it is done in emTeX. And sometimes there are different
directories for each magnification. These directories have 'names' like
300, 329 etc. The fontfiles within these directories have no extensions
or just the extension 'PK'.
According to which fontfile-organization is used on your system, you
have to copy and rename the fontfiles in the PK300 directory in this
package.
* If your printer is not a 300dpi black-writing laser-printer, or if you
want to change the appearance of the font or of some characters in it
then you have to run METAFONT and use the .MF files as input. There
are METAFONT source files for 3 different sizes: 8,9 and 10 point:
GRMK8.MF, GRMK9.MF and GRMK10.MF.
All of these three source-files make use of DEFS.MF and GMCHARS.MF.
The following is taken from: FAQ about TeX
METAFONT allows you to create your own fonts. METAFONT, unlike TeX,
requires some customization. Each output device for which you will be
generating fonts needs a mode associated with it. Modes are defined
using the mode_def convention described on page 94 of _The METAFONTbook_.
The person who installed METAFONT on your system should know which
modes are defined.
The usual way to create a font with plain METAFONT is to start
it with the line
\mode=<mode name>; mag=<magnification>; input <font file name>
in response to the * prompt or on the METAFONT command line. If
<mode name> is unknown or omitted, then the mode defaults to proof
mode. If this has happened METAFONT will produce an output file
called <font file name>.2602gf. The <magnification> is a floating
point number or magstep (magsteps are defined in _The METAFONTbook_
and _The TeXbook_). If mag=<magnification> is omitted, then the
default is 1. For example, to generate dvng10 at 12pt for an epson
printer you would type
mf \mode=epson; mag=1.2; input dvng10
If you need a special mode that isn't defined for your METAFONT,
you can put its commands in a file (e.g., ln03.mf) and invoke
it on the fly with the \smode command. For example, to create
dvng10.300gf for an LN03 printer, using the file
% This is ln03.mf as of 2/27/90
% mode_def courtesy of John Sauter
proofing:=0;
fontmaking:=1;
tracingtitles:=0;
pixels_per_inch:=300;
blacker:=0.65;
fillin:=-0.1;
o_correction:=.5;
(note the absence of the mode_def and enddef commands), we would type
mf \smode="ln03"; input dvng10
* After this setup you are ready to use this package. You can use
example file bani.gm and eg.gm to see if everything is alright. A
typical set of commands can be given as follows. This information
is in greater detail in manual.ps
gurmukhi bani
tex bani
You can send dvi file generated here to your printer.
