<h1>VnTeX</h1>

<h2>Description</h2>
VnTeX is a package which supports typesetting Vietnamese.  It provides
macro packages for LaTeX and plain TeX as well as fonts.
<p>
The primary site of VnTeX is

<ul>
<li><a href="http://vntex.sf.net"><tt>http://vntex.sf.net</tt></a>.</li>
</ul>

There are also some fonts which cannot be freely distributed.
Download them
from <a
href="http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex"><tt>http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex</tt></a>.
<p>
<a href="http://tug.org/texlive">TeXLive</a>
and <a href="http://tug.org/mactex">MacTeX</a> users can use the
program <a href="http://tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts"><tt>getnonfreefonts</tt></a>
in order to download and install them.


<h2>Author</h2>

The author of VnTeX is <a href="mailto:HanTheThanh@gmx.net">Hàn Thế Thành</a>.


<h2>Contributors</h2>

LaTeX support (input encoding files, font encoding file, babel support
and vietnam.sty) is provided by Werner Lemberg.

<a href="http://tug.org/tex4ht/">TeX4ht</a>
support was provided by Hàn Thế Thành and Eitan
Gurari. The <a href="http://tug.org/tex4ht/">TeX4ht</a> fonts are
now part of
the <a href="http://tug.org/tex4ht/">TeX4ht</a>
distribution.

<a href="http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/plain/plnfss">plnfss</a>
was removed from VnTeX because it supports many other languages as
well.

<h2>When do I have to upgrade?</h2>

You should upgrade if you have a VnTeX version &lt; 3.0.
<p>  

The version number of the release you actually have installed appears
in the first line of the file<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>&lt;texmf*&gt;/doc/generic/vntex/INSTALL</code>.<br>
The version number of <em>this</em> release is 3.2.1.
<p>
The latest stable release can be downloaded from 
<a href="http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex"><tt>http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex</tt></a>. 
<p>     
Beta releases can be downloaded from
<a href="http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex-beta"><tt>http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex-beta</tt></a>
if available.
<p>
Bugfixes can be found
at <a href="http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex-update"><tt>http://vntex.sf.net/download/vntex-update</tt></a>.
Read the instructions on this page to find out whether you have to
install it.

<h2>Installation</h2> 

<b> If you have a modern TeX distribution
like <a href="http://tug.org/texlive">TeX
Live</a>, <a href="http://tug.org/mactex">MacTeX</a>,
or <a href="http://miktex.org">MikTeX</a>, you don't have to install
VnTeX manually.</b>  Please use the package manager of your TeX
distibution in order to keep VnTeX up-to-date.
<p>
You only have to install VnTeX manually if you can't install a recent
TeX distribution on your machine.  You can skip the rest of this
paragraph otherwise.
<p>
It is recommended to create an own directory tree for vntex so that
you can remove it easily when you update your TeX system.
This directory tree should be the first item of TeX's search path,
otherwise you have to remove old versions of VnTeX or vncmr completely.
<p>
On UNIX systems this is something like <tt>/usr/local/share/texmf-vntex</tt>
for a system-wide installation or <tt>$HOME/texmf-vntex</tt> if you do not have
access to this directory.  On Windows <tt>c:\texmf-vntex</tt> is a good place.
<p>
Unpack <tt>vntex-3.2.1.zip</tt> and <tt>vntex-nonfree-3.2.1.zip</tt> in this
directory.
<p>
Read <tt>doc/generic/vntex/INSTALL</tt> for further instructions.
