+===========================================================
+ "Bera" font pack for LaTeX
+ as of 2004-09-30
+============================================================
+ Malte Rosenau
+ Walter Schmidt
+
+
+This collection comprises the "Bera" Type1 fonts and the
+files required to use them with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC
+platform.
+
+"Bera" is a set of three PostScript Type1 font families:
+Bera Serif (a slab-serif Roman), Bera Sans (a Frutiger
+descendant), and Bera Mono (monospaced/typewriter). The
+fonts were originally designed by Bitstream, Inc in TrueType
+format under the name "Bitstream Vera". These fonts are
+available from <http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/
+ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/>.
+
+Malte Rosenau converted the Vera fonts to the Postscript
+type1 format; the license required a different name ("Bera")
+to be assigend to the result. Ulrich Dirr (Art & Satz)
+reworked the kerning tables of the Bera Sans fonts.
+
+The file bera.pdf shows samples of the Bera fonts and lists
+all available families, series and shapes.
+
+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 TDS tree, its
+documentation should tell you where to install new files.
+
+
+
+History
+-------
+2004-09-30
+ bugs in the kerning tables of BeraSans fixed
+
+2004-09-07
+ substantially improved kerning data for Bera Sans
+ (special thanks to Ulrich Dirr!);
+ minor fixes to the kerning data of Bera Serif;
+ miinor changes to the substititions in the fd files;
+ minor changes to the documentation;
+ font sample;
+
+2004-01-31
+ preliminary release
+
+
+
+Installing the Type1 font files
+-------------------------------
+The Type1 font files
+
+ fveb8a.pfb
+ fver8a.pfb
+ fvmb8a.pfb
+ fvmbo8a.pfb
+ fvmr8a.pfb
+ fvmro8a.pfb
+ fvsb8a.pfb
+ fvsbo8a.pfb
+ fvsr8a.pfb
+ fvsro8a.pfb
+
+are to be copied to the directory
+
+ texmf/fonts/type1/public/bera
+
+of your TeX system, and the related .afm files should go
+into
+
+ texmf/fonts/afm/public/bera
+
+Most likely, you will have to create these directories
+first.
+
+
+
+Installing the TeX support files from the archive bera.zip
+----------------------------------------------------------
+Unpack the ZIP archive bera.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
+---------------------------
+The required actions depend on the particular TeX system.
+Particular sets of instructions are provided below for
+
+ * teTeX 2.0 and later,
+ * VTeX/Free 8.x and later.
+
+In case you have a different TeX system, consult its
+documentation how to make it use the additional font map
+file named "bera.map". Two copies of this file reside in
+the directories texmf/dvips/config/ and
+texmf/fonts/map/dvips.
+
+Configuring teTeX:
+Use the shell script "updmap" to add the font map file named
+"bera.map" to the configuration. See the documentation of
+your particular teTeX version how to use the script. With
+teTeX 2.0 and above, execute the following commands:
+
+ texhash
+ updmap --enable Map bera.map
+
+
+Configuring VTeX/Free:
+Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file
+bera.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a record
+for this file into each of the configuration files
+
+ texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm
+and
+ texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm
+
+"bera.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the
+above-mentioned files:
+
+ TYPE1 {
+ ...
+ bera.ali
+ }
+
+
+
+Using the Bera fonts with LaTeX
+-------------------------------
+See the file bera.txt, which resides in the directory
+texmf/doc/fonts/bera.
+
+
+
+Bugs and problems
+-----------------
+With older versions of the dvips program, font subsetting
+may fail with the Bera fonts. In this case, disable
+subsetting through the dvips option "-j0", or change the
+font map file bera.map accordingly.
+
+The Type1 fonts exhibit a font-specific encoding, rather
+than the usual "Adobe Standard". While this is irrelevant
+for TeX, it may lead to problems with applications from the
+non-TeX world. In case you encounter any such problem,
+please report to
+Malte Rosenau <malte.rosenau@theol.uni-goettingen.de>.
+
+Any bugs regarding the TeX metrics (including the kerning
+data), fd files and macros should be reported to
+WalterSchmidt <w.a.schmidt@gmx.net>.
+
+
+Legal notice
+------------
+The license terms for the Bera fonts are included in
+the file LICENSE.
+

+============================================================
+ Using the Bera fonts with LaTeX
+============================================================
+ 2004-09-07
+ Walter Schmidt
+ w.a.schmidt@gmx.net
+
+"Bera" is a set of three PostScript Type1 font families:
+Bera Serif (a slab-serif Roman), Bera Sans (a "Frutiger
+descendant") and Bera Mono (monospaced/typewriter).
+
+
+USING SINGLE FONT FAMILIES
+
+Several macro packages are provided to use these font
+families with LaTeX:
+
+package: effect:
+------------------------------------------------------------
+beraserif selects Bera Serif as the default roman family
+berasans selects Bera Sans as the default sansserif family
+beramono selects Bera Mono as the default typewriter family
+
+You need not necessarily use all three font families
+together (even though this is supported, see below).
+Bera Sans blends well with many roman typefaces, as long as
+their x-height is not too low. Bera Mono is a versatile
+"all-purpose" monospaced typeface, whose advantage over
+CM-Typewriter is the availability of a bold font series.
+
+Notice that the Bera fonts are supported with T1 (european)
+and TS1 (textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue
+the commands
+
+ \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
+ \usepackage{textcomp}
+
+in the document preamble. The obsolete OT1 encoding, which
+is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_ supported.
+
+The Bera fonts are much larger than many others, when used
+at the same nominal size. This can be fixed by loading the
+above package so with the option [scaled=...]. For
+instance,
+
+ \usepackage[scaled=0.95]{berasans}
+
+loads the Bera Sans fonts, scaled down to 95% of their
+"natural" size. Omitting the factor, i.e.,
+
+ \usepackage[scaled]{...}
+
+selects a default scaling of 90%, which makes the Bera fonts
+approximately match the size of the Computer Modern fonts.
+
+
+USING THE BERA FONT FAMILIES TOGETHER
+
+To make the use of the three Bera fonts families together
+most easy, a further macro package bera.sty is provided:
+
+ \usepackage{bera}
+
+effects all of the following:
+
+* T1 and textcompanion encoding is selected
+
+* Bera Roman, Sans and Mono at 90% are loaded as the three
+ main text font families (while the math fonts remain
+ unchanged!)
+
+* the line spacing is enlarged by 5%, i.e.,
+ \linespread{1.05}, with respect to the large x-height of
+ the Bera typefaces;
+
+* the definitions of the TeX and LaTeX logos \TeX and \LaTeX
+ are changed so as to suit BeraSerif.
+
+Even though there are no math fonts that were designed
+particularly to go with Bera Serif, math typesetting is
+possible. It is recommended to use the the math fonts of
+Y&Y's Lucida font set <http://www.yandy.com/lucida.htm>,
+which blend surprisingly well with Bera. Notice that the
+Lucida math fonts are to be scaled correspondingly:
+
+ \usepackage{bera}
+ \usepackage[expert]{lucbmath}
+ \def\DeclareLucidaFontShape#1#2#3#4#5#6{%
+ \DeclareFontShape{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{<->s*[0.90]#5}{#6}}
+
+
+
+
+NFSS CLASSIFICATION
+
+encodings family series shape(s) Postscript font name
+---------------------------------------------------------
+T1, TS1 fve m n, sl(*) BeraSerif-Roman
+T1, TS1 fve b n, sl(*) BeraSerif-Bold
+T1, TS1 fvs m n, sl BeraSans-Roman

+T1, TS1 fvm m n, sl BeraSansMono-Roman
+ BeraSansMono-Oblique
+T1, TS1 fvm b n, sl BeraSansMono-Bold
+ BeraSansMono-BoldOb
+
+(*) The slanted series of the Bera Serif fonts are
+artificially slanted; there are no correspoding real fonts.
+
+In the TS1 encoding only the characters of the ISO-Adobe
+character set plus the Euro (\texteuro) and the Omega
+(\textomega) are available.
