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.

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. + +The contents of the archive file bera.zip are + + Copyright (c) 2004 Walter Schmidt + +The files may be distributed (either as a ZIP archive or +unpacked) and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX +Project Public License, either version 1.2 of this license +or (at your option) any later version.

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.
