These changes will ultimately be read - back into the ibycus4 METAFONT source. - -2. fibr.tfm (blended from the TFM file produced by afm2tfm and - the ligature and kerning from fibr84.tfm. The use of the Type1 font - is specified by calling on fibr, rather than fibr84. - Obliqued versions are invoked with fibo.tfm (derived in the same way). - Bold versions of the font are still exclusively METAFONT. - They will continue to be invoked as fibb84[89]? - until I make up Type1 versions of them (if I ever do). - -3. fibr.vf (fibo.vf), which serves to provide a reference into a dvips map - file. The raw TFM for this VF file is fibr84.tfm (fibo84.tfm), which - has the interesting effect of making METAFONT generated PK files a - fail-safe alternative in sizes above 10pt if the dvips map lookup fails. - The checksums for fibr.tfm fibr84.tfm and fibr.vf are identical. - likewise for fibo.tfm fibo84.tfm and fibo.vf. - This is arbitrary, since fibr.vf has integer escapement values - rounded from the METAFONT values in the tfm files. - -4. config.iby and iby.map. The iby.map file shows how to associate - fibr84 and fibo84 with IbycusHTG-Regular. - fibr84 IbycusHTG-Regular <IbycusHTG-Regular.pfa - fibo84 IbycusHTG-Regular ".167 SlantFont" <IbycusHTG-Regular.pfa - or - fibr84 IbycusHTG-Regular <fibr.pfa - fibo84 IbycusHTG-Regular ".167 SlantFont" <fibr.pfa - If you still use the large explicit psfonts.map from the web2c - days, these lines can be copied into psfonts.map for general use. - A better idea is to put them into a file iby.map and add the - line p +iby.map to the sort of psfonts.map that is provided - with teTeX. - -5. IbycusHTG-Regular.afm and IbycusHTG.enc. These are provided for - information only. The AFM file contains only the character info - and the pair-kerning data. There is no point in going further - since the Adobe convention for AFM is incapable of specifying the - ligature sequences needed for ibycus4. The encoding file could - supply both ligatures and pair-kerns, but to what purpose? - -6. Various TeX input files rewritten to use the fibr invocation in - place of the fibr84 invocation. (This is the only change that - users will need to make, other than installing the above files in - the TEXMF directory tree). - -IbycusHTG-Regular is licensed without charge for use in the creation of -documents in all media, in accordance with the included copyright -notice. Users are welcome and indeed encouraged to adapt the font -to other typesetting systems. Note that iota subscript is applied to -the affected vowel as a following zero-width character kerned -drastically to the left. (Other well-known Polytonic Greek fonts -do the same thing. This trick saves many, many glyph spaces for more -constructive use.) - - mackay@cs.washington.edu Pierre A.
