Some of these symbols are +guaranteed to be available in every TeX distribution. Others require +font files that come with some, but not all, TeX distributions. The +rest require font files that must be downloaded explicitly from CTAN +(http://www.ctan.org) and installed. The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbols +List currently showcases symbols from 112 separate typefaces. + +The same directory that contains this README file should also contain +SYMLIST (an ASCII list of symbols that appear in the symbols list) and +prebuilt versions of the symbol list for both A4 and U.S. Letter sized +paper. If you'd like to build symbols.tex yourself, the steps are as +follows: + + pdflatex symbols + pdflatex symbols + makeindex -s gind.ist symbols + pdflatex symbols + pdflatex symbols + +(The repeated runs are for the longtable and makeidx packages to +stabilize.) symbols.tex tries to be smart about fonts; it omits +tables of symbols that require (seemingly) unavailable fonts. The +"Document Characteristics" table at the end of the document lists the +packages that were unavailable during the build. + +The prebuilt versions of the symbol list use primarily Type 1 fonts. +Type 1 fonts are scalable and should look good at any resolution and +on any output device. However, some of the fonts used by symbols.tex +are available only in a METAFONT-generated bitmap format. The +prebuilt symbol lists utilize 1200 DPI versions of all of the +bitmapped fonts as 1200 DPI is a reasonably high printer resolution. +Unfortunately, older (pre-6.0) versions of Adobe Acrobat render +bitmapped fonts positively dreadfully on screen. Nevertheless, all +versions of Acrobat manage to *print* bitmapped fonts with no trouble. + +The bitmapped fonts used to prepare the PDF versions of the symbol +list are the following: + + ar10.mf ar9.mf ark10.mf + ark10.mf arrow.mf arrow.mf + bbding10.mf bbding10.mf bbm10.mf + bbm9.mf bbmss10.mf bbmtt10.mf + bbold10.mf bbold9.mf callig15.mf + cmph10.mf cmphi10.mf dingbat.mf + dingbat.mf fcr10.mf fcr9.mf + feyntext10.mf feyntext10.mf fgeit10.mf + fgeit10.mf fgerm10.mf fgerm10.mf + fulmr10.mf fulmr9.mf ifclk10.mf + ifclk10.mf ifgeo10.mf ifgeo10.mf + ifsym10.mf ifsym10.mf ifwea10.mf + ifwea10.mf igoblacki8.mf igoblacki9.mf + igoblackiii8.mf igoblackiii9.mf igowhitei8.mf + igowhitei9.mf igowhiteiii8.mf igowhiteiii9.mf + lightbulb10.mf lightbulb10.mf lightbulb10.mf + lightbulb10.mf lightbulb10.mf lightbulb10.mf + lightbulb10.mf lightbulb10.mf lightbulb10.mf + matha10.mf matha9.mf mathb10.mf + mathb9.mf mathx10.mf mathx10.mf + mbb10.mf mbb9.mf simpsons.mf + skak10.mf skull.mf skull.mf + trsy10.mf trsy10.mf ulsy10.mf + universal10.mf universal9.mf wnr10.mf + wnr9.mf wsuipa10.mf wsuipa9.mf + + +For completeness, these are the scalable fonts used in the PDF +versions of the symbol list: + + ASCII.pfb (ASCII) + ArevSans-Roman.pfb (Arev Sans) + MnSymbol10.pfb (MnSymbol10) + SkakNew-Figurine.pfb (SkakNew-Figurine) + cmbsy10.pfb (CMBSY10) + cmbsy7.pfb (CMBSY7) + cmbx10.pfb (CMBX10) + cmbx12.pfb (CMBX12) + cmbx7.pfb (CMBX7) + cmbx9.pfb (CMBX9) + cmcsc10.pfb (CMCSC10) + cmex10.pfb (CMEX10) + cmllr10.pfb (CMLL Regular 10pt) + cmllr9.pfb (CMLL Regular 9pt) + cmmi10.pfb (CMMI10) + cmmi5.pfb (CMMI5) + cmmi6.pfb (CMMI6) + cmmi7.pfb (CMMI7) + cmmi8.pfb (CMMI8) + cmmi9.pfb (CMMI9) + cmmib10.pfb (CMMIB10) + cmmib5.pfb (CMMIB5) + cmr10.pfb (CMR10) + cmr12.pfb (CMR12) + cmr17.pfb (CMR17) + cmr5.pfb (CMR5) + cmr6.pfb (CMR6) + cmr7.pfb (CMR7) + cmr8.pfb (CMR8) + cmr9.pfb (CMR9) + cmsl12.pfb (CMSL12) + cmss10.pfb (CMSS10) + cmss8.pfb (CMSS8) + cmss9.pfb (CMSS9) + cmssi10.pfb (CMSSI10) + cmsy10.pfb (CMSY10) + cmsy5.pfb (CMSY5) + cmsy6.pfb (CMSY6) + cmsy7.pfb (CMSY7) + cmsy8.pfb (CMSY8) + cmsy9.pfb (CMSY9) + cmti10.pfb (CMTI10) + cmti7.pfb (CMTI7) + cmti9.pfb (CMTI9) + cmtt10.pfb (CMTT10) + cmtt12.pfb (CMTT12) + cmtt8.pfb (CMTT8) + cmtt9.pfb (CMTT9) + dictsym.pfb (Dictionary Symbols Georg Verweyen) + dsrom10.pfb (dsrom10) + dsss10.pfb (dsss10) + esint10.pfb (esint10) + eufm10.pfb (EUFM10) + eurm10.pfb (EURM10) + eusm10.pfb (EUSM10) + eusm7.pfb (EUSM7) + feymr10.pfb (TeX feymr10 Regular) + icelandic.pfb (icelandic) + lcircle1.pfb (LCIRCLE10) + lcirclew.pfb (LCIRCLEW10) + line10.pfb (LINE10) + logo10.pfb (LOGO10) + logo9.pfb (LOGO9) + logosl10.pfb (LOGOSL10) + manfnt.pfb (manfnt) + marvosym.pfb (Martin Vogel's Symbols) + md-chr7v.pfb (MathDesign CH Regular Extension 10) + md-chr8c.pfb (MathDesign CH Regular TS1 10) + md-gmr7v.pfb (MathDesign GM Regular Extension 10) + md-gmr8c.pfb (MathDesign GM Regular TS1 10) + md-utr7v.pfb (MathDesign UT Regular Extension 10) + md-utr7y.pfb (MathDesign UT Regular Symbol 10) + md-utr8c.pfb (MathDesign UT Regular TS1 10) + md-utrma.pfb (MathDesign UT Regular MathDesignSymbolA 10) + md-utrmb.pfb (MathDesign UT Regular MathDesignSymbolB 10) + msam10.pfb (MSAM10) + msam7.pfb (MSAM7) + msbm10.pfb (MSBM10) + msbm7.pfb (MSBM7) + msym10.pfb (MSYM10) + musix11.pfb (TeXMUSIX11-Regular) + musix13.pfb (TeXMUSIX13-Regular) + phaistos.pfb (phaistos) + pmhg.pfb (Archaic Poor Mans Hieroglyphs) + proto10.pfb (Archaic ProtoSemitic) + rsfs10.pfb (rsfs10) + rtcxr.pfb (rtcxr) + sfrm0600.pfb (Computer Modern Roman) + sfrm0700.pfb (Computer Modern Roman) + sfrm0900.pfb (Computer Modern Roman) + sfrm1000.pfb (Computer Modern Roman) + sfrm1095.pfb (Computer Modern Roman) + sfrm1200.pfb (Computer Modern Roman) + sfrm2488.pfb (Computer Modern Roman) + sfsi1000.pfb (Computer Modern Sans Serif Slanted) + stmary10.pfb (stmary10) + stmary8.pfb (stmary8) + stmary9.pfb (stmary9) + tipa10.pfb (TeX tipa10 Regular) + tipa8.pfb (TeX tipa8 Regular) + tipa9.pfb (TeX tipa9 Regular) + tipx10.pfb (TeX tipx10 Regular) + tipx9.pfb (TeX tipx9 Regular) + txexa.pfb (txexa) + txmia.pfb (txmia) + txsy.pfb (txsy) + txsyc.pfb (txsyc) + uhvb8a.pfb (Nimbus Sans L Bold) + usyr.pfb (Standard Symbols L) + utmr8a.pfb (Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular) + utmri8a.pfb (Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular Italic) + uzcmi8a.pfb (URW Chancery L Medium Italic) + uzdr.pfb (Dingbats) + vect10.pfb (TeX vect10 Regular) + vect9.pfb (TeX vect9 Regular) + vnr10.pfb (VNR10) + vnr9.pfb (VNR9) + wasy10.pfb (wasy10) + wasy9.pfb (wasy9) + yfrak.pfb (Yannis Fraktur Regular) + ygoth.pfb (Yannis Gotisch Regular) + yhcmex.pfb (Yhcmex) + yswab.pfb (Yannis Schwabacher Regular) |
