A macro is -provided which starts a paragraph with an embedded initial. - - -LaTeX files ------------ -yfonts.dtx LaTeX source -yfonts.ins installation script -frktest.tex short example - - -The fonts ---------- -The package yfonts.sty supports the following fonts: - -ygoth Gotisch from <ctan>/fonts/gothic/ygoth -yswab Schwabacher <ctan>/fonts/gothic/yswab -yfrak Fraktur <ctan>/fonts/gothic/yfrak -ysmfrak Fraktur (variant) <ctan>/fonts/gothic/yfrak -yinitas initials <ctan>/fonts/gothic/yinit - -It depends on your TeX system, how the above fonts are to be -installed. This topic is NOT discussed here. - -*** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING - -The font "ygoth" is known to produce Metafont errors. In -rare cases such problems have been observed with the other -fonts, too. This has nothing to do with the package -yfonts.sty, it is due to incorrect Metafont code of the -fonts. - -Questions and bug reports on this problem should be sent -to Yannis Haralambous <yannis@fluxus-virus.com>, who has -designed the old german fonts. - - -Installing the LaTeX package ----------------------------- -Put the files yfonts.dtx and yfonts.ins into a common -directory. On a TDS-compliant TeX system, use: - - texmf/source/latex/yfonts - -Run LaTeX on yfonts.ins to generate the macro package file -yfonts.sty. Move it to a directory where TeX searches for -input files; in a TDS compliant system this should be: - - texmf/tex/latex/yfonts - -If you have properly set up your docstrip program and the -above directory exists already, this is done automagically! - -Run LaTeX on yfonts.dtx to typeset the documentation of the -LaTeX package. The documentation is written in german, so -you will need german.sty and the german hyphenation -patterns. - -Run LaTeX on the example frktest.tex to see an example using -the blackletter fonts; again, german.sty is required. - - -A short (and incomplete) english guide to yfonts.sty ----------------------------------------------------- -The commands \gothfamily, \swabfamily, \frakfamily and -\initfamily switch to Gotisch, Schwabacher, Fraktur or -initials within the current group. - -\textgoth{...}, \textswab{...}, \textfrak{...} and -\textinit{...} typeset their argument using old german -fonts. - -Size changing command are honored; available sizes are 10pt, -10.95pt, 12pt ... 24.88pt. - -There are no further font series or shapes. You may however -use Schwabacher for emphasizing within a Fraktur -environment, thus following historical practice. - -The regular \baselineskip is too large for the old german -fonts; the command \fraklines selects a suitable -\baselineskip for Fraktur or Schwabacher within the current -group; you must repeat it after any size changing command. - -Some ASCII symbols are missing (there is e.g. no ";" in the -Schwabacher font, and none of the fonts has a "@") - -A paragraph in Fraktur which starts with an embedded -initial: - - {\frakfamily\fraklines - \yinipar{E}in Absatz ... - - \par - } - -\yinipar begins a new paragraph (like \par) and suppresses -indentation (like \noindent). The end of the paragraph -(blank line or \par) must be within in the same group as the -command \fraklines. - -Use the regular LaTeX commands for umlauts, accents and -special symbols. You may additionally load german.sty. - -Important ligatures: - - *a *e *o *u produce a special version of the umlauts with - a small e instead of the dots. Load the package with the - option [varumlaut] to get them with the regular commands, - like \"a or "a, too. - - s: is the so-called final s - - the sharp s may be produced by \ss, "s or the ligature sz - -The command \etc produces a once popular symbol for "etc."; -it is available in the Fraktur font only. - - -History -------- -v1.3 <2003-01-08> \AA and \aa fixed. - -v1.2 <1999-05-12> License agreement changed to LPPL. - -v1.2 <1998-09-10> New: \yinipar - -v1.1 <1997-09-11> - - -% finis - |
