+Components
+----------
+The fontch V2.0 package is composed of the following files:
+ README.txt -- This file
+ fontch.tex -- main macros
+ bsymbols.tex -- macros for boldface symbols
+ TS1mac.tex -- macros for the TS1 companion symbols
+ DSmac.tex -- auxiliary file for the DStroke option
+
+Description
+-----------
+ This package allows, in plain TeX, to change with a single
command the size of all fonts that are used for text input and math input.
Main text fonts of sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 20 and 24 points are available.
- The package also permits to load the Latin Modern fonts with T1 encoding
-and the corresponding companion symbol fonts TS1.
+Fonts of sizes 5, 6, 7 and 9 points are used in subscripts and subscripts of
+subscripts of other main sizes.
+In addition fontch gives support to:
+ - boldface math-italic and boldface math symbols,
+ - T1 Latin Modern fonts,
+ - TS1 companion symbol fonts.
+ - AMS fonts for boldface math,
+ - Double Stroke fonts for blackboard bold symbols
+
+Requierements
+-------------
+- In order to use the T1 options LMTone and LMTSone, you need to have installed
+ the Latin Modern fonts.
+- In order to use the AMSfont option you need to have installed the AMS fonts.
+- In order to use the DStroke option ou need to have installed the Double
+ Stroke fonts.
Installation
------------
- You have only to put the file fontch.tex in any sensible place
-in the texmf tree, like
-
- .../texmf/tex/plain/fontch/fontch.tex.
+ You have only to put the macro files fontch.tex, bsymbols.tex,
+ TS1mac.tex and DSmac.tex in any sensible place in the texmf tree, like
+ .../texmf/tex/plain/fontch/

Usage
-----
+ For using fontch.tex with the original TeX OT1 fonts (Computer Modern)
+just put at the beginning of the document:
+ \input fontch.tex
- For using fonts.tex with OT1 fonts (Computer Modern) put at the
-beginning of the document:
-
- \input fontch.tex
+The file bsymbols.tex provides macro definitions for boldface versions
+of math symbols. For using it just input the file where you need it.
- For activating T1 fonts (Latin Modern) put at the beginning:
+The fontch package has four options for handling different kinds of fonts:
- \let\LMTone\relax
- \input fontch.tex
+ - LMTone for Latin Modern T1 fonts.
+ - LMTSone for the TS1 companion symbol font.
+ - AMSfont for AMS fonts used for boldface math.
+ - DStroke for Doublestroke fonts providing blackboard-boldface symbols.
- If you want also activating support for the TS1 companion symbol font
+The four options are independent. They are activated by setting the
+corresponding variable before calling fontch.tex. For example for
+activating all the four options and using the macros for bold math
put at the beginning of the document:
- \let\LMTSone\relax
- \let\LMTone\relax
- \input fontch.tex
-
- If you want TS1 but you don't need T1 you may also activate TS1 alone:
+ \let\AMSfont\relax
+ \let\DStroke\relax
+ \let\LMTone\relax
+ \let\LMTSone\relax
+ \input fontch.tex
+ \input bsymbols.tex
- \let\LMTSone\relax
- \input fontch.tex
-
- NOTE: If you are using the T1 option it is mandatory to set some size
-type before start writing, even if you start using \tenpoint, which is the
-default size. This is needed in order to force the re-definitions of the
-accents.
-
- If you are using the T1 option it is commendable the use of encoding file
-il1-t1.tcx (or il2-t1.tcx depending on the language). You have to put as the
-first line of your TeX document
- %& --translate-file=il1-t1.tcx
-
-and then you can write your document with ISOlatin1 encoding.
+NOTES:
+-----
+ (1) There is one modification of the standard behavior of plain TeX. Plain
+ TeX defines for the font #3 the same font (tenex) for text, script and
+ scriptscript. That is awfull. The fontch package uses sevenex for
+ script and fiveex for scriptscript, as for the other fonts.
+
+ (2) The use of files il1-t1.tcx or il2-t1.tcx is recommended together
+ with the LMT1 fonts.
+
+ (3) Only the cmcs, cmmib, cmbsy and cmex AMS fonts are supported. These
+ are used for small caps and for boldface math-italic and boldface
+ greek symbols. The other AMS fonts like the Euler, Cyrillic and extra
+ symbols are not supported.
+
+ (4) Only the roman Doublestroke font is supported. The sans serif version
+ is not supported.
+
+ (5) There are two main uses of boldface math. One case is the use of
+ isolated bold characters or symbols inside a formula. For this case
+ fontch provides bold versions of math synbols and the macro \mb for bold
+ math-italic characters. The plain TeX macro "\bf" yields roman-bold
+ characters in math mode. The name of the bold version of a math symbol
+ is obtained adding the prefix "bf" to the name of the normal symbol. For
+ example a boldface italic "a" is {\mb a}, a boldface roman "P" is
+ {\bf P}, a boldface \Sigma is \bfSigma, a boldface \iff is \bfiff.
+
+ The other case is when one wants to write a complete formula in
+ boldface, for example inside a title. For this case fontch has the
+ macro \setmathbold that changes the font families 1 (cmmi) and 2 (cmsy)
+ to the bold versions cmmib and cmmbsy. The macro \unsetmathbold resets
+ the families 1 and 2 to their original values. These macros should be
+ put before and after the formula.
+
+ (6) Usually the macro \setmathbold does not change the whole formula to
+ boldface. This is due to the fact that in math mode some symbols
+ come from family #0 (cmr) or #3 (cmex) such as "+" or \int. Fontch
+ provides macros for the symbols that come from family #0, For
+ example the bold version of "(" is \bflparen.
+
+ (7) Math symbols of family #3 (cmex) do not have bold versions. In particular
+ \int, \sum and \prod. Never the less \smallint is of cmsy and does
+ a bold version.
+
+Modifications from version 1.3
+------------------------------
+
+Version 2.0 is a mayor revision.
+
+There are many improvements such as
+ -- Proper handling of smallcaps
+ -- Support for bold-math
+ -- Support for AMS fonts
+ -- Support for blackboard boldface
+ -- Correction of bugs and scaling.
+
+The behavior of V2.0 should be compatible with V1.3 except for case explained
+in Note (1).
