-The ar font and package bundle is used to insert the "aspect ratio" symbol
-in any text and formula dealing with (presumably) aeronautics. The "aspect
-ratio" symbol is a ligature among a capital A and a capital R, much as the
-\AE command produces a ligature among a capital A and a capital E. The
-ligature AR as a means of indicating the "aspect ratio" is meaningful only
-in mathematics, so that only the inclined (italic) form is available,
-although the METAFONT source statements were written in such a way as to
-produce the symbol in any font family, series and shape.
-
-The .mf files are for the generation of the AR ligature in the same sizes as
-the standard math-italic fonts; the ar.sty package (or option in terms of
-the old LaTeX209 terminology) is for the necessary definitions. In practice
-as a final user you should start your LaTeXe document with:
-
-\documentclass[...]{book}% or whatever other document class
-\usepackage{ar}
-...
-\begin{document}
-...
-\end{document}
-
-If you prefer to use LaTeX in its 209 version or in compatibility mode, you
-start with:
-
-\documentstyle[...,ar]{book}% or whatever other document style
-...
-\begin{document}
-...
-\end{document}
-
-The "aspect ratio" symbol is simply obtained by using the command
-
-\AR
-
-indifferently in math mode or in text mode.
-
-Remember, though, that with true LaTeX209 the \AR command produces a single
-sized symbol (by default 10pt), and if you want another size you have to
-edit ar.sty and change the string
-
-at 10pt
-
-with, say,
-
-at 12pt
-
-This is so rudimentary that you'd better start using LaTeXe, where all the
-size changes are correctly dealt with by the New Font Selection Scheme
-(NFSS) without your intervention.
-
-
-The bundle contains the following files:
- ar5.mf
- ar6.mf
- ar7.mf
- ar8.mf
- ar9.mf
- ar10.mf
- ar12.mf
- ar.sty
- ar.txt
-
-Move the .mf file somewhere where METAFONT can find them; this depends on
-the TeX-METAFONT system you are using, but if you cope with the official
-TDS directory scheme, you might place them in
-
-\texmf\fonts\source\local\ar
-
-(you should probably create/add the "branch" local\ar).
-
-Similarly move ar.sty in a directory searched by LaTeX, possibly, with the
-official TDS system, in
-
-\texmf\tex\latex\misc
-
-If your system requires it (as with MikTeX, for instance) you might choose
-to run such an application as
-
-configure -u
-
-in order to let the executables know about the files you added and where
-they are.
-
-Depending on the system you are using, at this point you might need to
-generate the font .tfm and .pk files, but if you are using a modern system
-such as MikTeX, for example, you need not worry any more and you can
-directly use the ar.sty package. As soon as the latex executable finds a
-reference to \AR, it controls the existance of the suitable .tfm file, and,
-should it be missing (not yet generated), it shells out to another
-application, maketfm, that produces the necessary file and moves it in the
-proper subdirectory. Similarly when you preview and/or print your document,
-the accompanying drivers (yap, dvips, etc.) run the application that
-produces the .pk files suited for the screen and/or the printer pixel
-density.
-
-If you do not have such modern tools, it is necessary to run METAFONT by
-hand or by means of a script or batch or command file in order to produce
-the fundamental .tfm files and the pixel files suited to your printer and/or
-screen; your scripts should move the .tfm files where they belong, and the
-.pk files where your drivers can find them. Please read the relevant
-documentation that acompanies your software; it is difficult to give error
-free instructions valid for any operating system, any system configuration,
-and any software.

-
-Happy LaTeXing!
