Introduction + +MonTeX (Mongolian for LaTeX) is a modular package which provides +Mongolian to the LaTeX user community. + +The present package represents Implementation Level IIa and provides +the Cyrillic script in immediate and transliteration modes. + +In addition, it is possible to have short portions of Mongolian script +(`bicig') in the document, both horizontally and vertically, but for +enjoying vertical output it is necessary that PostScript support is +installed. Most modern LaTeX installations come with PostScript +anyway so this should not be a very difficult problem. + +Subsequent implementation levels add more features: scripts, +writing directions, etc. + + +1. Installation + +Remove all old files of previous MonTeX Implementation Level I +installations, including the font bitmaps (*.pk) and tfm files. + +Unpack the archive montexivu.tgz in some temporary directory. + +teTeX users can proceed to section 1.1, MikTeX users should read +section 1.2. + + +1.1 teTeX (and other TeX systems based on the TeX Directory Structure) + +Create subdirectories, either in your main TeX installation, or +in any local tree, with the following structure: + + mkdir $TEXMF/tex/latex/montex/ + mkdir $TEXMF/fonts/source/public/mfinput/mls/ + mkdir $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/mls/ + mkdir $TEXMF/doc/montex/ + +Copy the appropriate contents into the newly created directories: + + cp $TMP/texinput/* $TEXMF/tex/latex/montex/ + cp $TMP/mfinput/* $TEXMF/fonts/source/public/mfinput/mls/ + cp $TMP/tfm/* $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/mls/ + cp $TMP/doc/* $TEXMF/doc/montex/ + +Rehash the file name database by executing texhash. + +Execute texconfig and proceed to menu item <hyphenation> +for creating a format file with Mongolian hyphenation +patterns. You will have to edit the file language.dat (which +appears in the editor window automatically) and insert +the following line (perhaps somewhere after Hungarian (magyar) +and before Norwegian (norsk): + +mongolian mnhyphen.tex % mnhyphex.tex % No exceptions now. + +in the list of languages. + +There is no need to procure the graphics and rotating packages +externally since they are provided with teTeX. + +GhostScript and GhostView are also regularly found on UNIX and +notably Linux systems so there should be full-fledged off-the-shelf +support for the vertical text capsules offered by MonTeX. + +eLaTeX is included in modern teTeX versions, too. + +Please also make sure you have the diagnose.sty tool somewhere, +as well as LGR Greek fonts. + +1.2 MikTeX + +Read and follow the instructions in the file MIKTEX. + +Get the graphics package and the rotating packages as well as +GhostScript if you want to print portions of vertical Mongolian. + +The latex packages can be found at CTAN (both in the Internet and +on CD-ROM) under + + macros/latex/packages/graphics + macros/latex/contrib/supported/rotating + +GhostScript versions can be found at CTAN, too, in the +/support/ghostscript/gnu subdirectory. + + +2. Running MonTeX + +MonTeX is now ready for use. It is activated by stating + +\usepackage{mls} + +in the preamble of your document. + +You can provide options for the document language and/or the +input file encoding, like + +\usepackage[xalx,mls]{mls} + +which prepares a document in Modern Mongolian using the MLS +encoding. Consult doc/montex.tex for details. + + +3. General Remarks + +When using MonTeX for the first time you may observe a +seemingly unusual font generating activity. By default, +MonTeX uses the T1 encoding, and requires these fonts +to be available. If you happened to use the old TeX font +encoding (known as OT1---and you may have been unconsciously +doing so for all your previous documents) then prepare +for anything between a few minutes and an hour (depending +on your system's speed) for the fonts to be computed. + +This is a singular event and will not bother you later on. + +The user documentation montex.tex contains many typeface +examples (in fact, unusually many for an average document) +so the display and printing of this document does not +reflect ordinary usage. + + +4. Points of Concern for emtex users + ----- + +emtex does not offer RL capabilities, and thus you will +not be able to generate pure Mongolian or Manju documents +on an emtex system. If you want to stick to a DOS-ish +environment then the fptex system, available on CTAN, is +recommended. + +It is however possible to execute all the functions MonTeX +has been offering before Implementation Level IV. + +Under emtex, the document montex.tex requires substantial +basic memory (below 640kB) for printing, and printing only. +The typeface demonstration contained in the documentation +loads a plethora of fonts (around twenty or so) which will +force emtex's printing program to abort if available +`conventional' memory is below 500 and a few kilobytes. +In this case there are basically two choices: temporarily +remove some device drivers, or start the program directly +from the DOS prompt. Shells (even like Norton Commander and +friends) sometimes eat exactly these 2 kB of memory which +decide on failure or success. If nothing helps, open the +file montex.tex in your editor, go to the line near no. 12 +and change the parameter of "FontSamples" from "6" to "1". +You can now see whether the printer driver generates all +necessary fonts without problems. Increase the FontSamples +parameter step by step until all fonts are built, and try +to print the document again. + + +5.
