It should allow most -modern TeX postprocessors, including dvips, dvipdfm, and pdftex (not -exactly a postprocessor), to generate PS and PDF which avoids bugs in -some document readers on some platforms and which can be imported -easily into third-party software, such as Adobe Illustrator. - -INSTALLATION AND USE - -The following instructions are intended for teTeX based systems. You -should not have too much trouble adapting them to other distributions. -All files should unpack into appropriate sub-directories according to -the TeX directory standard used by teTeX, et al. The top-level -directory is named texmf. You may safely unpack into your main texmf -tree, or into your $HOME/texmf. Copy the bash scripts from -texmf/ai/bin to a directory in your path. Run texhash, and you are -ready to go! The three scripts aidvips, aipdftex, and aipdflatex are -set up to allow easy access to the fonts. Aidvips remaps fonts using -one of the following command-line options: - --Pai Remap low characters, but do not embed any fonts --Paiz (default) Remap low characters, embedding re-encoded - BSR/Y&Y/AMS fonts - -SOME DETAILS - -There is one .vf file for each of the BSR/Y&Y/AMS Computer Modern and -AMS publicly released Type 1 fonts. The corresponding .tfm files are -not included, as the standard CM/AMS .tfm files should be used. This -ensures that TeX processing will be unaffected by these fonts, since -TeX never uses .vf files. Each virtual font maps all characters in a -standard .tfm file to another special .tfm file, included in the -distribuiton. Each standard metric file has a corresponding remapped -file which is named by prepending "ai" to the standard name. For -example, each character in cmr10.tfm is mapped, through cmr10.vf, to a -character in aicmr10.tfm. The content of aicmr10.tfm is identical to -cmr10.tfm, except that characters in the "control-character" range, -0-32 and 127, have been remapped to higher postions in the range -161-196. Ligature and kerning information is updated to reflect the -change. The BSR/Y&Y/AMS Type 1 fonts doubly encode these characters in -the higher positions for just this purpose. This avoids problems with -some software when interpretting the final PS or PDF file. - -Adobe Illustrator can directly interpret postscript output from dvips -using Type 1 Computer Modern fonts that have been remapped with the ai -virtual fonts. This is safer than using the "-G" command line or "G" -configuration file option in dvips because it allows any of the 128 -standard BSR/Y&Y/AMS fonts to be intermixed with ordinary text Type 1 -fonts such as Times and Helvetica. If you save imported dvips -postsript in Illustrator .ai or .eps format, AI might have a problem -reopening the file, giving an error about invalid font remapping. But -if you save the file in .pdf format, AI can re-open it without a -problem. At least this is true for Illustrator 7, which is the latest -version I have. - -The package includes a couple of perl scripts in texmf/doc/fonts/ai/ -that were used to generate the virtual fonts. It should be possible to -use these scripts to process other similar doubly-encoded fonts which -may include the BaKoMa fonts or Taco Hoekwater's fonts. - -CHANGES - -Version 1.2 adds bsr.map and modifies the shell scripts in order to -make the ai virtual fonts work easily with the latest TeX Live -distribution (July 2001). |
