-AI Font Distribution

-(at your option) any later version.
-
-The latest version of this license is in

-and version 1.2 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX version
-1999/12/01 or later.

-INTRODUCTION
-
-The purpose of the AI font distribution is to improve the final
-conversion to Postscript and PDF formats of TeX documents which use
-the standard Computer Modern and AMS fonts. 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).
