The files in the "latex" subdirectory -of this directory are compatible with LaTeX2e, the current LaTeX standard. -Users of LaTeX 2.09 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to LaTeX2e, as -we do not support the use of AMSFonts with LaTeX 2.09. - -The only significant change to the characters in the fonts was a bug -fix which corrected an anomaly in the Blackboard Bold N character from -the MSBM fonts. That character printed incorrectly at a few -resolutions (including 600dpi), and it now prints correctly at all -resolutions. The metrics for AMSFonts 2.2 are not different from those -for AMSFonts 2.1. - -There has also been a slight change to the file amssym.tex, and very -significant changes to the User's Guide. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ - -INSTALLING AMSFonts 2.2 ON YOUR SYSTEM - -1. Installing the fonts: - -The files from the appropriate subdirectory of the pk-files -subdirectory of this directory (/pub/tex/amsfonts/pk-files/dpi118 for -118dpi fonts, /pub/tex/amsfonts/pk-files/dpi180 for 180dpi fonts, -etc.) should be copied into the directory/ies where your device -drivers look for .pk files to translate .dvi files into printed or -displayed output. - -If your TeX looks at one directory, where the magnifications and resolutions -of the pk files are indicated as part of the extension of the filename, then -you may copy them precisely as they are. If your TeX expects all pk files to -have the extension simply `.pk' and the magnifications and resolutions are -determined by the name of the subdirectory in which they appear, then you -will want to copy them into subdirectories named similarly to their current -extensions, and rename them all to have extension `.pk'. For example, if your -TeX looks for a subdirectory named DPI300 for 300dpi pk files, then you will -want to copy all of the files *.300pk into that directory and then rename -them all to *.pk; also copy *.329pk into DPI329 (or whatever name your TeX -uses) and then rename them all to *.pk; etc... - -The .tfm files from the directory /pub/tex/amsfonts/tfm should be -copied into the directory on your system where your implementation of -TeX looks for .tfm files. - -2. Installing the auxiliary files: - -There are two sets of files which provide macros necessary for using -AMSFonts 2.2 in TeX. One set is for Plain TeX or AMS-TeX, and one set -is for LaTeX. If you use Plain TeX or AMS-TeX, then the files in -/pub/tex/amsfonts/plaintex should be placed in the directory (or a -directory in the path) which your implementation of TeX searches for -input files. If you use LaTeX2e, then the files in -/pub/tex/amsfonts/latex should be placed in that directory. - -WARNING: If your version of LaTeX2e is earlier than December 1996, and -if your operating system and TeX implementation both refer to -filenames in a case-sensitive manner, you will need to use the .fd -files in the obsolete subdirectory of the latex directory, instead of -the .fd files in the latex directory. Note that this generally does -not apply to you if you are using DOS/Windows or using Textures -on the Macintosh. However, if you are using TeX in Unix or using -OzTeX on a Macintosh, this warning does apply to you. - -If you are likely to use LaTeX2e as well as Plain TeX or AMS-TeX, then -install the files from both directories where your TeX will find them -for input. - -If you use LaTeX 2.09, then we strongly encourage you to upgrade your -installation to LaTeX2e, as this is the current standard for LaTeX -throughout the world, and we do not provide support for use of -AMSFonts in LaTeX 2.09. - -3. The User's Guide: - -The `doc' subdirectory (/pub/tex/amsfonts/doc) contains five files which -have filenames beginning with `amsfndoc'. In order to TeX and print -the entire User's Guide, you must first install the fonts. When you -have completed all of the above installation steps, run the file -`amsfndoc.tex' through TeX. It will input the other four `amsfndoc' -files. The output will be a complete guide to the use of AMSFonts 2.1. -NOTE: Do NOT use AMS-TeX or LaTeX to TeX amsfndoc.tex; simply use -Plain TeX. - -This directory also contains a file called "amsfonts.faq" in which we -will place frequently asked questions about AMSFonts. - -The /latex subdirectory of the "doc" directory contains LaTeX .dtx -files containing technical commentary on the source code for the LaTeX -support files in the AMSFonts distribution. Although these .dtx files -are included for reference, most users can ignore them. - -4. Other files: - -Some PC device drivers have a font table which needs to be updated in order -for the driver to recognize the fonts. For instance, the TeX Preview software -provided by ArborText has a file called `preview.fnt' which contains the names -of all fonts which the Preview program is expected to find, and the effective -resolutions (resolution multiplied by magnification) at which to find them. In -order to use AMSFonts with this, or any other software which uses such a table, -you must enter the names of each of the fonts in the AMSFonts package and the -effective resolutions at which you have them installed. The file -`amsfonts.lst' in the /pub/tex/amsfonts directory contains a list of all of the -font names and all of the resolutions for the 118dpi and 300dpi distribution. -You may have to alter the format of this file to make it conform to your -driver's needs or to reflect installation of only some of the fonts, or -globally some of the resolutions with different ones (e.g. replace all -magnifications of 300dpi with corresponding magnifications of 240dpi). See the -documentation for your device driver to see what format is required. IF YOUR -DEVICE DRIVER DOES NOT DEPEND ON SUCH A TABLE, THIS FILE IS NOT NECESSARY. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ - -USE OF THE LATEX `amsfonts' PACKAGE - -Version 2.2 of the LaTeX package amsfonts.sty is carefully constructed -to allow it to be used for processing pre-existing documents originally -written for AMS-LaTeX 1.2beta or earlier. This means that documents that -loaded amsfonts.sty through statements such as the following should -continue to work without change. - -1. \documentstyle[amsfonts]{article} - -2. \documentstyle[amstex]{article} - -3. \documentstyle[amssymb]{article} - -4. \documentstyle{amsart} - -5. \documentclass{amsart} - -6. \documentclass{article} - \usepackage{amsfonts} - -7. \documentclass{article} - \usepackage{amstex} - -8. \documentclass{article} - \usepackage{amssymb} - -There is an exception, however, for the variants 6 and 7: If your document -was written for AMS-LaTeX 1.2beta, some time in 1994, AND if it uses any -of the symbols - - \square \Box - \lozenge \Diamond - \vartriangleright \rhd - \vartriangleleft \lhd - \trianglerighteq \unrhd - \trianglelefteq \unlhd - \rightsquigarrow \leadsto - \Join - -then you may find that those symbol commands now produce `Undefined -control sequence' errors. The easiest way to fix this is to load -the amssymb package, i.e. change variants 6 and 7 to - -6a. \documentclass{article} - \usepackage{amssymb} - -7a. \documentclass{article} - \usepackage{amssymb,amstex} - -For symbols \Box, etc, you have a choice of either adding the latexsym -package or defining them in terms of the equivalent symbols from the -amssymb package. - ------------------------------------------ -Questions concerning the use of AMSFonts may be directed to: - -Technical Support -Electronic Products and Services -American Mathematical Society -201 Charles Street -P.O.
