-AMSFonts 2.2 READ.ME January 1995
-This is a documentation file to accompany the AMSFonts 2.2 distribution.
-
-Copy all of the files in this directory (/pub/tex/amsfonts) and the following
-subdirectories, into a corresponding directory tree on your system:
-
- All users:
- /pub/tex/amsfonts/plaintex
- /pub/tex/amsfonts/doc
- /pub/tex/amsfonts/doc/latex
- /pub/tex/amsfonts/latex
- /pub/tex/amsfonts/tfm
-
- Users of Cyrillic text:
- /pub/tex/amsfonts/alt-cyr
-
- Users who wish to use .pk files provided with the distribution:
- appropriate subdirectories of /pub/tex/amsfonts/pk-files,
- depending on resolution of output device
-
- Users who wish to generate their own .pk files:
- /pub/tex/amsfonts/sources and its subdirectories
-
-Read the section below, "Installing AMSFonts 2.2 on your system," for
-instructions for correct installation.
-
-If you are preparing to obtain the files in this distribution by ftp,
-please note that transmission time can be improved by getting the files
-in compressed format, if you have the necessary unpacking tools at your
-end.
-
-From a CTAN archive, you can for example request dirname.zip to get the
-contents of any directory in zipped form, and similarly for other common
-compression formats; see the CTAN help information for more details.
-(NOTE: subdirectories are automatically included; but in the case of the
-AMSFonts distribution you should be careful to avoid retrieving all the
-pk-files subdirectories, as they contain hundreds of files and it's
-highly unlikely that you will require them all.)
-
-From the AMS archive at e-math.ams.org, .tar.Z or .tar files for
-various common selections are available in the parent directory `ams'.
-To unpack these you need `tar' and `uncompress' programs.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-What changes were made between AMSFonts 2.1 and AMSFonts 2.2?
-
-The primary change is the inclusion of LaTeX support macro files as
-part of the AMSFonts distribution. 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.
