In fact I needed an absolutely free -font that I could change (i.e. add all accent marks necessary to write Czech) and distribute. The -font has been created in the following manner: - -First, I drew all characters on paper with a calligraphic pen. These images have been scanned as a -truecolor bitmap using sane. The image has been further processed with GIMP to extract the -foreground characters. The image has then been broken up into its individual characters, which hav -been named according to their unicode value like \emph{uni0074.png}. - -These images can be imported to fontforge\footnote{a very good, free font editor, formerly known as -pfaedit}. Then I ran ``Autotrace'' from fontforge's menu, which started -Peter Selingers potrace on the scanned images to produce the first, raw outlines. Potrace does a -very good job, so despite the bad quality of the scanned images the first version of the font has -been done within a few hours. - -\Fontauri\fontsize{14pt}{14pt}\selectfont Despite the fact, that the font is meant to be -decorative, it is quite good readable even for longer texts, though not at small pointsizes (I -recommend a minimum of 12pt). - -\normalfont\normalsize Usage is very simple: Just include \verb!\usepackage{aurical}! into the -preamble of your document, then you can use \verb!\Fontauri!\Fontauri{} to switch to the calligraphic -font and \normalfont\verb!\normalfont! to switch back. Of course the mapfile and the fontfiles need -to be installed in the usual places, so that \TeX can find them. Alternatively you can copy all of -the files into the same directory where your document is, and \verb!dvips! it with the command\\ -\texttt{dvips -u+./aurical.map yourdocument.dvi}\\ - -Some characters are still missing, because I have no clue what they should look like, or just -because I was too lazy to implement them. These are: compwordmark, perthousandzero, @, Eng, Thorn, -eth, thorn. The numbers should look like old style figures, the drawback is that they don't look good -in calculations: \Fontauri 130-927=1057 \normalfont - -And now enjoy the font! - -\hfill{\Fontauri\fontsize{20pt}{20pt}\selectfont Christian Gollwitzer (Auriocus)} - - - -\end{document} |
