+\title{\bf The Doublestroke Font V1.111}
+
+\author{Olaf Kummer}
+
+\maketitle
+
+\section{Introduction}
+
+This font is useful for typesetting the mathematical
+symbols for the natural numbers ($\mathds{N}$),
+whole numbers ($\mathds{Z}$), rational numbers ($\mathds{Q}$),
+real numbers ($\mathds{R}$), complex numbers ($\mathds{C}$),
+and a couple of others which are sometimes needed.
+
+The easiest possibility to represent these sets using
+\TeX{} is to use boldface, where you get $\mathbf{N}$
+after entering \verb:$\mathbf{N}$:.
+
+Then one can assemble the glyphs from
+other ones. For example the expression \verb:$\mathrm{I\!N}$:
+yields $\mathrm{I\!N}$.
+
+The calligraphic symbol $\mathcal{N}$ generated by
+\verb:$\mathcal{N}$: is another option.
+
+But if none of the above suits your needs or
+personal taste, you should use a special font. These fonts
+are known as the blackboard bold fonts. There is a
+well-known font distributed by the AMS as
+\texttt{amsyb}, but the fonts
+\texttt{bbold} by Alain Jeffery and \texttt{bbm} by
+Gilles F.~Robert are viable options, too.
+
+And there is this font, too, which was designed
+to be as similar to the Computer Modern family of fonts
+by Donald E.~Knuth as possible. Which of these options you
+prefer is a matter of personal taste, so read on to find
+out whether you like this font.
+
+
+\section{License}
+
+You may use and distribute these fonts as you like.
+You may modify these fonts as long as you do not
+rename the files to one of those names that
+Donald E.~Knuth chose for the Computer Modern fonts.
+(And seriously, who would want to do that?)
+
+
+\section{Installation}
+
+Here are the instructions to install the doublestroke package.
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item If a previous version of this font is installed, remove all
+the files, especially the font files that were generated by
+\MF{} after the first installation.
+
+\item Depending on how you obtained this package it might be
+necessary to unpack/uncompress an archive. Now the files
+\begin{verbatim}
+dsdoc.dvi dsrom12.pfb dsss10.mf dsss8.tfm
+dsdoc.ps dsrom12.tfm dsss10.pfb dstroke.map
+dsdoc.tex dsrom8.mf dsss10.tfm readme
+dsfont.sty dsrom8.pfb dsss12.mf Udsrom.fd
+dsrom10.mf dsrom8.tfm dsss12.pfb Udsss.fd
+dsrom10.pfb dsrom.mf dsss12.tfm
+dsrom10.tfm dsromo.mf dsss8.mf
+dsrom12.mf dsromu.mf dsss8.pfb
+\end{verbatim}
+should be present.
+
+\item Make sure that you have \TeX, \LaTeX{} (with NFSS), and \MF{}
+installed. Make sure that \texttt{cmbase.mf} is accessible by \MF.
+
+\item Move the files to their destination.
+
+\begin{tabular}{lll}
+The files & are & and are needed by \\[1ex]
+\texttt{*.tfm} & font metric files & \TeX \\
+\texttt{*.fd} & font defintions & \TeX \\
+\texttt{*.sty} & style files & \TeX \\
+\texttt{*.mf} & \MF sources & \MF \\
+\texttt{*.pfb} & PostScript fonts & \TeX \\
+\texttt{*.map} & font map files & \texttt{dvips}, PDF\TeX
+\end{tabular}
+
+The exact location where the files belong depends on your
+installation. As a first approximation, install them
+near other files with the same extension.
+
+Unlike previous versions of this font, no pregenerated
+fonts at 300\,dpi are included, because
+these fonts should always be generated with the proper
+\MF{} mode. The metric files are included, however, because
+they do not depend on the printer.
+
+\item Verify the installation by generating this documentation
+file from its source \texttt{dsdoc.tex}. The resulting file
+\texttt{dsdoc.dvi} should be identical to this text.
+
+\item If you want to use the PostScript fonts, you have to make
+ them known to \texttt{dvips} and/or PDF\TeX. The details of
+ this process depend on your system installation. For example,
+ if you are working in a Unix-style environment with a recent
+ \TeX\ installation, you can configure \texttt{dvips} by setting
+ the environment variable \texttt{DVIPSRC} to point to a
+ configuration file \texttt{myconfig}, which would look as
+ follows:
+\begin{verbatim}
+p +dstroke.map
+\end{verbatim}
+ This will tell \texttt{dvips} to load the font map file.
+ PDF\TeX\ looks for a configuration file called
+ \texttt{pdftex.cfg}, into which you should put the line
+\begin{verbatim}
+map +dstroke.map
+\end{verbatim}
+ for it to find the PostScript fonts.
+
+ Note that for this to work, all files need to be put into their
+ appropriate places. If you are unsure about where to put
+ things, consult your system administrator or the manual of your
+ \TeX\ system.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+You have probably done all of the above, because you are reading
+this documentation. But maybe you got this documentation from
+somewhere else and ran into trouble during the installation.
+In this case try the following:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If \LaTeX{} complains about a missing input file, check whether
+ the files \texttt{*.fd} and \texttt{*.sty} are accessible and readable.
+\item If \LaTeX{} complains about a missing font, check the
+ placement of the files \texttt{*.tfm}.
+\item If \LaTeX{} issues strange errors, you might have an old version
+ of \LaTeX{} or NFSS. Try using the fonts with low-level font
+ commands instead of dsfont.sty and check the next item, too.
+\item If \LaTeX{} issues strange errors, the files might have been
+ corrupted during transmission. Conversions of CR, LF, and
+ so on might cause this problem.
+\item If the previewer or the printer driver complains about missing
+ fonts and does not automatically call \MF{} to generate
+ these font, either adapt your installation or generate
+ the fonts by hand. Depending on your installation you
+ must run something like
+\begin{verbatim}
+mf '\mode=localfont; input dsrom10'
+\end{verbatim}
+ for each of the fonts.
+\item If \MF{} is called and complains about missing source
+ files, check whether these (\texttt{*.mf}) are placed
+ correctly.
+\item If \MF{} is called and complains about strange paths
+ or about paths that do not intersect, you are probably
+ generating the font at a lower resolution than 100\,dpi.
+ There is little you can do except ignoring the errors or
+ telling \MF{} to do so. Please report such errors only
+ if they occur at resolutions above 100\,dpi.
+\item If the previewer or the printer driver complains about missing
+ characters, check whether you have deleted all files from
+ previous versions of this font.
+\item If the previewer or the printer driver complains about a
+ checksum error, check whether you have deleted all files from
+ previous versions of this font.
+\end{itemize}
+
+If that does not help and your friendly \TeX nician is unavailable,
+drop me a mail. I will try to help you, if time permits.
+
+
+\section{Usage}
+
+You can use the fonts with all versions of \TeX{} and \LaTeX,
+if you apply the low-level command \verb:\font:.
+For example we can write
+\begin{verbatim}
+\font\dsrom=dsrom10
+$$\hbox{\dsrom N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$$
+$$\hbox{\dsrom ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}$$
+\bye
+\end{verbatim}
+to obtain
+\[\mathds{N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\]
+\[\mathds{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}\]
+using \TeX{} alone.
+If \LaTeX{} and NFSS are available as suggested in the installation
+section, you can use the style \texttt{dsfont} for an easier and more
+flexible approach. The style provides a single command \verb:\mathds:
+which can be used in math mode to typeset a doublestroke symbol.
+It use is similar to that of \verb:\mathbb: from the
+AMS package. For example
+\begin{verbatim}
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage{dsfont}
+\begin{document}
+\[\mathds{N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\]
+\[\mathds{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}\]
+\end{document}
+\end{verbatim}
+will again result in
+\[\mathds{N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\]
+\[\mathds{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}\]
+as we have already done in \TeX. The uppercase letters shown here
+are the most common, but there are a few others in use.
+\begin{verbatim}
+\[\mathds{1}\;\mathds{h}\;\mathds{k}\]
+\end{verbatim}
+results in
+\[\mathds{1}\;\mathds{h}\;\mathds{k}\]
+Why are the other lowercase letters and numerals missing? Well,
+they would be ugly if treated in the same way as the uppercase
+letters. Hence I considered the beauty of each individual letter
+more important than the completeness of the whole character set.
+Using \verb:\mathds{a}: we can get the letter $\mathds{a}$.
+This is the way the letter $\mathds{A}$ looked in previous versions
+of this font. It is provided in case somebody likes the old
+version better. The two other letters $\mathds{V}$ and $\mathds{W}$
+have changed significantly, too, but there will be nobody who
+prefers the old glyphs, I think.
+
+Let us look at some examples.
+\begin{verbatim}
+\[\mathds{N}\subset\mathds{Z}\subset\mathds{Q}
+ \subset\mathds{R}\subset\mathds{C}\]
+\[\{a_i\}_{i\in\mathds{N}}\textrm{~where~}a_i\in\mathds{C}\]
+\[\forall x\in\mathds{X}:\exists s\in\mathds{S}:
+ x\circ t\in\mathds{T}^\mathds{1}\]
+\end{verbatim}
+After running \LaTeX{} we get
+\[\mathds{N}\subset\mathds{Z}\subset\mathds{Q}
+ \subset\mathds{R}\subset\mathds{C}\]
+\[(a_i)_{i\in\mathds{N}}\textrm{~where~}a_i\in\mathds{R}\]
+\[\forall x\in\mathds{X}:\exists s\in\mathds{S}:
+ x\circ s\in\mathds{T}^\mathds{1}\]
+We can see that the font can occur in subscripts
+or superscripts without any problems.
+The last formula shows the possibility to use the
+doublestroke font for custom defined objects. Some caution is
+required here. Usually it is best to stick to those symbols
+whose usage is common, like the natural numbers $\mathds{N}$ etc.
+But there are reasons to use own glyphs, of course.
+
+Some people prefer a sans serif doublestroke font. This can be
+accomplished by a minimal change of the \TeX{} source.
+\begin{verbatim}
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage[sans]{dsfont}
+\begin{document}
+\[\mathds{N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\]
+\[\mathds{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}\]
+\end{document}
+\end{verbatim}
+Did you spot the change? The result is
+\[\varmathds{N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\]
+\[\varmathds{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}\]
+In this document I had to use both fonts for example purposes.
+Do not do this at home, unless you really know why.
+I discourage the simultaneous use of serif and
+sans serif doublestroke fonts in a single document, because
+it results in confused readers.
+
+
+\section{Changes}
+
+\subsection*{Changes in Version 1.0}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The characters $\mathds{1}$, $\mathds{h}$, and $\mathds{k}$
+were added.
+
+\item The characters $\mathds{A}$, $\mathds{V}$, and $\mathds{W}$
+were completely redone.
+
+\item For several characters the size of the serifs was adjusted.
+
+\item Several characters were made more robust at low resolutions.
+In order to achieve this goal, the appearance of the letter
+$\mathds{S}$ had to be changed for some extreme parameter settings.
+
+\item The sans serif version of the font was added. The metaness
+required to generate a sans serif font was already present
+in the earlier version. The style file was rewritten to allow
+a choice between the two fonts.
+
+\item 8-point fonts for subscripts were added.
+
+\item The pregenerated fonts were removed from the distribution.
+
+\item This document was written.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\subsection*{Changes in Version 1.1}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The license section was added.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\subsection*{Changes in Version 1.11}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Documentation bugs were corrected
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\subsection*{Changes in Version 1.111}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item PostScript versions of the fonts were added. These were
+ generated from the \MF\ sources using the \texttt{mftrace}
+ program by Han-Wen Nienhuys.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+\section{Thanks}
+
+Thanks go to D.~E.~Knuth who gave \TeX, \MF, and
+Computer Modern to the world.
+Marco Kuhlmann added the PostScript version of the fonts
+and commented on the installation process.
+J\"urgen Vollmer provided some
+ideas that were used in this documentation file.
+Han-Wen Nienhuys created \texttt{mftrace}, which was
+required for creating PostScript versions of this font.
+Reinhard Zierke did not only provide the most complete
+\TeX{} installation I can imagine, but also
+motivated this improved version of the font.

+
+Doublestroke Font V1.111 27th of August, 2002
+------------------------
+
+This font is based on the Computer Modern Roman family of fonts
+by D. E. Knuth. It is useful for typesetting the mathematical
+symbols for the natural numbers (N), whole numbers (Z),
+rational numbers (Q), real numbers (R) and complex numbers (C).
+
+
+License
+-------
+
+You may use and distribute these fonts as you like.
+You may modify these fonts as long as you do not
+rename the files to one of those names that
+Donald E. Knuth chose for the Computer Modern fonts.
+(And seriously, who would want to do that?)
+
+
+How to Install
+--------------
+
+1. If a previous version of this font is installed, remove all
+the files, especially the font files that were generated by
+Metafont after the first installation.
+
+2. Depending on how you obtained this package it might be
+necessary to unpack/uncompress an archive. Now the files
+
+dsdoc.dvi dsrom12.pfb dsss10.mf dsss8.tfm
+dsdoc.ps dsrom12.tfm dsss10.pfb dstroke.map
+dsdoc.tex dsrom8.mf dsss10.tfm readme
+dsfont.sty dsrom8.pfb dsss12.mf Udsrom.fd
+dsrom10.mf dsrom8.tfm dsss12.pfb Udsss.fd
+dsrom10.pfb dsrom.mf dsss12.tfm
+dsrom10.tfm dsromo.mf dsss8.mf
+dsrom12.mf dsromu.mf dsss8.pfb
+
+should be present.
+
+3. Make sure you have TeX, LaTeX (with NFSS), and Metafont
+installed. Make sure that cmbase.mf is accessible by Metafont.
+
+4. Move the files to their destination.
+
+The files are and are needed by
+ *.tfm TeX font metric files TeX
+ *.fd font defintions TeX
+ *.sty style files TeX
+ *.mf Metafont sources Metafont
+
+The exact location where the files belong depends on your
+installation. As a first approximation, install them
+near other files with the same extension.
+
+5. Verify the installation by generating the documentation.
+Run `latex dsdoc' and have a look at the file dsdoc.dvi which
+contains the documentation and usage samples.
+
+6. If you want to use the PostScript fonts, you have to make
+them known to dvips and/or PDFTeX. The details of
+this process depend on your system installation,
+typically using the mapping information from the
+file dstroke.map and following further instructions
+contained in the main manual.
+
+7. After reading the examples in the file dsdoc you can
+use the fonts in your own documents.
+
+
+
+After the Installation
+----------------------
+
+Do not worry, most installations complete without any problems.
+However, if the procedure described above does not work, I suggest
+the following actions:
+ - If LaTeX complains about a missing input file, check whether
+ the files *.fd and *.sty are accessible and readable.
+ - If LaTeX complains about a missing font, check the
+ placement of the files *.tfm .
+ - If LaTeX issues strange errors, you might have an old version
+ of LaTeX or NFSS. Try using the fonts with low-level font
+ commands instead of dsfont.sty and check the next item, too.
+ - If LaTeX issues strange errors, the files might have been
+ corrupted during transmission. Conversions of CR, LF, and
+ so on might cause this problem.
+ - If the previewer or the printer driver complains about missing
+ fonts and does not automatically call Metafont to generate
+ these font, either adapt your installation or generate
+ the fonts by hand. Depending on your installation you
+ must run something like
+ mf '\mode=localfont; input dsrom10'
+ for each of the fonts.
+ - If Metafont is called and complains about missing source
+ files, check whether these (*.mf) are placed correctly.
+ - If Metafont is called and complains about strange paths
+ or about paths that do not intersect, you are probably
+ generating the font at a lower resolution than 100 dpi.
+ There is little you can do except ignoring the errors or
+ telling Metafont to do so. Please report such errors only
+ if they occur at resolutions above 100 dpi.
+ - If the previewer or the printer driver complains about missing
+ characters, check whether you have deleted all files from
+ previous versions of this font.
+ - If the previewer or the printer driver complains about a
+ checksum error, check whether you have deleted all files from
+ previous versions of this font.
+
+If that does not help and your friendly TeXnician is unavailable,
+drop me a mail. I will try to help you, if time permits.
+
+I am always glad to hear about improvements and bug reports,
+general comments are appreciated, too.
