Zapf) are +suitable for math typesetting in conjunction with a variety +of text fonts which do not provide math character sets of +their own. + +Euler-VM is a set of _virtual_ math fonts based on Euler and +CM. This approach has several advantages over immediately +using the _real_ Euler fonts: Most noticeably, less TeX +resources are consumed, the quality of various math symbols +is improved, and a usable \hslash symbol can be provided. + +The fonts are accompanied by a LaTeX package which makes +them easy to use, particularly in conjunction with Type 1 +(PostScript) text fonts. + +To install Euler-VM, copy all files from the distribution +to the corresponding directories of your TeX system. + +The documentation is provided as a ready-made PDF file with +A4 media size in the directory doc/latex/eulervm. +It describes only the user interface. To include also the +implementation details or to typeset it on a different media +size, run the source file file eulervm.dtx through LaTeX, +using an appropriate configuration file ltxdoc.cfg. + + + +The fontinst sources +-------------------- +The directory source/latex/eulervm/fontinst contains the +sources of the virtual fonts, including a `makefile'. You +need these files only in case you want to rebuild or modify +the fonts. The following .pl files are required +additionally: + +cmbsy10.pl cmmi10.pl cmr5.pl eufb5.pl eurb7.pl +cmbsy5.pl cmmi5.pl cmr7.pl eufb7.pl eurm10.pl +cmbsy7.pl cmmi7.pl cmsy10.pl eufm10.pl eurm5.pl +cmbx10.pl cmmib10.pl cmsy5.pl eufm5.pl eurm7.pl +cmbx5.pl cmmib5.pl cmsy7.pl eufm7.pl eusb10.pl +cmbx7.pl cmmib7.pl euex10.pl eurb10.pl eusb5.pl +cmex10.pl cmr10.pl eufb10.pl eurb5.pl eusb7.pl +eusm10.pl eusm5.pl eusm7.pl euex7.pl cmex7.pl + + + +License +------- +The `Euler-VM' collection may be distributed and/or modified +under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, +either version 1.1 of this license or (at your option) any +later version. The latest version of this license is in + http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt +and version 1.1 or later is part of all distributions of +LaTeX version 1999/06/01 or later. + +The list of all files belonging to the `Euler-VM Bundle' is +given in the file doc/latex/eulervm/manifest.txt. + + + +History +------- +2005-01-11, v4.0 + Distributon re-arraged \`a la TDS. + + An obscure bug, affecting the extensible symbols in the + font zeuex10, has been fixed. (See eumx.etx) + + A bug in the fontinst script fontevm.tex, which would + prevent it from being processed by newer versions of the + fontinst program, has been fixed. + + Slightly corrected vertical symmetry axis in formulas. + + Ready-made documentation in PDF format to show the + Euler-VM fonts in use. + + NB: The macro package and the fd files are unchanged, + except for the version number. + + +2004-01-07, v3.0a + The package does no longer redefine \vdots and \ddots, + because fixing these macros should be left to the package + mathdots.sty. Virtual fonts and font metrics are + unchanged. + + Documentation updated wrt/ email address and CTAN links. + +2003-06-10, v3.0 + The symbols \leq and \geq now show the shape that is + preferred by DEK in conjunction with the Euler fonts. + (Credits to Frank Mittelbach for pointing me to this!) + The width of the symbols is unchanged. + + The option [small] now acts on the AMS fonts, too, so + there are no more restrictions affecting the usage of + amssymb.sty in conjunction with the Euler-VM fonts. + + Slightly changed mapping of font sizes to design sizes + used. Particularly, when a math font with a size of 8pt + is requested, we are now going to scale up a 7pt font, + rather than scaling down a 10pt one. This should improve + the appearance of documents with a normal font size of + 11pt, where 8pt is used for super- and subscripts. + Strictly speaking, this is an incompatible change, but I + hope that the amount of practical problems is tolerable, + as compared with the improvement. + + Fixed Makefile so as not to install the auto-generated .fd + files, which are lacking the code for the [small] option. + + VFs and TFMs were now generated with fontinst v1.914, so + that the metrics may have changed sligthly, because of + improved rounding algorithm. This may cause problems when + procesing existing DVI files. + +2003-03-02, v2.9b + \hbar produces an appropriate warning message now, + as suggested by FMi. + Additional math symbols \upOmega and \upDelta with type + \mathord, to protect against problems with the packages + gensymb and units. + Small changes to the documentation. + Note that the virtual fonts are unchanged. + +2002-11-13, v2.9a + Virtual fonts: \epsilon and \varepsilon are no longer + mixed up. + Macro package: The slash, when used as a math delimiter, + is now taken from the Euler Roman font, rather than from + the text font. + Documentation: Minor fixes and additions. + +2002-03-10, v2.8 + Use \familydefault for the operators font, rather + than \rmdefault. Minor code cleanup. + +2001-04-10, v2.7 + The option [icomma] is still available, however + undocumented. The package icomma.sty from the CTAN + directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/was/ should + be used instead. + +2001-03-06, v2.6 + Bug fixes: eulervm.sty should now work with amsmath 2.x, + regardless of the sequence of loading; \ldots, \vdots, + \ddots and the period are taken from the same fonts now, + according to the euler-digits option; improved algorithm + for the intelligent comma. + + New feature: With the package option [small], the Euler + fonts will be used at 95% of their nominal size, thus + blending better with certain text fonts such as Minion. + + The virtual fonts are unchanged. When installing v2.6 + over v2.2, only the package file and the .fd files need to + be replaced. + +2000-02-02, v2.2 + Bug fixes: Use Euler script for \mathcal, instead of + CM-Calligraphic; added missing bold symbols; improved + documentation. + +2000-01-19, v2.1 + first public release + + +-- finis |
