That works by creating Metafont or MetaPost +figures using a preprocessor. It's more general than this package, +but is at its best when creating relatively large diagrams, for +figures. In contrast, the present system consists of a +carefully-designed font with which you can write simple diagrams, +within equations or within text, in a size matching the surrounding +text size. + + +Status +------ + +The font, and this associated style file, should be regarded as +beta software at present. The propagators and vertices which are +implemented are those which _I_ needed. I'd be delighted to +add more if folk feel they would be useful. + +See the package's home page on the web: http://purl.org/nxg/dist/feyn + + +Installation +------------ + +Extract the package file from the distribution file using `latex +feyn.ins'. The resulting `feyn.sty' should be installed in the usual +location for style files -- that is, something like +`texmf.local/tex/latex/feyn.sty'. The Metafont source files `*.mf' +should be installed in a directory with a location such as +`texmf.local/fonts/source/feyn/' (on a system which has the command, +`kpsepath mf' will indicate the possibilities here, but these +typically include the current directory). That should be all you need +to do as regards the installation of the fonts -- if your TeX setup is +installed correctly, then the usual font-generation commands (such as +`mktexpk' for example) should work as normal, and they should be +invoked by default when you LaTeX the feyn.dtx file. + +You should be able to find generic instructions for installing LaTeX files at +http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=installthings + + +Licence +------- + +This software is copyright, 1991, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2008, Norman Gray.
