It can +be used to set body texts and works well in titles and +headlines too. It is truly multilingual, with glyphs for +Central and Eastern Europe, Baltics, Cyrillic and Asian +Cyrillic communities. There is currently just a regular +weight and an artificially emboldened bold. + +To install this package on a TDS-compliant +TeX system download the file +"tex-archive"/install/fonts/forum.tds.zip where the +preferred URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirrors.ctan.org. +Unzip the archive at the root of an appropriate texmf tree, +likely a personal or local tree. If necessary, update the +file-name database (e.g., texhash). Update the font-map +files by enabling the Map file forum.map. + +To use, add + +\usepackage{forum} + +to the preamble of your document. This will activate +Forum as the main (serifed) text font. + +LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or +who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option. + +Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to +scale the fonts. + +The only figure style is proportional lining. + +Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1, TS1 and T2A/B/C. + +The original Truetype font was obtained from + +https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Forum + +and is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, version +1.1; the text may be found in the doc directory. The +bold and type1 versions was created using fontforge. The +support files were created using autoinst and otftotfm and +are licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public +License. The maintainer of this package is Bob Tennent (rdt +at cs.queensu.ca) |
