Furthermore I +corrected the spacing between the letters, they should look better now. +Unfortunately at the moment I have no tool to make a shar archive of the +files, but I hope you will forgive me... + +BTW, I compiled the runes with the following command. As example I use +the 10pt version of the Futhark font for hp-Laser-/Deskjet (300dpi). +I run Metafont under SCO-Unix, but I'd say it shouldn't be too different +to use the DOS/Mac/Amiga/Atari/??? versions of Metafont. + +mf "\mode:= CanonCX;" "\mag:= 1;" \input futhol10 + +This will build the gf-file. To get the pk-file you have to invoke the +program gftopk, and afterwards copy tfm and pk files into the +directories where they belong. + +And now again here's the Metafont source for the Older Futhark alphabet +with corrected spacing between the letters. They are as good as Shavana +and I managed to design them. I include the parameter files and the +files to compile 10pt, 20pt, 30pt, 40pt and 50pt runes, which should +cover almost every case. + +This font should be used with LaTeX and the old font selection scheme, +as I haven't created a font family and so on for it yet. Who wants to +use AmS-LaTeX or the new font selection scheme has to put a little more +work in it. + +I didn't encounter any problems compiling this font with Metafont (with +plain bases, not the computer modern ones), and I hope you don't either. +Enjoy! + + +Walk in the Light! + Stayka deyAvemta + +------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Email: hz225wu@unidui.uni-duisburg.de | We live in a universe of magic! + +------------------------------------------------------------------------- + diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/fonts/futhark/futhold.tex b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/fonts/futhark/futhold.tex new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..f5ec338c602 --- /dev/null +++ b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/fonts/futhark/futhold.tex @@ -0,0 +1,70 @@ +\documentstyle{article} +% +% File: futhold.tex +% Date: 1993/05/02 +% +\parindent0pt +\newfont{\futharknormal}{futhol10} +\newfont{\futharklarge}{futhol20} +\newfont{\futharklarger}{futhol30} +\newfont{\futharkhuge}{futhol40} +\newfont{\futharkmonstrous}{futhol50} +\begin{document} + +\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} +\hline +\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{\large\bf{}The Older Futhark, +10pt\rule[-0.5ex]{0pt}{3ex}}\\ +\hline +\hline +Letter to type in & 'Real Letter' & Rune \\ +\hline +\rule{0pt}{3ex} F & F & {\futharknormal F } \\ +U & U & {\futharknormal U } \\ +X & TH & {\futharknormal X } \\ +A & A & {\futharknormal A } \\ +R & R & {\futharknormal R } \\ +K & K & {\futharknormal K } \\ +G & G & {\futharknormal G } \\ +W & W & {\futharknormal W } \\ +H & H & {\futharknormal H } \\ +N & N & {\futharknormal N } \\ +I & I & {\futharknormal I } \\ +J & J & {\futharknormal J } \\ +Y & EI & {\futharknormal Y } \\ +P & P & {\futharknormal P } \\ +Z & Z & {\futharknormal T } \\ +S & S & {\futharknormal S } \\ +T & T & {\futharknormal T } \\ +B & B & {\futharknormal B } \\ +E & E & {\futharknormal E } \\ +M & M & {\futharknormal M } \\ +L & L & {\futharknormal L } \\ +Q & ING & {\futharknormal Q } \\ +D & D & {\futharknormal D } \\ +O & O & {\futharknormal O } \\ +: & : & {\futharknormal : } \\ +\hline +\end{tabular} + +\pagebreak +{\bf FUTHARK, 10pt}\\[1ex] +{\futharknormal FUXARK} + +\vspace{3ex} +{\bf FUTHARK, 20pt}\\[1ex] +{\futharklarge FUXARK} + +\vspace{3ex} +{\bf FUTHARK, 30pt}\\[1ex] +{\futharklarger FUXARK} + +\vspace{3ex} +{\bf FUTHARK, 40pt}\\[1ex] +{\futharkhuge FUXARK} + +\vspace{3ex} +{\bf FUTHARK, 50pt}\\[1ex] +{\futharkmonstrous FUXARK} + +\end{document} |
