It supports the standard +T1 and TS1 font encodings as well as Y&Y's proprietary LY1 +encoding. + +This file set does NOT include: + +* the actual Type 1 fonts, which are to be purchased from + Y&Y, Inc. <http://www.yandy.com/lucida.htm> + +* the LaTeX macro packages and the related .fd files for + the math fonts; they are provided from the CTAN directory + macros/latex/contrib/supported/psnfssx/lucidabr/ + +The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant +TeX system such as teTeX, fpTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. The +directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of the +TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than +one such directory tree, the documentation should tell you +where to install new files. + +| +| As to VTeX/Free, an alternative set of files is provided +| from <http://home.vr-web.de/was/lucidayy>. It includes +| also the ready-made macro packages and comes with very +| detailed installation instructions for VTeX. Due to +| historical reasons its directory layout is somewhat +| different, while the actual .fd, .tfm and .vf files are +| the same. +| + +| +| This distribution uses standard "Karl-Berry-style" file +| names for all font metric (tfm) files. Thus, it can NOT +| be used with applications such or Y&Y's plain TeX macros, +| where Y&Y's proprietary file names are -- unfortunately +| -- hardwired. The required tfm and map files with +| Y&Y-style file names are supplied by Y&Y in conjunction +| with the Lucida fonts. They can be installed either +| alternatively or in addition to the present ones. +| + + +Installing the Type 1 font files +-------------------------------- +You have to choose whether to rename the font files to +standard "Karl-Berry-style" names or to leave the file names +unchanged. A "makefile" is provided to help you renaming +the large number of PFB and AFM font files. Put it into the +same directory as the files and run "make PFBs" to rename +the .pfb files or "make AFMs" to rename AFM files. + +Copy the following math fonts into the directory +texmf/fonts/type1/bh/lumath of your TeX system: + +Y&Y file name: standard file name: +lbma.pfb hlcra.pfb +lbmad.pfb hlcda.pfb +lbmd.pfb hlcdm.pfb +lbmdi.pfb hlcdim.pfb +lbmdo.pfb hlcdima.pfb +lbme.pfb hlcrv.pfb +lbmi.pfb hlcrim.pfb +lbmo.pfb hlcrima.pfb +lbmr.pfb hlcrm.pfb +lbms.pfb hlcry.pfb +lbmsd.pfb hlcdy.pfb + + +Copy the following text fonts into the directory +texmf/fonts/type1/bh/lucidabr of your TeX system: + +Y&Y file name: standard file name: +lbtbo.pfb hlcbot8a.pfb +lbtb.pfb hlcbt8a.pfb +lbl.pfb hlcrf8a.pfb +lbc.pfb hlcrie8a.pf +lbki.pfb hlcrin8a.pfb +lbh.pfb hlcriw8a.pf +lbkr.pfb hlcrn8a.pfb +lbto.pfb hlcrot8a.pfb +lbtr.pfb hlcrt8a.pfb +lbd.pfb hlhb8a.pfb +lbdsc.pfb hlhbc8a.pfb +lbdi.pfb hlhbi8a.pf +lbr.pfb hlhr8a.pfb +lbrsc.pfb hlhrc8a.pfb +lbi.pfb hlhri8a.pfb +lbsl.pfb hlhro8a.pf +lsd.pfb hlsb8a.pfb +lsdi.pfb hlsbi8a.pfb +lstbo.pfb hlsbot8a.pfb +lstb.pfb hlsbt8a.pfb +lsr.pfb hlsr8a.pfb +lsi.pfb hlsri8a.pfb +lsto.pfb hlsrot8a.pfb +lstr.pfb hlsrt8a.pfb +lsb.pfb hlsu8a.pfb +lsbi.pfb hlsui8a.pfb +lfd.pfb hlxb8a.pfb +lfdi.pfb hlxbi8a.pfb +lfr.pfb hlxr8a.pfb +lfi.pfb hlxri8a.pfb + +With TeX systems other than VTeX, the directory names do NOT +actually matter, as long as the .pfb files reside at least +below texmf/fonts/type1. With VTeX/Free, however, you must +use exactly the directory names as indicated above; +otherwise the font map (.ali) files need to be modified. + +Copy also the related .afm files to the corresponding +directories below texmf/fonts/afm/bh, in case your TeX +system makes use of .afm files! + + + +Unpacking the distribution +-------------------------- +Unpack the ZIP archive lucida.zip in the directory "texmf" +of your TeX system. All files will be generated in the +appropriate directories then. + +NB: +The .fd files are unpacked to the directory +texmf/tex/latex/lucida, as opposed to ../lucidabr. The +latter name seems to be more appropriate, but the former +name is, unfortunately, widely used. Yet a directory named +"lucidabr" may already exist in your TeX system, and you may +feel free to move the .fd files there; just make sure that +you don't end up with two different sets of .fd files in +different directories! + + + +Configuring your TeX system +--------------------------- +The programs of your TeX system need to be configured to use +the additional font mapping files for the Lucida Bright and +Lucida New Math fonts. The following map files are provided +in the distribution: + +Font map files for dvips and pdfTeX: + + lucidabr.map for the text fonts, using Y&Y file names + lumath.map for the math fonts, using Y&Y file names + + lucidabr-k.map for the text fonts, using standard names + lumath-k.map for the math fonts, using standard names + +Copy the files you want to use to a suitable directory of +your TeX system, most likely texmf/dvips/lucida or +texmf/dvips/config. Make sure that there are no other, +possibly obsolete, map files with the same names in other +directories. + +Font map files for VTeX: + + lucidabr.ali for the text fonts, using Y&Y file names + lumath.ali for the math fonts, using Y&Y file names + + lucidabr-k.ali for the text fonts, using standard names + lumath-k.ali for the math fonts, using standard names + +Copy the files you want to use to a suitable directory of +your TeX system, most likely texmf/fonts/map/vtex. Make +sure that there are no other, possibly obsolete, map files +with the same names in other directories. + +Consult the documentation of your TeX system, how to +configure it to actually use these font mapping files! + + + +Required version of the TeXBase1 encoding vector +------------------------------------------------ +Accessing the Euro and Omega symbols through the TS1 (text +companion) encoding requires at least version 2.0pre of the +encoding vector 8r.enc. The very latest release is always +available as <http://tug.org/fontname/8r.enc>. + + + +Using the Lucida fonts with LaTeX +--------------------------------- +The file texmf/doc/fonts/bh/lucida.txt includes some usage +notes and a list of all available font families, series and +shapes with their NFSS classification. + + + +How this package was created +---------------------------- +The font metrics, virtual fonts and .fd files for the T1 and +TS1 encodings were created using fontinst v1.914 with +several patches. They are based on the AFM files +distributed on Y&Y's CD-ROM "Lucida Bright Complete" (1999). + +The font metrics for the LY1 encoded text fonts and for the +math fonts were simply copied from the above-mentioned +CD-ROM and renamed to KB-style names. The related .fd files +for the text fonts were patched to reflect the changed font +names. + + + +History +------- +2003-03-12 + + All typewriter fonts have vertically centered asterisks + now; all textcompanion fonts have vertically centered + \textaskeriskcented symbols. + + The Omega symbol \textohm is made available in the + textcompanion fonts. + + The Polish diacritics have been somewhat improved, but + are not really satisfying yet. + + Font mapping files have been moved out of the zip archive, + with respect to their changed location in the future TDS + 1.0. + + Some empty and unneeded directories have been removed + from the archive lucida.zip. + +2003-01-13 + There are thorough changes over the previous CTAN distrib: + + The new file set includes also the metrics for LY1 encoded + text fonts. These are the original files from Y&Y, only + renamed to Karl-Berry-style names. The related .fd files + were changed appropriately. Thus, LY1 can be used easily + beside T1/TS1. + + The LY1 and TS1 encodings make the Euro symbol (\texteuro) + accessible, which is present in the current release of the + Lucida fonts. + + With T1/TS1 encoding, the same set of font series and + shapes is supported as with Y&Y's original distribution. + The previous CTAN distribution, in contrast, included a + number of additional series/shapes, which were based on + artificially compressed, expanded or slanted fonts and + faked smallcaps. Notice that these were never documented! + + The obsolete OT1 font encoding is no longer supported with + the Lucida fonts. + + T1 encoded smallcaps fonts (hlhrc8t, hlhbc8t) include + normal digits now, as expected. Oldstyle digits are still + available in the TS1 encoding. + + +== finis |
