Of course you don't have to install anything if your +TeX system already contains these LX fonts. Verify by searching the file +lxfonts.sty in the texmf-dist rooted tree of your distribution; if it exists, +you probably can skip reading the rest of this file. + +This archive contains three main directories + +tex/ fonts/ and doc/ + +each containing a TDS compliant folder or directory structure; TDS stands +for: "TeX Directory Structure". + +Upon opening the compressed file extract or drag the contents of each main +directory to the homonymous folder in you personal/local texmf tree, that, +of course, should already be TDS compliant; if your operating system is not +so smart to add the new files to existing TDS branches of the local or system +wide TDS tree, just copy or drag only the end twigs of these distributed branches. + +The use of a personal tree is suggested in order to avoid the need of +reloading everything every time you upgrade your TeX system; in any case, +should any upgrade already contain the LX fonts, check if the upgrade +contains a more recent version of these fonts and related software; should +it be the case, delete your personal installation and use the distributed one. + +Refresh the filename databse; this operation depends from the particular +distribution of the TeX system; on a Mac OS X, where the root of your +personal texmf is ~/Library/texmf, the filename database does not need +an explcit refresh. + +On other UNIX systems, where teTeX or TeXlive are the TeX system +distributions, you need to refresh the file name database by running texhash. + +On win32 platforms, if you use the MiKTeX distribution, open the MiKTeX +Options from the Start dialog box and click the Refresh button. + +Similar operations must be performed with other TeX distributions. + +At this point you should add the line + +Map lxfonts.map + +or, at your choice, + +Mixedmap lxfonts.map + +to updmap.cfg, and then run the system program updmap (possibly as root, +or administrator). Notice that this operation is substantially +the same with every distribution and every operating system, but the +details vary from platform to platform; therefore read the documentation +of your TeX system so as to proceed as required for your particular distribution. + +WORTH NOTING: Once the system wide or local maps files contain the names of the +various LX type 1 fonts, it is irrelevant if you had specified Map or MixedMap, +because the type 1 ones will be always preferred to the METAFONT bitmapped fonts. +But since this distribution contains also the METAFONT sources, it does not hurt +to specify MixedMap. Actually the METAFONT sources are available in case you +spotted some errors and you wanted to try your chance to correct them; when you've +got the good corrections, please, don't forget to notify me! + + +If you did everything correctly, your TeX system is now capable of using the +LX fonts with LaTeX and with pdflatex, and dvips and dvipdfm can perform +their specific transformations by using the PostScript forms of these LX fonts. + +Warning: load the lxfonts.sty file in your document preamble *after* any +other call to font related packages simply with + +\usepackage{lxfonts} + +Read the demo pdf file to see how to use these fonts. Of course the +slides production software may be any class or package that produces slides; +it not necessary to use the same package used in the example. + +All you need for using these fonts is already contained in the lxfonts.sty +file. + + +Claudio Beccari Torino 2008-01-20 + + |
