LaTeX support for `texnansi' encoding (LY1)
===========================================
+Installing
+==========
+

- ly1ptm.fd
- ly1phv.fd
- ly1pcr.fd

-in Microsoft Windows.

+
+into the directory texmf/tex/latex/psnfssx of your TeX system.
+These are the files that make the LY1 encodimg known to LaTeX.
+
+2. Unpack the ZIP archive ly1-min.zip in the texmf directory
+of your TeX system. Doing so will add the metrics and font
+definition files for the common Adobe Times/Helvetica/Courier
+`Standard PostScript' fonts, as well as font map files and an
+encoding vector for use with dvips.
+
+3. Add the map files ly1ptm.map, ly1phv.map and ly1pcr.map to
+your dvips setup and/or update the configuraton of other DVI
+drivers correspondingly.
+
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+The font encoding `LY1' corresponds to the `texnansi' encoding
+as used by default in the Y&Y TeX system. There is also an
+option to support the `ansinew' encoding that is the default
+encoding in Microsoft Windows.
The main file is ly1enc.def. This contains the declaration of
-the encoding. To use `texnansi' encoded fonts within LaTeX, typically
-you just need to add the line
+the encoding. To use `texnansi' encoded fonts within LaTeX,
+typically you just need to add the line
-\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}
+ \usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}
to your document preamble.
-An alternative to the above line is to use the texnansi package
+An alternative to the above line is to use the `texnansi' package
-\usepackage{texnansi}
+ \usepackage{texnansi}
This will call the fontenc package, as above, to set up the LY1
-encoding but then make further changes to the uppercase and lowercase
-tables.
-Note that LaTeX does not need these changes to correctly uppercase
-text as its \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase commands only require
-the uppercase and lower case codes of the letters a-z.
-
-So for most purposes it is better to use the call to fontenc rather
-than use the texnansi package. Then if you pass the file to a site
-using T1 (Cork) encoded fonts the line can more easily be changed to
-
-\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
-
-The texnansi package has a package option `ansinew' which modifies
-the LY1 encoding to refer to that MS Windows encoding. However you
-should only do this if your TeX system can not reencode fonts to
-support T1 or texnansi. The `ansinew' treatment of the left quote
-` as a grave accent makes it rather unsuitable for TeX use, also it
-lacks several useful glyphs. However if you need to you can go:
-
-\usepackage[ansinew]{texnansi}
-
-The other possible reason for using the texnansi package relates
-to the use of the lowercase table in the hyphenation algorithm.
-This is described below, but it is unfortunately of necessity
-rather technical, and you may want to stop reading at that point.
-
-Having declared the LY1 encoding to LaTeX, LaTeX will need to know
-the fonts that are available in this encoding. This distribution
-includes ly1ptm.fd, ly1plv.fd and ly1pcr.fd which declare the
-common Adobe Times/Helvetica/Courier `Standard PostScript' fonts.
-If you install other text fonts you can make similar ly1XXX.fd files
-based on this model. The LaTeX support packages for MathTime and
-Lucida Bright contain suitable LY1 fd files for those fonts.
-Note that these LY1 `fd' files assume that you have kept the
-original font vendor's file names rather than renaming the fonts
-to the Standard TeX `Karl Berry' naming scheme. The choice
-of font naming scheme is however not connected to the choice of
-encoding.
-
-For each encoding LaTeX needs to know an `error font' which is its
-fall back in the case that the font substitution system can find
-nothing better to do. ly1enc.def specifies that the Error Font for
-LY1 is Adobe Times Roman. This font is freely available from many
-sources (for instance it is included with the Free Adobe Acrobat
-reader) and so it seems the best choice as the error font.
-If you do not have this, you may wish to edit the lines

+lowercase tables. Note that LaTeX does not need these changes to
+correctly uppercase text as its \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase
+commands only require the uppercase and lower case codes of the
+letters a-z.

\DeclareErrorFont{LY1}{ptm}{m}{n}{10}
\DeclareFontSubstitution{LY1}{ptm}{m}{n}

-For example if you have Y&Y TeX's `Lucida' distribution
-You could change the two occurrences of {ptm} to {hlh}
-Which will make LaTeX fall back on Lucida Bright if all else
-fails. Note that the copyright is held on ly1enc.def.
-This is the only change you should make to that file.
