@@ -5,69 +5,102 @@ I have been unable to find the author or maintainer or copyright holder
of the Metafont karta, containing map symbols. Problems have arisen with
that font, mainly the usual ones: "Strange path" errors and capacity
exceeded. I have change the coding a bit to try to avoid these. Also,
-there were two paths defined with incorrect turning number, causing
-elements of two figures to be omitted. This was also corrected. Aside
-from that, no actual paths were changed. To avoid confusion with the
-original files, I have renamed the result nkarta, and place it in the
-public domain.
+there were two paths defined with incorrect turning number, and
+incorrect order of operations (a too-late unfill operation caused
+previously drawn elements of two figures to be erased). This was also
+corrected. Aside from that, no actual paths were changed.
+Licence
+-------
+To avoid confusion with the original files, I have renamed the result
+nkarta. Barring any legal claim by the creator of karta.mf, I hereby
+place nkarta in the public domain.
+
+Version
+-------
+This is version 0.2. The previous version failed to include a version
+number. It will be called version 0.1 when I need to refer to it.
+
+Use
+---
The character shapes are all in nkchars.mf, which is input by a driver
file nkarta.mf. The font produced has design size 15pt. A file
nkart15.mf is provided as an example showing how that design size can be
changed. In order to get a 20pt font, just copy nkarta15.mf to
nkarta20.mf and then edit it, changing 15 to 20 everywhere.
-Finally, to allow larger scaling without risking exceeding Metafont's
-capacity, I have ported the figures to MetaPost in nkarta.mp. These
-figures have the same numbers as the corresponding characters in
-nkarta.mf. That is, after "mpost nkarta.mp", the file nkarta.NN
-contains the same picture as charater NN in the nkarta font. Without
-scaling, they will be the same size that nkarta.mf produces.

-To install nkarta:
+Installing nkarta
-----------------
-1. Copy the .mf files somewhere Metafont will find them. In a TDS compliant
- system, that would be a subdirectory path similar to
- texmf-local/fonts/source/public/nkarta
+ 0. Run tex or latex on nkarta.ins to generate the *.mf and *.mp source
+ files.

-2. Copy the .tfm file somewhere TeX searches for TFM files, for example
- texmf-local/fonts/tfm/public/nkarta
+ 2. Copy the .tfm file somewhere TeX searches for TFM files, for example
+ texmf/fonts/tfm/public/nkarta
-3. Copy the .mp file and nkchars.mf where MetaPost will find them, for
- example:
- texmf-local/metapost/nkarta
- (If your MP already looks in the MF search path, this second copy of
- nkchars.mf is not necessary.)
+ 3. Copy the .mp files where MetaPost will find them, for example:
+ texmf/metapost/nkarta
-4. Copy readme, *.tex and *.ps where documentation is kept, for example:
- texmf-local/doc/fonts/nkarta
+ 4. Copy README, *.tex and *.pdf where documentation is kept, for example:
+ texmf/doc/fonts/nkarta
-5. Refresh the filename database, if your system requires it.
+ 5. Copy nkarta.dtx and nkarta.ins where source files are kept, for example:
+ texmf/source/fonts/nkarta
+
+ 6. Refresh the filename database (mktexlsr or MiKTeX Options).
A list of the files and their uses.
- README This file.
- nkarta.mf Preliminary definitions for MF
- nkarta.mp Preliminary definitions for MP
- nkchars.mf Actual figures, input by nkarta.mf and nkarta.mp
- nkarta15.mf The font at 15pt.
- nkarta15.tfm Prebuilt .tfm file.
- fonttable.tex A table of the characters (requires testfont.tex
- and nkarta15.tfm).
- fonttable.ps Prebuilt PS file from running tex and dvips on above.
- figtable.tex A table of the figures (requires testfont.tex,
- epsf.tex, and nkarta15.tfm).
- figtable.ps Prebuilt PS file from running tex and dvips on above.
+ README This file
+ nkarta.ins The script for unpacking nkarta.dtx
+ nkarta.dtx The source for the next five files:
+ nkarta.mf Preliminary definitions for MF
+ nkarta.mp Preliminary definitions for MP
+ nkchars.mf Actual characters, input by nkarta.mf
+ nkchars.mp Actual figures, input by nkarta.mp (a)
+ nkarta15.mf MF source for the font at 15pt
+ nkarta15.tfm Prebuilt TFM file
+ fonttable.tex Source for a table of the characters
+ figtable.tex Source for a table of the figures
+ fonttable.pdf Prebuilt PDF file (b)
+ figtable.pdf Prebuilt PDF file (c)
+
+ Notes:
+ (a) nkchars.mf and nkchars.mp are identical (apart from comments). You
+ can discard the second one if MetaPost is configured to find the
+ first one.
+ (b) fonttable.pdf was built by running
+ tex fonttable.tex
+ dvips fonttable.dvi
+ ps2pdf fonttable.ps
+ This requires testfont.tex and nkarta15.tfm
+ (c) figtable.pdf was built by running
+ mpost nkarta.mp
+ tex figtable.tex
+ dvips figtable.dvi
+ ps2pdf figtable.ps
+ This requires testfont.tex, epsf.tex and nkarta15.tfm.
+The only change from version 0.1 to 0.2 of nkarta to this one is a
+repackaging, and streamlining of the code. Also, more than 100K of
+garbage following "end" in nkarta.mp was removed.
