It is intended as a comprehensive Unicode based +font of mathematical symbols and alphabets. The intent is to provide +a single font that can be used throughout the production process. +The production process can be a traditional print one, be entirely +electronic, or be a combination. -The STIX fonts are a suite of unicode OpenType fonts -containing a complete set of mathematical glyphs. -They may be obtained from <http://www.stixfonts.org/>. +The project began through the joint efforts of American Mathematical +Society (AMS), American Institute of Physics Publishing (AIP), +American Physical Society (APS), American Chemical Society (ACS), +Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and Elsevier +Science. These companies are collectively known as the STI Pub +companies. -This repository is a mirror of their official release, -organised in the form of the `TeX Directory Structure' -for inclusion in TeX Live and MiKTeX. +This distribution provides a new packaging format of the STIX +fonts suitable for use with LaTeX. The glyph set is based on the +previously released Version 1.1.0 glyph set. -The STIX fonts are released under the SIL Open Font -License, Version 1.1. They have copyright (c) 2001-2010 -by the STI Pub Companies. Please see the official -documentation for further information. +The stix package provides LaTeX support for using STIX fonts in both +text and math. While the primary focus of this release is the math +portion of the fonts, text fonts are provided as well. The text +fonts are provided in both T1 (default) and OT1 encodings, as well +as TS1 symbol font encoding, which cover only a subset of Latin +characters supported by STIX fonts. The math support covers nearly +every mathematical symbol in STIX fonts, around 2400 symbols in 11 +regular fonts, in addition to around 1950 symbols in 10 bold fonts. +There are also three fonts containing extra miscellaneous symbols, +stix-extra1, stix-extra2 and stix-extra3, provided as TFM and PFB +files without support from the macro package. + +To install this package, unzip the /install/fonts/stix.tds.zip +archive at the root of any suitable texmf tree and, if necessary, +update the file-name database (e.g., texhash texmf). Update +the font maps by doing updmap[-sys] -enable Map stix.map. +For usage instructions, see the stix.pdf document. + +This distribution also includes the version 1.1.1 OpenType font +files for use with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. Previously released versions +of the fonts are not included, but are available from +http://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/. + +The STIX fonts are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, +Version 1.1. The support software is licensed under the terms of the +LaTeX Project Public License. The maintainer of this package is Mark +Doyle (doyle@aps.org). STI Pub would like to thank Bob Tennent for +his assistance in packaging the fonts and updating the README for +distribution on CTAN. --------------- -Will Robertson -May 2010 |
