Unfortunately, it has become a real monster, but i did +not find a better way to get what i wanted - which is probably due to the fact, that i never wrote something +like this before - so dont mind me my rather "simple" solution. + + +xq is under the LaTeX project public license + + + +The package contains: + +the style file - xq.sty +basefont - xqbase.mf +hint file needed by xqbase - hints.mf +font files for "normal" sized boards - xqnormal.mf +font files for "large" sized boards - xqlarge.mf +an example file demonstrating the abilities of the style - xqexample.tex +the example file in pdf format for taking a quick look - xqexample.pdf +and finally this readme file - README + + + +On my local tree it works with the files copied to the following places: + +/texmf/tex/latex/xq/xq.sty + +/texmf/fonts/source/public/xq/xqbase.mf + xqnormal.mf + xqlarge.mf + hints.mf + + + +If problems occur, that the fonts are not loadable, put everything in one folder with the input file and +run latex.

You can avoid +this by putting the unit length for the picture in the style file a little smaller. However, i found it +looks better like it is now. + +The boards are sometimes set a bit unclean on a pdf output file. I solved the problem by producing a pdf +via dvi and ps. After that procedure i always had a clean output in acroread. + + + +I hope everything works like it should, if not, please let me know... + +Stephan Weinhold, 09/2006 +stewei@surfeu.de |
