for these +symbols variants are included. +Some shapes were reviewed by some historians and astronomers, and the +`main shape' reflects their preference. + +The main style used for the symbols in AstroSym is calligraphic (strokes +of varying breadth). An additional version uses a uniform stroke. +It is supplied in two variants (thin and thick strokes). +The size of the symbols, and the breadth of the stroke, can easily +be changed in the driver file. +A particular set of symbols for the phases of the moon (with a `face') +is provided in one version only. +The MetaFont code of AstroSym uses the plain base, but is completely +independent of the cm-fonts. + +The AstroSym-font contains the following characters: + calligraphic style: + \char0 - \char10 : main shape - the planetary system + \char11 - \char22 : main shape - the signs of the zodiac + \char23 - \char32 and + \char56 & \char57 and + \char68 : variant shapes + \char33 - \char38 and + \char58 - \char65 : additional astronomical and astrological symbols + \char69 : a variant shape + \char48 - \char55 and + \char66 & \char67 : the four main planetoids, Chiron and Lilith + (and variants) + \char10 and \char39 - \char47 : phases of the moon, and variants + extra symbols: + \char90 - \char95 : phases of the moon, with `face' + uniform stroke, bold : \char100 - \char169 + uniform stroke, thin : \char200 - \char255 , \char178 - \char191 + +This is a preliminary version. + The shape of some symbols may need improvement. + In particular, symmetric symbols are not (yet) all guarded + against rounding effects. + +Remark: The original arrangement of symbols is retained for full compatibility. + However, since the symbols should be used via macros, + this seems not to be important and + a more logical ordering may be used in a later version. + +*** version 2.20 +*** new : characters 55-69,155-169 and 178-191,255 + including: Lilith, Chiron (2 versions), + three signs for Pluto (Pluto 4,5,6), and + (there seems to be no agreement on this sign!) + nine additional astronomical/astrological symbols +Thus, version 2.20 contains 70 characters each in three styles, + plus 6 characters + (compared to 55 characters in three styles in 2.00, + and 29 characters in three styles in 1.00). +*** version 2.00 (preliminary) *** +*** new : characters 29-54,129-154,229-254 and 91-95 + including: symbols for phases of the moon + six additional astronomical characters + Terra 2, Mars 2, Pluto 3 + Libra 3 (enlarged symbol) + symbols for four planetoids + ( Ceres, Juno, Pallas, Vesta + and Ceres 2, Juno 2, Vesta 2 ) + +The package contains the following seven files: + ASTROSYM.TXT this file + ASTROSYM.MF the driver file + ASTROSYM.MAC the macro file + ASTROSYM.CMN character definitions - common to both styles + ASTROSYM.CAL character definitions - calligraphic style only + ASTROSYM.UNI character definitions - uniform stroke only + ASTROSYM.XTR character definitions - extra symbols (one version only) + ASTROSYM.TEX sample file with symbol list (for plain TeX) + +Sorry, so far no .fd file for LaTeX2e is provided ( I do not use LaTeX :-) + +Comments and suggestions are welcome. +Since I am curious if the font is useful (and how it looks in practice) +I would appreciate a short message (with reference) -
