The initials stood for ‘Almost [Computer] Modern’, -and they were the predecessors of the Computer Modern fonts that we -all know and love (or hate) -. -There’s not a lot one can do with these -fonts; they are (as their name implies) almost (but not quite) the -same as the <i>cm</i> series; if you’re faced with a document that requests -them, the only reasonable approach is to edit the document to replace -<i>am*</i> font names with <i>cm*</i>. -<p/>The appearance of DVI files that request them is sufficiently -rare that no-one has undertaken the mammoth task of creating a -translation of them by means of virtual fonts. -<p/>You therefore have to fool the system into using <i>cm*</i> fonts -where the original author specified <i>am*</i>. -<p/>One option is the font substitutions that many -DVI drivers provide via their configuration file — -specify that every <i>am</i> font should be replaced by its -corresponding <i>cm</i> font. -<p/>Alternatively, one may try DVI editing — packages -<i>dtl</i> (DVI Text Language) and <i>dviasm</i> -(DVI assembler) can both provide round trips from DVI to -text and back to DVI. One therefore edits font names -(throughout the text representation of the file) in the middle of that -round trip. -<p/>The DTL text is pretty straightforward, for this purpose: -fontnames are in single quotes at the end of lines, so: -<blockquote> - <code>dv2dt -o</code> <<i>doc.txt</i>> <<i>doc.dvi</i>><br> - (<em>edit the <code>.txt</em> file</code>)<br> - <code>dt2dv -o</code> <<i>edited.dvi</i>> <<i>edited.txt</i>> -</blockquote><p> -(you have to compile the C programs for this). -<p/><i>Dviasm</i> is a <i>Python</i> script; its output has font -names in a section near the start of the document, and then dotted -about through the body, so: -<blockquote> - <code>python dviasm.py -o</code> <<i>doc.txt</i>> <<i>doc.dvi</i>><br> - (<em>edit the <code>.txt</em> file</code>)<br> - <code>python dviasm.py -o</code> <<i>edited.dvi</i>> <<i>edited.txt</i>> -</blockquote><p> -Both routes seem acceptable ways forward; it is a matter of taste -which any particular user may choose (it’s not likely that it will be -necessary very often...). -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>dviasm.py</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dviasm.zip">dviware/dviasm</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dviasm/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/dviasm.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>dtl</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dtl.zip">dviware/dtl</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dtl/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/dtl.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=amfonts">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=amfonts</a> -</body> |
