+ PostScript (Type 1) Fonts for MusiXTeX
+ Ver 1.13
+
+ 19-February-2003

+
+1. DESCRIPTION
+
+This package provides PostScript (type 1) fonts (PFB format), and dvips and
+dvipdfm map files for MusiXTeX. The fonts are based on the original METAFONT
+sources, such as musix20.mf, which are distributed with MusiXTeX. The fonts
+provided here may be used to produce printer-independent Postscript files. PDF
+files generated using type 1 fonts are well displayed by the Acrobat Reader and
+xpdf.
+
+The fonts were generated from the METAFONT sources in the TeX Live CD 2000 July
+using TeXtrace 0.45 or mftrace 1.0.12 but musix11-20, xslhz20 and xslhz20d
+were upgraded to those in musixtex-T102.tar.gz.
+
+Here is a list of the 71 generated fonts.
+
+musix11.pfb xgreg24.pfb xsld29.pfb xslhd24.pfb xslhu24.pfb xslu20.pfb
+musix13.pfb xgreg29.pfb xsld29d.pfb xslhd24d.pfb xslhu24d.pfb xslu20d.pfb
+musix16.pfb xsld11.pfb xsldd20.pfb xslhd29.pfb xslhu29.pfb xslu24.pfb
+musix20.pfb xsld11d.pfb xsldu20.pfb xslhd29d.pfb xslhu29d.pfb xslu24d.pfb
+musix24.pfb xsld13.pfb xslhd11.pfb xslhu11.pfb xslhz20.pfb xslu29.pfb
+musix29.pfb xsld13d.pfb xslhd11d.pfb xslhu11d.pfb xslhz20d.pfb xslu29d.pfb
+musixsps.pfb xsld16.pfb xslhd13.pfb xslhu13.pfb xslu11.pfb xslud20.pfb
+musixspx.pfb xsld16d.pfb xslhd13d.pfb xslhu13d.pfb xslu11d.pfb xslup20.pfb
+xgreg11.pfb xsld20.pfb xslhd16.pfb xslhu16.pfb xslu13.pfb xslz20.pfb
+xgreg13.pfb xsld20d.pfb xslhd16d.pfb xslhu16d.pfb xslu13d.pfb xslz20d.pfb
+xgreg16.pfb xsld24.pfb xslhd20.pfb xslhu20.pfb xslu16.pfb xtie20.pfb
+xgreg20.pfb xsld24d.pfb xslhd20d.pfb xslhu20d.pfb xslu16d.pfb
+
+Note: musix25 and xgreg25 were not generated because they are not used in
+ musixgre.tex or musixtex.tex.
+
+
+The control points were reduced with Fontographer.
+The fonts were hinted automatically with Fontographer. musix11 - 29 were
+hand tuned by Takanori Uchiyama.
+
+2. METHOD
+
+Most of fonts were generated using TeXtrace 0.45 running on Mac OS X 10.0.4.
+xslz20 was generated using mftrace 1.0.12 running on Mac OS X 10.2.3.
+Thirty-two fonts were generated with the original traceall.sh script. Others
+were generated with traceall.sh modified by Takanori Uchiyama. The modification
+involved reducing resolution, corresponding to enlargement of "1 thou" in
+traceall.sh. The following are lists of fonts that were generated with N-fold
+thou scripts.
+
+twofold
+ musix11, musix13, xsld11, xsld11d, xsld13, xsld13d, xsld16, xsld16d,
+ xslhd13, xslhd13d, xslhd16, xslhd16d, xslhd20, xslhd20d, xslhd24d,
+ xslhu13, xslhu13d, xslhu16, xslhu16d, xslhu20, xslhu20d, xslhu24d,
+ xslu13, xslu13d, xslu16, xslu16d, xslud20
+
+threefold
+ musixsps, musixspx, xslhd11, xslhd11d, xslhu11, xslhu11d, xslz20, xslz20d
+
+fivefold
+ xslhz20, xslhz20d, xtie20
+
+The reason for reducing resolution is that METAFONT supports only limited
+values of real numbers and so cannot generate very high resolution MusiXTeX
+fonts.
+
+3. INSTALLATION
+
+ 1) Make a directory such as $TEXMF/fonts/type1/musixtex, for PFBs.
+ 2) Copy all PFBs to the above directory; they should be readable by all users.
+ 3) Copy the map file ./dvips/musix.map to the appropriate directory, such as
+ $TEXMF/dvips/config
+ 4) Add a line
+
+ p +musix.map
+
+ to a suitable config.xxx file or, in a tetex-based distribution, add
+ musix.map to the list of map files for Type1 fonts with Metafont
+ equivalents in the updmap script, which should then be executed
+ by doing "./updmap".
+ 5) Copy the map file ./dvipdfm/musix.map to the appropriate directory, such as
+ $TEXMF/dvipdfm/config
+ 6) Add a line
+
+ f musix.map
+
+ to the config file.
+ 7) Do mktexlsr or texhash or whatever is necessary on your system to
+ re-generate the TeX database.
+
+When these fonts are used, type 1 fonts should also be used for non-music text;
+for example, type 1 versions of the Computer Modern fonts are available.
+
+4. TODO
+
+ + Hinting
+ + Modifying METAFONT sources to get high resolution outputs
