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.
