-
-5. "The No BS Guide to teTeX Font Installation"
- by Donovan Rebbechi
- http://www.pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/latex/no-bs.html
- May be out of date today, but may still have some useful tips about the
- fontinst application.
-
-
-
-Installing a euro font in LaTeX, although not always trivial, is a straight
-forward task. Furthermore, it is an instructive exercise for learning how
-to manually install fonts in LaTeX. Many other fonts are easier to install
-as they do not require renaming, and/or have parts that have to be obtained
-from multiple sources. So, if you can get a euro font going, you can
-probably handle most other fonts you might want to install. Admittedly,
-there are also those that are more difficult to install, especially if the
-TeX metric and/or dvips map files have not already been created for them.
-The installation of such fonts is not covered by the information provided
-here.
-
-The four basic steps for manually installing a (type 1) font under LaTeX are:
-
-1. Install the actual PostScript font (.pfb) files;
-2. Install the .tfm metric files;
-3. Install the .sty and .fd files to provide a LaTeX interface;
-4. Update the map configuration files and LaTeX directory lookup (hash)
- tables.
-
-
-The euro font has a number of issues that make it a tad more difficult
-to install than most LaTeX fonts. The euro standards commission:
-
-http://europa.eu.int/euro/
-
-originally mandated that the official standard euro symbol should always be
-rendered in the sans style even if the surrounding text uses a different
-style. This requirement violated traditional typesetting conventions and
-was later overturned. However, this policy did cause a rift as to what was
-considered the "proper" thing to do.
-
-Also, several different vendors/individuals have made their own versions of
-the euro symbol using their interpretations of what it meant to have a
-serf euro.
-
-Furthermore, LaTeX is independent of the type of fonts used - it can use
-bitmap (Type 3), PostScript (Type 1 and 1C) and even fonts of the future
-that haven't even been thought of yet - LaTeX could care less what is used
-to describe the glyph shapes, it only needs to know the height, depth, and
-width of each glyph.
-
-All of this results in the fact that there are several types of euro fonts
-(and LaTeX packages) to choose from. So, I have to make a judgement call
-as to what to recommend to use here.
-
-I assume that you want a Type 1 Postscript font as opposed to anything
-bitmapped - this will help ensure the best quality rendering possible for a
-given printer resolution. I will also assume here that the LaTeX system
-you have does not already have any support for Type 1 euro glyphs, as is
-often the case.
-
-Adobe gives out a free set of PostScript Type 1 euro fonts.
-See:
-
-http://www.adobe.com/type/eurofont.html
-
-However, Adobe does not allow its fonts to be bundled with other software
-products. This is why the fonts cannot be already pre-loaded in the LaTeX
-distributions and LaTeX users must manually obtain and install them.
-
-[Note: Also worthy of consideration is Martin Vogel's marvosym package:
- http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/marvosym/
- which includes several euro symbols as well as other symbols such
- as astronomy, structural engineering, zodiac, and the "CE" symbol.
- The marvosym package is licensed under the GPL.]
-
-This guide will focus on the use of the Adobe euro fonts. Now, you do not
-have to register, but can get the needed Adobe euro font files directly
-from:
-
-Windows and Unix:
-ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/
-eurofont.exe
-eurofont.txt
-
-Mac:
-ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/mac/all/
-eurofont.sea.hqx
-eurofont.txt
-
-Note that the file eurofont.exe is actually a zip file that is self
-extracting when run under Windows. Unix users can do a:
-
-unzip eurofont.exe
-
-to unpack it.
-
-
-
-STEP #1 - INSTALL THE ACTUAL POSTSCRIPT FONT FILES
-
-Now, the eurofont.txt will tell you that you need ATM - ignore this since
-you are using LaTeX and will have to do a manual install of the font files.
-You can install them into MS Windows using Adobe ATM, but even if you do,
-you will still have to follow the instructions here.
-
-The Adobe font files will have strange looking names. You are primarily
-interested in the ones that end in PFB ("Printer Font Binary" - but
-"PostScript Font Binary" might be a better name). These contain the
-PostScript code which describes what the glyphs look like. It is these
-files (or portions of them) that get embedded into your PostScript or PDF
-output files. The AFM (Adobe Font Metric) files describe the size of the
-boxes each glyph takes up. The PFM files do the same thing, but are used
-only by the MS Windows system. LaTeX does not use AFM or PFM files, but
-rather uses TFM (TeX Font Metric) files. There is a program (afm2tfm) that
-can convert AFM to TFM, but you don't need this as the TeX/LaTeX developers
-have done this for you already. Some font conversion programs (e.g., ps2pk)
-may require access to the AFM or PFM files. The INF files describe the
-fonts to Windows - so you don't need them (but, if curious, you can find
-the formal font names listed within them).
-
-Now, rename the PFB files from the archive as follows:
-
-_1______.PFB -> zpeurs.pfb
-_1B_____.PFB -> zpeubs.pfb
-_1I_____.PFB -> zpeuris.pfb
-_1BI____.PFB -> zpeubis.pfb
-_2______.PFB -> zpeurt.pfb
-_2B_____.PFB -> zpeubt.pfb
-_2I_____.PFB -> zpeurit.pfb
-_2BI____.PFB -> zpeubit.pfb
-_3______.PFB -> zpeur.pfb
-_3B_____.PFB -> zpeub.pfb
-_3I_____.PFB -> zpeuri.pfb
-_3BI____.PFB -> zpeubi.pfb
-
-
-The new names are, more or less, based on Karl Berry's scheme for TeX font
-names. For more information on this topic, see Karl Berry's "Filenames
-for TeX Fonts": http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/fontname/fontname.pdf
-
-Now, find your texmf directory where your LaTeX system is installed. I'll
-call this directory "<texmf>". (You may wish to use the local tree
-"<texmf-local>", or "localtexmf" under MiKTeX, instead so that your changes
-will remain even after the system is upgraded.) Go to
-<texmf>/fonts/type1/adobe and make a directory called "eurofont". Copy all
-the renamed .pfb files into <texmf>/fonts/type1/adobe/eurofont
-
-[Note: Some PostScript font files come in ASCII, not binary. Such ".pfa"
- files would go in the same directory as their pfb equivalents. Any virtual
- font files ".vf" would go in the <texmf>/fonts/vf/ directory tree.]
-
-You may also want to do the same with the AFM and PFM files so that certain
-font conversion programs can access these as well. Put the renamed AFM and
-PFM files in <texmf>/fonts/afm/adobe/eurofont and
-<texmf>/fonts/pfm/adobe/eurofont, respectively.
-
-Unix users will have to have super user privileges to make changes to the
-<texmf> directory.
-
-
-
-Now, LaTeX's configuration will have to be updated so that it knows about
-the new Adobe euro fonts.
-
-
-Of the several LaTeX packages that do this, I think that two are the best.
-The most complete, and complex, is Rowland McDonnell's eurofont package:
-
-http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eurofont/
-
-This is an EXTREMELY comprehensive (and high quality) work. The user's
-guide alone is over 60 pages. But, I'll show here how to install the
-leaner, LaTeX euro package (this actually consists of two smaller LaTeX
-packages "europs" and "eurosans"):
-
-http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/euro/
-
-Download and unpack this euro package archive. The readme.txt tells what
-to do. But, I'll repeat the steps here in my own words. I will show how
-to do things manually rather than rely on any automated install scripts.
-
-Some of these files (including the tfm and map files) may already be
-installed in some LaTeX systems, you don't have to reinstall them if
-that is the case.
-
-
-
-STEP #2 - INSTALL THE TFM METRIC FILES
-
-The tfm subdirectory (of the unpacked euro.tar.gz or euro.zip archive)
-contains the tfm files for the Adobe fonts you just installed. These tfm
-files need to be copied to:
-<texmf>/fonts/tfm/adobe/eurofont
-make this /eurofont directory as needed.
-
-
-
-STEP #3 - INSTALL THE .sty and .fd FILES TO PROVIDE A USER INTERFACE
-
-OK, now at this point the LaTeX system has access to the PostScript
-descriptions of the glyphs and their size metrics. Now, you need to provide
-LaTeX with set of names that the euro glyphs will be called by.
-
-In the latex subdirectory of the archive there will be two packages: europs
-and eurosans. eurosans restricts it's use to the sans euro because many
-people who are knowledgeable in the typographic field feel that the sans
-euro better matches with most fonts, including many popular serif ones such
-as Times. eurosans also allows the user to specify an arbitrary scaling
-factor so that the size of the euro can be adjusted (if needed) to more
-closely match that of the surrounding text. The europs package allows you
-to decide if you want a serif euro. It is easy enough to install them both.
-
-
-Now, in your <texmf>/tex/latex directory, make a directory called
-"euro" i.e., <texmf>/tex/latex/euro.
-
-Copy the eurosans.sty file into <texmf>/tex/latex/euro.
-
-Now, in the europs package will have a europs.dtx and a europs.ins file.
-Run latex on the europs.ins (e.g., latex europs.ins) to make the europs.sty
-and the uzpeu.fd, uzpeus.fd, uzpeut.fd files. Copy these four files into
-your <texmf>/tex/latex/euro directory just like you did with eurosans.sty.
-
-
-
-STEP #4 - UPDATE THE DVIPS/PDFTEX/YAP/XDVI CONFIGURATION FILES
-
-OK, now LaTeX understands how to use these new fonts and users have LaTeX
-commands that refer to them.
-
-The next step is to also inform dvips, pdfTeX, Yap, and/or xdvi, etc.,
-so that you can make and view documents with the euro symbol.
-
-The file you need is "zpeu.map" which is found in the dvips subdirectory of
-the archive. There is also a "zpeu-origname.map" which will allow the use
-of the original Adobe names (e.g., "_1______.PFB"), but it is best to change
-the names, as mentioned previously, to follow the LaTeX convention (so as to
-improve clarity and avoid future name clashes).
-
-
-Font map handling has been changed to use an updmap utility in conjunction
-with an updmap.cfg configuration file for the newer (teTeX 2.0, MiKTeX 2.4
-and later) LaTeX systems. Use one of the appropriate subsections below
-depending on your system:
-
-
--- For Systems Older Than teTeX 2.0 or MiKTeX 2.4 --
-Copy zpeu.map to your <texmf>/dvips/config directory. Now, in your
-<texmf>/dvips/config directory, edit your config.ps file (with a text editor)
-and add the following line (somewhere after the "p psfonts.map" line - there
-will be a bunch of other "p +" lines in this area):
-
-p +zpeu.map
-
-Save the changes to config.ps.
-
-For pdfTeX (and pdfLaTeX), the line:
-
-map +zpeu.map
-
-should be added to the pdftex.cfg file in the <texmf>/pdftex/config
-directory (there is no need to make another copy of the zpeu.map file as
-pdfTeX will know to look for it in dvips' config directory).
-
-MiKTeX users will also want to add to the line:
-
-p +zpeu.map
-
-to the <texmf>\miktex\config\config.makepk file so that Yap can find the
-font if it does not already look at dvips' config.ps file.
-
-MiKTeX users may also want to add the lines contained in the zpeu.map to
-<texmf>\miktex\dvips\ps2pk\ps2pk.map for other applications that may need
-it.
-
-MetaPost users may want to add the lines contained in the zpeu.map file to
-the <texmf>/dvips/config/psfonts.map file as that is what MetaPost relies
-on.
-
-Older versions of xdvi that rely on gsftopk (to convert Type 1 fonts to
-bitmap form) may also require the psfonts.map file to be updated. Newer
-versions of (the Kpathsea enabled version "xdvi-k") xdvi are able to render
-Type 1 fonts directly from the .pfb files. See Stefan Ulrich's xdvi-k site
-on Sourceforge for details:
-http://xdvi.sourceforge.net/
-
-Note that versions of dvips prior to V5.83 have a bug with partial font
-downloading that may cause a dvips error when using some types of fonts,
-like the euro packages. (The error messages can be like: "File <xxx.pfb>
-ended before all chars have been found" or "xx Subr not found", etc.)
-If you encounter this, the workaround is to update dvips or use the
--j0 option:
-
-dvips -j0 -o myfile.ps myfile
-
-Thanks to Dan Luecking for posting much information about map file
-configuration.
-
-OK, now all the files are in place. Most TeX systems (teTeX Unix and MiKTeX
-Windows) need to be told to rescan their directories in order to add the
-names of all the newly added files to the lookup cache.
-
-In teTeX (and fpTeX), the command to run is "texhash" or "mktexlsr".
-
-In MiKTeX it is "initexmf -u" to refresh the filename database and then
-"initexmf --mkpsres --search" to rebuild the PostScript resource database.
-The MiKTeX Options application has a "Refresh Now" button which does the
-same thing.
-
-These are the same commands that you run after you add any package to
-LaTeX's directories. Run this application/command.
-
-
-
--- For teTeX 2.0, MiKTeX 2.4 and Newer Systems --
-Copy zpeu.map to your <texmf>/fonts/map/dvips/misc directory. Edit the
-<texmf>/web2c/updmap.cfg file with a text editor and add the line:
-
-Map zpeu.map
-
-Now, you will have to refresh the directory lookup (hash) tables so
-that the LaTeX system can see the new zpeu.map file in the lookup cache.
-
-In teTeX (and fpTeX), the command to run is "texhash" or "mktexlsr".
-
-In MiKTeX use "initexmf -u" to refresh the filename database. The
-MiKTeX Options application has a "Refresh Now" button which does the
-same thing.
-
-Now, for teTeX 2.0 and MiKTeX systems, run the "updmap" command to update
-the map file configuration. For teTeX 3.0 and later, the command you will
-likely want to run is "updmap-sys" which updates the map files system-wide
-(as "updmap" does in teTeX 2.0). (Under teTeX 3.0 and later, "updmap" updates
-the map file settings only for the current user.)
-
-
-
-HOW TO USE THE EURO GLYPHS
-
-Now, you can use the euro packages.
-
-To use eurosans.sty, just:
-
-\usepackage{eurosans}
-
-and then \euro will produce the euro symbol that will be in sans. The other
-attributes (series, shape) will vary with that of the surrounding font.
-
-
-To use europs.sty, do a
-
-\usepackage{europs}
-
-then
-
-\EUR will produce a euro symbol that varies with the current font family
-(serif, sans, or mono).
-\EURofc will produce an "official" (old commission policy) euro symbol
-that is always in sans. There is also:
-
-\EURhv (Euro-Sans)
-\EURtm (Euro-Serif)
-\EURcr (Euro-Mono)
-
-
-
-That was easy right? Enjoy! ;)
