+ | THE COMPREHENSIVE LATEX SYMBOL LIST |
+ | By Scott Pakin, scott+clsl@pakin.org |
+ | |
+ | 03 January 2008 |
+ +--------------------------------------+
+
+The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List is an organized list of over 4900
+symbols commonly available to LaTeX users. Some of these symbols are
+guaranteed to be available in every TeX distribution. Others require
+font files that come with some, but not all, TeX distributions. The
+rest require font files that must be downloaded explicitly from CTAN
+(http://www.ctan.org) and installed. The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbols
+List currently showcases symbols from 112 separate typefaces.
+
+The same directory that contains this README file should also contain
+SYMLIST (an ASCII list of symbols that appear in the symbols list) and
+prebuilt versions of the symbol list for both A4 and U.S. Letter sized
+paper. If you'd like to build symbols.tex yourself, the steps are as
+follows:
+
+ pdflatex symbols
+ pdflatex symbols
+ makeindex -s gind.ist symbols
+ pdflatex symbols
+ pdflatex symbols
+
+(The repeated runs are for the longtable and makeidx packages to
+stabilize.) symbols.tex tries to be smart about fonts; it omits
+tables of symbols that require (seemingly) unavailable fonts. The
+"Document Characteristics" table at the end of the document lists the
+packages that were unavailable during the build.
+
+The prebuilt versions of the symbol list use primarily Type 1 fonts.
+Type 1 fonts are scalable and should look good at any resolution and
+on any output device. However, some of the fonts used by symbols.tex
+are available only in a METAFONT-generated bitmap format. The
+prebuilt symbol lists utilize 1200 DPI versions of all of the
+bitmapped fonts as 1200 DPI is a reasonably high printer resolution.
+Unfortunately, older (pre-6.0) versions of Adobe Acrobat render
+bitmapped fonts positively dreadfully on screen. Nevertheless, all
+versions of Acrobat manage to *print* bitmapped fonts with no trouble.
+
+The bitmapped fonts used to prepare the PDF versions of the symbol
+list are the following:

+ bbding10.mf bbding10.mf bbm10.mf
