If you are using dvips, then the .pk files will be +produced automatically on demand; if not, then you will need to +(1) Convert the .gf files with the command gftopk skt8.600gf +(the number `600' depends upon your printer resolution and the +magnification) to produce skt8.pk which must be copied to the +appropriate subdirectory. +(2) Repeat this process with all eight fonts. +(3) For the six skt*10.mf files the whole process needs +to be repeated with the mag value in the mf command set +to 1.095, 1.2, 1.44, 1.728, 2.074 and 2.488. + +The mf_inputs path needs to point to the files with a .mf extension; +the tex_fonts path should point to the .tfm files; the tex_inputs +path should point to the files skt.sty ot1skt.fd. The tex_exe +(or other appropriate) path should point to skt.exe. + +To test the setup on the documentation file: first run the pre-processor +skt sktdoc and then latex sktdoc. The files ifthen.sty, relsize.sty, +and multicol.sty are also required. If you are not using dvips and +pstricks then first comment out line 12 in sktdoc.skt. + +The files that you should have are: + +readme.txt This file. +skt.sty Style file (LaTeX2e) for the skt-series fonts. +ot1skt.fd Font descriptor file for the skt-series fonts. +skt.c Pre-processor source program in ANSI C. +sktdoc.skt Source file of documentation and samples. +sktdoc.ps Print file of documentation and samples. +sktdefs.mf Common definitions of pens, macros, etc. for skt-series fonts. +sktchars.mf Common character source file for skt-series fonts. +sktligs.mf Ligature codes (in fact access codes for non-printing + ASCII code characters) for skt-series fonts. +skt8.mf Metafont source file for skt font at 8pt upright. +skt9.mf Metafont source file for skt font at 9pt upright. +skt10.mf Metafont source file for skt font at 10pt upright. +sktb10.mf Metafont source file for skt font at 10pt upright bold. +sktf10.mf Metafont source file for skt font at 10pt upright feint. +skts10.mf Metafont source file for skt font at 10pt slanted. +sktbs10.mf Metafont source file for skt font at 10pt bold slant. +sktfs10.mf Metafont source file for skt font at 10pt feint slant. +skt*.tfm Eight .tfm font files for above. +sktbugxx.txt There may be a series of such files, where `xx' is a + two-digit number, listing reported bugs and + (possibly) fixes or patches. + +Suggestions and bug reports to: +wikner@nacdh4.nac.ac.za +02 January 2002. + +P.S. +I shall be retiring from the world at the end of March 2002, +and shall not be available on the Net. + |
