The "aspect -ratio" symbol is a ligature among a capital A and a capital R, much as the -\AE command produces a ligature among a capital A and a capital E. The -ligature AR as a means of indicating the "aspect ratio" is meaningful only -in mathematics, so that only the inclined (italic) form is available, -although the METAFONT source statements were written in such a way as to -produce the symbol in any font family, series and shape. - -The .mf files are for the generation of the AR ligature in the same sizes as -the standard math-italic fonts; the ar.sty package (or option in terms of -the old LaTeX209 terminology) is for the necessary definitions. In practice -as a final user you should start your LaTeXe document with: - -\documentclass[...]{book}% or whatever other document class -\usepackage{ar} -... -\begin{document} -... -\end{document} - -If you prefer to use LaTeX in its 209 version or in compatibility mode, you -start with: - -\documentstyle[...,ar]{book}% or whatever other document style -... -\begin{document} -... -\end{document} - -The "aspect ratio" symbol is simply obtained by using the command - -\AR - -indifferently in math mode or in text mode. - -Remember, though, that with true LaTeX209 the \AR command produces a single -sized symbol (by default 10pt), and if you want another size you have to -edit ar.sty and change the string - -at 10pt - -with, say, - -at 12pt - -This is so rudimentary that you'd better start using LaTeXe, where all the -size changes are correctly dealt with by the New Font Selection Scheme -(NFSS) without your intervention. - - -The bundle contains the following files: - ar5.mf - ar6.mf - ar7.mf - ar8.mf - ar9.mf - ar10.mf - ar12.mf - ar.sty - ar.txt - -Move the .mf file somewhere where METAFONT can find them; this depends on -the TeX-METAFONT system you are using, but if you cope with the official -TDS directory scheme, you might place them in - -\texmf\fonts\source\local\ar - -(you should probably create/add the "branch" local\ar). - -Similarly move ar.sty in a directory searched by LaTeX, possibly, with the -official TDS system, in - -\texmf\tex\latex\misc - -If your system requires it (as with MikTeX, for instance) you might choose -to run such an application as - -configure -u - -in order to let the executables know about the files you added and where -they are. - -Depending on the system you are using, at this point you might need to -generate the font .tfm and .pk files, but if you are using a modern system -such as MikTeX, for example, you need not worry any more and you can -directly use the ar.sty package. As soon as the latex executable finds a -reference to \AR, it controls the existance of the suitable .tfm file, and, -should it be missing (not yet generated), it shells out to another -application, maketfm, that produces the necessary file and moves it in the -proper subdirectory. Similarly when you preview and/or print your document, -the accompanying drivers (yap, dvips, etc.) run the application that -produces the .pk files suited for the screen and/or the printer pixel -density. - -If you do not have such modern tools, it is necessary to run METAFONT by -hand or by means of a script or batch or command file in order to produce -the fundamental .tfm files and the pixel files suited to your printer and/or -screen; your scripts should move the .tfm files where they belong, and the -.pk files where your drivers can find them. Please read the relevant -documentation that acompanies your software; it is difficult to give error -free instructions valid for any operating system, any system configuration, -and any software. - - -Happy LaTeXing! - - - |
