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 83 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 +a set of prebuilt versions of the symbol list in a variety of formats +and paper sizes. However, if you'd like to build symbols.tex +yourself, the steps are as follows: + + latex symbols + latex symbols + makeindex -s gind.ist symbols + latex symbols + latex symbols + dvips symbols.dvi -o symbols.ps + +(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 primarily use 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: + + ar10.mf ar9.mf ark10.mf ark10.mf + bbding10.mf bbding10.mf bbm10.mf bbm9.mf + bbmss10.mf bbmtt10.mf bbold10.mf bbold9.mf + cmph10.mf cmphi10.mf dingbat.mf dingbat.mf + fcr10.mf fcr9.mf feymr10.mf feymr10.mf + fulmr10.mf fulmr9.mf ifclk10.mf ifclk10.mf + ifgeo10.mf ifgeo10.mf ifsym10.mf ifsym10.mf + ifwea10.mf ifwea10.mf matha10.mf matha9.mf + mathb10.mf mathb9.mf mathx10.mf mathx10.mf + mbb10.mf mbb9.mf skak10.mf skakf10.mf + skakf10.mf skull.mf skull.mf trsy10.mf + trsy10.mf ulsy10.mf vnr10.mf vnr9.mf + wnr10.mf wnr9.mf wsuipa10.mf wsuipa9.mf + yhcmex10.mf + +For completeness, these are the scalable fonts used in the PDF +versions of the symbol list: + + arrow.pfb cmbsy10.pfb cmbsy10.pfb cmbx10.pfb + cmbx12.pfb cmbx7.pfb cmbx9.pfb cmcsc10.pfb + cmmi10.pfb cmmi12.pfb cmmi5.pfb cmmi6.pfb + cmmi7.pfb cmmi8.pfb cmmi9.pfb cmmib10.pfb + cmmib5.pfb cmr10.pfb cmr12.pfb cmr17.pfb + cmr5.pfb cmr6.pfb cmr7.pfb cmr8.pfb + cmr9.pfb cmsl12.pfb cmss10.pfb cmss8.pfb + cmss9.pfb cmssi10.pfb cmsy10.pfb cmsy5.pfb + cmsy6.pfb cmsy7.pfb cmsy8.pfb cmsy9.pfb + cmti10.pfb cmti7.pfb cmti9.pfb cmtt10.pfb + cmtt12.pfb cmtt8.pfb cmtt9.pfb cour.pfb + dictsym.pfb dsrom10.pfb dsss10.pfb esint10.pfb + eufm10.pfb eurm10.pfb eusm10.pfb eusm10.pfb + lcircle1.pfb lcirclew.pfb lightbulb10.pfb line10.pfb + logo10.pfb logo9.pfb logosl10.pfb manfnt.pfb + marvosym.pfb msam10.pfb msam10.pfb msam7.pfb + msbm10.pfb msbm10.pfb msym10.pfb musix13.pfb + phaistos.pfb pmhg.pfb proto10.pfb rsfs10.pfb + rtcxr.pfb sfrm0700.pfb sfrm0900.pfb sfrm0900.pfb + sfrm1000.pfb sfrm1000.pfb sfrm1200.pfb sfrm2488.pfb + sfsi1000.pfb stmary10.pfb stmary9.pfb tipa10.pfb + tipa8.pfb tipa9.pfb tipx10.pfb tipx9.pfb + txexa.pfb txmia.pfb txsy.pfb txsyc.pfb + uzcmi8a.pfb vect10.pfb vect9.pfb wasy10.pfb + wasy9.pfb yfrak.pfb ygoth.pfb yswab.pfb + |
