Only the +fonts are included that are not part of the cm-super bundle +(thus, math and OT1 fonts). + +This package contains the ready Postscript Type1 fonts in PFB format as +used by dvips and pdflatex, as well as a map file and a config file for +dvips. + +Everything I am describing is valid for the current beta version of teTeX. +If you have another distribution you might have to change several things. + +If you want to built the fonts on your own look at the end of this document. + +The font names and the file names begin with 'hf' for 'harders font'. This +has been done for not getting mixed up with the commercial cmbright fonts by +MicroPress. This has been suggested by Walter Schmidt, the creator of +the cmbright fonts. + +The outlines were generated using mftrace and pfaedit. The only changes I +have done were the change of the font names and the other global font flags. +I have not done any hinting by hand. Thus the fonts are far from perfect. +But at least they increase quality when using acrobat reader on the screen. + +Licence is LPPL. No Warrancy. + +Many thanks +- to Walter Schmidt (was@vr-web.de) + for the permission to upload these fonts to CTAN and the help with the + arithmetic overflow. +- to Felix Neubauer (felix.neubauer@gmx.net) + who suggested a workaround for some fonts that did an arithmetic + overflow and found the problem that UniqueID was zero. + Additionally, he has tested the fonts. +- to Ralf Stubner (ralf.stubner@physik.uni-erlangen.de) + who told me how to create the needed encoding files and helped me with + pfaedit. Ralf has also tested the fonts. + +Manual installation +------------------- + +Put the pfb files (./pfb/*.pfb) into the TeX search path for fonts +(e.g. $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/type1/public/hfbright/) and the dvips +configuration files (./dvips/*) into $TEXMFLOCAL/dvips/config. + +You can also add the contents of cmbright.map to psfonts.map. For the current +teTeX beta, this is done by adding + Map hfbright.map +to the file updmap.cfg which normally is in $TEXMFMAIN/web2c/. +Then update the font maps by calling 'updmap'. + + +Automatic installation (and generation) +--------------------------------------- + +Just execute ./install.sh. +If some files are missing, generate.sh is called before installation. +Please have a look into install.sh to be sure the right directories etc. +are used. + + +Generation of the Type 1 fonts +------------------------------ + +Just call ./generate.sh. The pfa files are written into ./pfa/, the pfb +files into ./pfb/. hfbright.map and config.hfbright are written into +./dvips/. + + + +To Do +----- + +I have ordered UniqueIDs from Adobe. I have to wait until they arrive and +then apply them to the fonts. This should not cause any trouble. + + +2002-11-22 +Harald Harders +h.harders@tu-bs.de -- cgit v1.2.3
