In particular the letters beta, zeta, theta, + rho and phi have an initial and a different middle-word form. + + Old style numbers (known as lower case numbers as well) are included in + the small caps font. Thus they are accessible with the \textsc or + \scshape command. + + The fonts contain a full set of latin characters with accents that + support properly all latin-based languages (common like German, French + etc and less common like Icelandic). Special ligatures for "northern" + languages like ij and fj etc (try the word fiji or fjord) are also + included and tested to work. + + Kerkis is especially usefull for the creation of pdf files due to the + fact that the fonts are in Type1 format. + + Download + + Download the following zip file: Kerkis_for_LaTeX.zip from + http://myria.math.aegean.gr/software/kerkis/Kerkis_for_LaTeX.html + + Installation + + If you have the previous version of kerkis installed you must first + remove it or overwrite it. To do this or just to install it do the + following steps: + 1. Replace or place the type1 files: locate the old files named k.pfb, + ki.pfb, kb.pfb etc and delete them. Place the new files in the same + place you had the old ones probably in texmf/fonts/type1/kerkis or + in this directory (create it!) if you did not had kerkis before. + 2. Replace or place the afm files: locate the files k.afm, + ki.afm,kb.afm etc and delete them. Place the new afm files in the + same place you had the old ones probably in texmf/fonts/afm/kerkis + or in this directory (create it!) if you did not had kerkis before. + 3. Replace or place the tfm and vf files (k8a.tfm, ek8a.tfm, gk7a.tfm + etc), in texmf/fonts/tfm/kerkis and texmf/fonts/vf/kerkis. + 4. Replace or place the old kerkis.sty, .fd files from the tex + subdirectory of the distribution in texmf/tex/latex/kerkis. + 5. Replace or place the .enc files from the dvips subdirectory of the + distribution in texmf/dvips/base/kerkis (old ones might be in + texmf/dvips/base/). + 6. Place the all html files from the doc subdirectory in + texmf/doc/latex/kerkis. + 7. Place the kerkis.map file in texmf/dvips/base/kerkis. If you had + kerkis before edit the file psfonts.map (found in + texmf/dvips/config and/or texmf/dvips/base) and delete all entries + relating to kerkis. + 8. Run texhash (on unix) or refresh the filename database (in MikTeX). + 9. Find the file updmap.cfg open it in an editor and add the line: Map + kerkis.map + 10. Run updmap (on MikTeX I am not sure how to do this. Alternatively + you may append the contents of the file kerkis.map of the + distribution to psfonts.map after step 7 above, refresh the + filename database (step 8) and skip steps 9 and 10). + 11. Remove all bitmaps you may have from older kerkis instalations + (remove all .pk files in /var/lib/texmf/pk teTeX (on unix) + texmf-var/fonts/pk in TeXLive and localtexmf\fonts\pk in MikTeX. + + You are ready to use the fonts now. Just note the following: + 1. Load the kerkis.sty package after you load the inputenc package with + the iso-8859-7 option + + 2. The -j option of dvips (which is usually the default) may not work + properly with older TeX installations (it works with modern ones). + If you run into such problems with dvips, either turn it off by + issuing dvips -j0 file.dvi or use the bitmap generation utility + gfstopk by issuing dvips -V file.dvi + + Stylistic issues + Kerkis is a Neoclassical font. We believe that its strictly + rationalist axis makes it ideal for scientific typesetting. + Moreover its moderate contrast and apperture makes it perfectly + readable. Its serifs are adnate so that it guides your eyes + smoothly on the line. + Kerkis is a calm and quiet face that does not interfere with the + expression of important ideas in your documents. + The latin part of the Kerkis font is URW Bookman (except some + characters that were missing from Bookman). URW has kindly allowed + us to re-distribute their Bookman inside Kerkis. + + A. Tsolomitis, atsol at aegean dot gr + -- cgit v1.2.3
