\title{The \Lpack{dictsym} package for \LaTeX}
\author{Walter Schmidt}
\date{version 2.0\,$\beta$ -- 2004-07-26}
\begin{document}
\maketitle\thispagestyle{empty}
The PostScript font `DictSym' (designed by Georg Verweyen) provides a
number of symbols commonly found in dictionaries.
The macro package
\Lpack{dictsym} serves to use of this font with \LaTeX{}. It provides
the following commands to print the symbols of the font:
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
\begin{tabular}{ll@{\qquad}ll}
\dsarchitectural &|\dsarchitectural| & \dsmathematical &|\dsmathematical| \\
\dsbiological &|\dsbiological| & \dsrailways &|\dsrailways| \\
\dschemical &|\dschemical| & \dstechnical &|\dstechnical| \\
\dsagricultural &|\dsagricultural| & \dsmilitary &|\dsmilitary| \\
\dsheraldical &|\dsheraldical| & \dsaeronautical &|\dsaeronautical| \\
\dsjuridical &|\dsjuridical| & \dscommercial &|\dscommercial| \\
\dsliterary &|\dsliterary| & \dsmedical &|\dsmedical| \\
\end{tabular}
By default, the symbols are typeset at the same nominal font size
as the surrounding text. When the package is loaded with the option
\texttt{[scaled=}\m{scale}\texttt{]},
the DictSym font will be scaled by the indicated factor. For instance,
\begin{quote}
|\usepackage[scaled=1.1]{dictsym}|
\end{quote}
will enlarge the symbols by 10\%.
Thus, you can make the `dictionary symbols' match exactly the optical
appearance of the surrounding typeface. The above table shows the
symbols at 150\% of their natural size.
