Feyn: a Metafont for Feynman diagrams
-------------------------------------
Version 0.3.1.
This describes the font `feyn', which can be used to produce relatively
simple Feynman diagrams within equations in a LaTeX document.
The other Feynman diagram package which exists is Thorsten Ohl's
`feynmf/feynmp' package. That works by creating Metafont or MetaPost
figures using a preprocessor. It's more general than this package,
but is at its best when creating relatively large diagrams, for
figures. In contrast, the present system consists of a
carefully-designed font with which you can write simple diagrams,
within equations or within text, in a size matching the surrounding
text size.
Status
------
The font, and this associated style file, should be regarded as
beta software at present. The propagators and vertices which are
implemented are those which _I_ needed. I'd be delighted to
add more if folk feel they would be useful.
See the package's home page on the web: http://purl.org/nxg/dist/feyn
Installation
------------
Extract the package file from the distribution file using `latex
feyn.ins'. The resulting `feyn.sty' should be installed in the usual
location for style files -- that is, something like
`texmf.local/tex/latex/feyn.sty'. The Metafont source files `*.mf'
should be installed in a directory with a location such as
`texmf.local/fonts/source/feyn/' (on a system which has the command,
`kpsepath mf' will indicate the possibilities here, but these
typically include the current directory). That should be all you need
to do as regards the installation of the fonts -- if your TeX setup is
installed correctly, then the usual font-generation commands (such as
`mktexpk' for example) should work as normal, and they should be
invoked by default when you LaTeX the feyn.dtx file.
You should be able to find generic instructions for installing LaTeX files at
