readme for the xq-package
this style is made for writing about chinese chess. Unfortunately, it has become a real monster, but i did
not find a better way to get what i wanted - which is probably due to the fact, that i never wrote something
like this before - so dont mind me my rather "simple" solution.
xq is under the LaTeX project public license
The package contains:
the style file - xq.sty
basefont - xqbase.mf
hint file needed by xqbase - hints.mf
font files for "normal" sized boards - xqnormal.mf
font files for "large" sized boards - xqlarge.mf
an example file demonstrating the abilities of the style - xqexample.tex
the example file in pdf format for taking a quick look - xqexample.pdf
and finally this readme file - README
On my local tree it works with the files copied to the following places:
/texmf/tex/latex/xq/xq.sty
/texmf/fonts/source/public/xq/xqbase.mf + xqnormal.mf + xqlarge.mf + hints.mf
If problems occur, that the fonts are not loadable, put everything in one folder with the input file and
run latex. That produces the .tfm then copy these to:
/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/xq/xqnormal.tfm + xqlarge.tfm
Problems:
There are small gaps between pieces and boardlines in the diagrams, this is due to the font. You can avoid
this by putting the unit length for the picture in the style file a little smaller. However, i found it
looks better like it is now.
The boards are sometimes set a bit unclean on a pdf output file. I solved the problem by producing a pdf
via dvi and ps. After that procedure i always had a clean output in acroread.
I hope everything works like it should, if not, please let me know...
