\section{Introduction}
This note describes an interesting exercise in using
\METAFONT\ to produce new typefaces by combining letters
from standard fonts. As we know, the \APL\ language [6] of
Kenneth Iverson has never gained the popularity it deserves
which is largely due to its strange symbol set. Indeed,
true \APL\ users require a special keyboard to support
the nonstandard but powerful operator symbols. Moreover,
putting \APL\ into print has always been a problem, and
modern low cost computerized typesetting programs do
not usually support \APL\ style. \TeX\ can be used to
produce high quality printouts for technical text,
and it would be desirable to have a possibility to
mix in \APL\ code. The companion program of
\TeX ---\METAFONT ---provides a full means for a simple generation
of an \APL\ font for \TeX, and the purpose of this
note is to inform other people about the result we
have obtained at the University of Helsinki. Let us note
that there are at least three other \APL\ fonts available
for small computer environments. Indeed, the newsletter
\APL\ {\it Quote Quad\/}\footnote{*}{{\ninepoint Newsletter of SIGAPL,
the Special Interest Group for \APL. {\it Quote Quad\/} has the same
status in the world of \APL\ as TUGboat in \TeX{nical} world.}}
is produced by using TROFF, and there
exists a Postscript \APL\ font for the Apple Laserwriter [5] and
another font for the TEXT typesetting system [2].

Consider the following usual kind of function definition in \APL:
\choosett{apl}
\begintt
        @DLS_SUMSQ N;I
  [1]   S_I_0
  [2]   @GO(N<I_I+1)/0
  [3]   S_S+I*2
  [4]   @GO2
  [5]   @DL
\endtt
\choosett{sltt}%       %@@@@
How to write in this code, providing that we have a suitable
font? The \APL\ font should represent the screen
output style of \APL\ code and obey the same laws of spacing.
Hence, it should be a typewriter-like typeface with fixed
spacing; the same approach for representing \TeX\ input was
adopted by Knuth in the {\TeX}book.
The {\it verbatim\/} macros have often been used for importing
screen or paper outputs into \TeX\ documents; some people
misuse them for an easy construction of tables etc. In
{\sltt verbatim}, the typewriter mode is entered by the control
sequence @\begintt@---that mode is ended by
@\endtt@. In the same vein, we could enter
the \APL\ mode by the control sequence @\beginapl@,
and to end it by @\endapl@. However, it is more convenient to
augment {\sltt verbatim\/} with {\sltt aplstyle\/} so that
it can be used with several different typewriter-like fonts.
(The {\it verbatim\/} macros can be found in the {\TeX}book,
p.\ 421.)  Since {\sltt\char'100\/}
(the {\it at sign}) is used as the escape character inside {\it verbatim\/}
mode, our \TeX\ code might (and in fact does) look as follows:
\def\endsym{\char'134{endtt}}   % just for using \endtt after \begintt
                                % without actually ending anything
\choosett{tentt}
\begintt
           \choosett{apl}
           \begintt

\endtt
\choosett{sltt}%                      %@@@@
The control sequences @\DL@ and @\GO@ are not chosen arbitrarily
but follow the conventions used in Digital's VAX \APL\ interpreter [1].
As terminals usually do not support the \APL\ character set, an
alternative representation by two-letter mnemonics is provided by the
interpreter. For the most part we have adopted these mnemonics also for our
\APL\ font. Hence, as an additional bonus the user should find it
easy to combine his or her \APL\ code with normal \TeX\ code. Thus,
it is not necessary for a VAX \APL\ user to retype the definitions
of \APL\ functions in order to be able to use them in documents.
He or she only has to replace every {\it period\/} used as an
escape character in Digital's interpreter, by {\sltt\char'100}.
(There is another syntactical difference between Digital's interpreter
and \TeX's {\it verbatim\/} mode: for the interpreter
the third ordinary character after an escape character
does no longer belong to the escape sequence while \TeX\ admits
arbitrarily long control sequences.  We take care of this
by changing certain {\it catcodes\/} temporarily.)

\section{The \APL\ font table}
\APL\ symbols are divided into two classes: the primitive symbols
and those obtained by overstriking two primitive ones. The overstrikes
are traditionally obtained by typing the first symbol, by using
backspace to go back one space and then typing the second symbol
{\sl over\/} the first one. However, in modern \APL\ keyboards these
double symbols are assigned to non-alphanumeric keys (for example,
to keys under the {\sltt ALT\/} key). We decided to include only the
primitive \APL\ symbols in the font table; this enabled us to include
also the lower-case letters, following modern conventions. (The original
\APL\ letters were restricted to capitals.) The comment symbol
@"@ is the only exception since it is keyed in as a double quote.
Our font is a fixed size typeface with strongly slanted letters.
Moreover, we have followed the style of best books in \APL:
all symbols should be drawn with a thin pen to get a touch of
a typewriter. (This point is clearly witnessed, for example, in [5].)
The places of some symbols are determined by the \TeX\ font tables.
For example, the hash sign {\sltt\char'043\/} is used for the
multiplication sign in VAX \APL, and hence the corresponding symbol
has the the same octal code (043) as the hash sign in \TeX.
The font table has the following form:          %@@@@

\section{The necessary \METAFONT\ files}
The whole process started when the first author had a paper
containing \APL\ symbols and was disappointed with the
quality of the symbols available on the typewriter. Moreover,
the secretary who had typed the text had forgot a couple
of lines in the middle of the paper, and the correction of
such mistakes seemed to be very clumsy in comparison with
modern typesetting. Then he decided (together with the second
author) to remedy the situation by creating an \APL\ font for
\TeX\ he was using for other kinds of document. Many of the
\APL\ symbols needed were contained in standard fonts; for example,
{\it diamond\/} can be found in {\it cmsy10}. For alphanumeric
characters one could use {\it cmsltt10}. The simplest try for
a solution of the problem would be to write a list of definitions
that pick symbols from appropriate fonts. However, this brute force
method does not really work since these symbols come from
very different typefaces and, moreover, do not provide a fixed
typeface. Hence, we decided to find an easy way of producing
an \APL\ font by using \METAFONT.

As the starting point, we took the font {\it cmtex10}. This is a
fixed typeface for an extended typewriter-like font including
some Greek characters and mathematical symbols. The \METAFONT\ file
for this font, {\sltt cmtex10.mf\/} contains (as usual) a preamble
that assigns values to several global variables, and the command
{\sltt generate textset;\/}. Now the {\sl driver\/} file {\sltt textset.mf\/} %@@@@
contains the commands {\sltt mode\_setup;font\_setup;\/}            %@@@@
(establishing the values of the variables for this font) and several
input files from which the \METAFONT\ descriptions of the characters are to
be found. Since some of these files treat the characters by name and
since some of the definitions have to be changed (and some dropped),
we considered it advisable to discard the driver file and to collect
the separate \METAFONT\ files, together with the preamble, to form a
large single file {\sltt cmapl10.mf}. The {\sltt .mf\/} character files
needed for {\sltt cmapl10.mf\/} are the following:
%
%
$$\vbox{\halign{{\sltt#}\hfil && \quad #\hfil\cr
%
                      greekl  &  ({\it rho, omega, alpha}) \cr
                      italms  &  ({\it iota})              \cr
                      romand  &  (roman digits)            \cr
                      punct   &  (punctuation symbols)     \cr
                      romanp  &                            \cr
                      symbol  &  (math symbols)            \cr
                      sym     &                            \cr
                      romanu  &  (uppercase letters)       \cr
                      romanl  &  (lowercase letters)       \cr

\section{Definitions}
\choosett{tentt}%
The first thing to do is to put {\sltt font\_identifier:="CMAPL";\/}    %@@@@
and to set {\sltt slant:=0;\/} in the preamble. Many definitions can    %@@@@
be copied verbatim from the {\sltt .mf\/} files, but some of them
need changes. The Greek {\it iota}, as given in {\sltt greekl.mf},
is strange to \APL\ style; we use instead the {\it dotless i\/}
from {\sltt italms.mf}. Moreover, we used the symbol {\it elt\/}
(element) from {\sltt sym.mf\/} instead of the Greek {\it epsilon}.
The symbols {\it del\/} and {\it delta\/} are
taken from {\sltt symbol.mf\/} (where their names are {\it large triangle\/}
and {\it large inverted triangle}). However, they are too sturdy
and too short to be placed in a proper \APL\ font. Further, {\it del\/}
must be lifted up so that it is vertically aligned with other
symbols. The modifications are very easy to do, and the modified %@@@@ , by ,and
definition is shown below.
%
%
\choosett{tentt}
\begintt
         % sqrt48 was changed to 6.25 since the del symbol in APL has
         % a narrower top than the original reversed triangle symbol
         % rule.nib has been changed to light_rule.nib
         % bot y3=-d-o has been changed to bot y3=0
         % top y1=h-d has been changed to top y1=h+2o
         @null
         cmchar "Del";
         beginchar(oct"002",16u#,asc_height#,0);
         adjust_fit(0,0); pickup light_rule.nib;
         top y1=h+2o; y2=y1; bot y3=0;
         .5[x1,x2]=x3=good.x .5w; w:=r:=2x3; lft x1=hround(.5w-u*6.25);
         draw z1--z2--z3--cycle;    % stroke
         labels(1,2,3); endchar;
\endtt
As can be seen from this example, pen strokes were made thinner.
Actually only one symbol was directly missing---this is the {\it quad
box}. However, it can be obtained from the above by adding one control point:
\begintt
         cmchar "Quad";
         beginchar(oct"001",16u#,body_height#,0);
         adjust_fit(0,0); pickup light_rule.nib;
         bot y1=0; y2=y1; top y3=h+2o; y4=y3;
         .5[x1,x2]=x5=good.x .5w; w:=r:=2x5;
         % The quad box is slightly wider than Del
         lft x1=hround(.5w-u*7);
         x3=x1; x4=x2;
         draw z1--z2--z4--z3--cycle;    % box
         labels(1,2,3,4); endchar;
\endtt
After taking care of special symbols, the letters can be treated
by finding a suitable value for {\it tilt ratio\/} (slant). Indeed,
\APL\ letters are {\sl very\/} slanted. We suggest the value
1/5 for this font (the font {\it cmsl10\/} uses 1/6). One should
remember to give the command {\sltt font\_setup;\/} after setting {\sltt slant\/} %@@@@
to 1/5.
\choosett{sltt}%               %@@@@
Finally, one has to make the {\it verbatim\/} macros
suitable for \APL\ style. Since {\it verbatim\/} might be
used for several different fonts in one document, we decided
to include a control sequence @\choosett@.
\choosett{tentt}
\begintt
        \def\ifundefined#1{\expandafter\ifx\csname#1\endcsname\relax}
        \newif\ifapl         \def\aplname{apl}
        \outer\def\choosett#1{\ifundefined{#1}%
                \message{Undefined font(?), replaced with cmtt10}%
                \let\tt=\tentt
                   \else
                \def\tt{\expandafter\csname#1\endcsname}%
                \def\ttname{#1}%
                \ifx\ttname\aplname\apltrue\else\aplfalse\fi\fi}
\endtt
\choosett{sltt}%
(The control sequence @\ifundefined@ comes from the \TeX{book}, p.\ 308.)
With the help of @\choosett@, the standard @verbatim@ macros can be used
with the single change that @\ifapl@, then the @\catcode@ of @A@,\dots,@Z@
is @\other@ (12) instead of 11 for {\it letter}.  Under \APL\ mode \TeX\
will then recognize our single-letter control sequences defined, e.g., by
\choosett{tentt}
\begintt
         \def\A#1{\if#1B{\apl\char'174}\else          % stile
                  \if#1M{\apl\char'004}\fi\fi}        % alpha .
\endtt
\choosett{sltt}%
Unfortunately, we have redefined the standard @\L@, @\O@, @\P@ and @\S@.

The \APL\ symbols not in the font table are obtained---as usual---by
overstriking two table symbols.
\choosett{tentt}%
\begintt
   \newbox\firstchar\newskip\charwidth
   \def\overstrike#1#2{\setbox\firstchar=\hbox{#1}\charwidth=\wd\firstchar
                       #1\hskip-\charwidth#2}
\endtt
\choosett{apl}%
For example, the {\it grade up\/} and {\it grade down\/} symbols
\G U\ and \G D\ are obtained by striking the {\it stile\/} symbol
@|@ over \L D\ and \D L, respectively.
\choosett{tentt}%
\begintt
         \def\G#1{\if#1U{\overstrike{\LD}{\AB}}\else      % grade up
                  \if#1D{\overstrike{\DL}{\AB}}\fi\fi}    % grade down
\endtt
Now let us take another example on \APL. The input
\begintt
     \choosett{apl}       % in case some other choice is in force
     \setbox0=\vbox{\hsize=5.7truein
     \begintt
         [0]   Z_A1 PROD A2;A;I;V
         [1]   "RETURNS THE PRODUCT OF THE POLYNOMIALS A1 AND A2
         [2]   "THE ARGUMENTS ARE GIVEN AS COEFFICIENT ARRAYS
         [3]   I_@@ROA1
         [4]   Z_A1@@SO.#A2
         [5]   LOOP:V_@@ROZ @@DM V[(@@ROI)+1]_V[1]
         [6]   V_@@ROZ_Z,[(@@ROI)+1]V@@RO0
         [7]   A_(1+-@@IOV[1])@@SO.#((@@NT(@@IO@@ROV)@@EP(1,(@@ROI)+1))/V)@@RO1
         [8]   Z_+/[1]A@@RV[(@@ROI)+1]Z
         [9]   ((@@RO@@ROZ)>@@ROI)/LOOP
     @endsym
                    }
     $$\boxit{\boxit{\box0}}$$
     \centerline{\sevenrm An APL function for polynomial multiplication}
\endtt
%
gives the output
%
\choosett{apl}

\section{User extension}
A modern user of a computerized typesetting facility will probably
ask if it is possible to extend or modify fonts coming with the
system. As with [5], where the font has an {\it analytic\/} and a
{\it bitmapped\/} variant, we can distinguish between the need of modifying
{\it cmapl10\/} via \METAFONT\ and modification of the pixel files.
\APL\ symbols of various ``blackness'' or ``thickness'' may be desirable.
Indeed, in [3] the user input is written with boldface \APL\ symbols
and the answers from the interpreter with thin ones. Furthermore,
certain screen previewers use specific small size pixel files, and
do not support the \APL\ font.

The modification of the font by changing the values of some global
variables in the preamble of the \METAFONT\ file is easy and can be
done by following how it is done in standard fonts such as
{\it cmbx10\/} etc. This is the recommended way, too. However, if
\METAFONT\ is not available, then one must attack the pixel files.
For direct hand editing, we use a program that converts a pixel
file into a (bitmapped) text file acceptable to any standard screen
editor, and another program reading the edited file back into
a \TeX\ pixel file. Scaling fonts down to a desired size can be
done in a similar (but automatic) manner; this facility is needed
by a previewer (written by the first author) not using runtime
scaling.
