They are original designs by Kris +Holmes and Charles Bigelow from Bigelow and Holmes Inc., who +developed the Luxi typeface designs in Ikarus digital +format. URW++ Design and Development GmbH converted the +Ikarus format fonts to TrueType and Type 1 font programs and +implemented the grid-fitting "hints" and kerning tables in +the Luxi fonts. + +The Luxi fonts include the Euro symbol. Accessing it +through the textcompanion encoding and the command \texteuro +needs at least version 9 of the PSNFSS system. + +The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant +TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. Yet they +may not exactly fit your particular TeX system; please, +consult its documentation, too! The directory name "texmf" +refers to the root directory of a TDS directory tree. In +case your TeX systems has more than one directory tree, its +documentation should tell you where to install new files. + + +What's new? +----------- +2004-01-26 + Package luximono.sty: minor bug fix, regarding the + implementation of the package option "scaled=...". + Changed location of the font map file ul9.ali for VTeX; + the file resides now in the directory fonts/map/vtex, + rather than vtex/config, so as to comply with TDS 1.0 + + +2003-03-02 + fixed the asterisk characters, so that they are vertically + centered now + + +Installing the Type1 font files +------------------------------- +The Type1 font files + + ul9b8a.pfb + ul9bo8a.pfb + ul9r8a.pfb + ul9ro8a.pfb + +are to be copied to the directory + + texmf/fonts/type1/public/luxi + +of your TeX system, and the related .afm files should go +into + + texmf/fonts/afm/public/luxi + +Most likely, you will have to create these directories +first. + + +Installing the TeX support files from the archive ul9.zip +--------------------------------------------------------- +Unpack the ZIP archive ul9.zip in the directory "texmf" of +your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the +appropriate directories. + + +Updating the filename database +------------------------------ +Many TeX systems require manual updating of a "filename +database" after adding of new files. Please, consult the +documentation of your TeX system! + + +Configuring your TeX system +--------------------------- +The following steps vary, according to your TeX system. +There are different sets of instructions provided for + + * teTeX + * VTeX/Free, + * other TDS-compliant TeX systems + + +Configuring teTeX +----------------- +Use the shell script "updmap" to add the font map file named +"ul9.map" to the configuration. See the documentation of +your particular teTeX version how to use the script. + + +Configuring VTeX/Free (v8.00 and later) +--------------------------------------- +Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file +ul9.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a record +for ul9.ali into each of the configuration files + + texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm +and + texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm + +The name "ul9.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of +the above-mentioned files: + +TYPE1 { + ... + ul9.ali + } + + +Configuring other TDS-compliant TeX systems +------------------------------------------- +After unpacking of the archive file ul9.zip, a font map file +ul9.map for the LuxiMono fonts resides in the directory +texmf/dvips/config. It works for both dvips and pdfTeX. +| +| Consult the documentation of your TeX system how to make +| it use this additional font map file! +| + +If the documentation of your TeX system does _not_ explain +how to install additional map files, the following steps +should work in most cases for dvips and pdfTeX. + +dvips: +Make dvips read the additional font map file ul9.map. This +is usually accomplished by adding the line + +p +ul9.map + +to the dvips configuration file. With teTeX, fpTeX or +MikTeX this is texmf/dvips/config/config.ps; with emTeX/TDS +additions should go into the "local" configuration file +texmf\dvips\config\dvips.ini (or ..\local\dvips.ini). + +pdfTeX: +Make pdfTeX read the additional font map file ul9.map. This +is usually accomplished by adding the line + +map +ul9.map + +to the pdfTeX configuration file. With teTeX, fpTeX or +MikTeX this is texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg. + +Note that configuring other programs such as dvipdfm or the +DVI viewer is _not_ explained here; the required actions +vary too much among the TeX systems. + + +Using the LuxiMono fonts with LaTeX +----------------------------------- +See the file luximono.txt, which resides in the directory +texmf/doc/fonts/luxi. + + +Legal notice +------------ +The license terms for the Luxi fonts are included in +the file LICENSE.
