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. + +Use of the LuxiMono fonts with LaTeX is supported by means of +a macro package: + + \usepackage{luximono} + +makes LaTeX use LuxiMono as the default typewriter family. +The Luxi fonts are much larger than many others, when used +with the same nominal size. This can be fixed by loading +the package luximono with the option [scaled=...]. For +instance, + + \usepackage[scaled=0.9]{luximono} + +loads the LuxiMono fonts, scaled down to 90% of their +"natural" size. Omitting the factor, i.e. + + \usepackage[scaled]{luximomo} + +selects a default scaling of 87%. + +Notice that LuxiMono is supported with T1 (european) and TS1 +(textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue the +commands + + \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} + \usepackage{textcomp} + +in the document preamble. The obsolete OT1 encoding, which +is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_ supported. + + +NFSS CLASSIFICATION + +encodings family series shape(s) FontName(s) +-------------------------------------------------------- +T1, TS1 ul9 m, b n, sl LuxiMono + LuxiMono-Oblique + LuxiMono-Bold + LuxiMono-BoldOblique + +In the TS1 encoding only the characters of the ISO-Adobe 1 +character set plus the Euro (\texteuro) are available. + + +== finis |
