============================================================ Lucida Bright/Lucida New Math font pack for LaTeX as of 2003-03-12 ============================================================ Walter Schmidt This set of files includes the TeX fonts metrics, virtual fonts and LaTeX font definition files for Y&Y's Lucida Bright and Lucida New Math fonts. It supports the standard T1 and TS1 font encodings as well as Y&Y's proprietary LY1 encoding. This file set does NOT include: * the actual Type 1 fonts, which are to be purchased from Y&Y, Inc. * the LaTeX macro packages and the related .fd files for the math fonts; they are provided from the CTAN directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/psnfssx/lucidabr/ The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant TeX system such as teTeX, fpTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. The directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of the TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than one such directory tree, the documentation should tell you where to install new files. | | As to VTeX/Free, an alternative set of files is provided | from . It includes | also the ready-made macro packages and comes with very | detailed installation instructions for VTeX. Due to | historical reasons its directory layout is somewhat | different, while the actual .fd, .tfm and .vf files are | the same. | | | This distribution uses standard "Karl-Berry-style" file | names for all font metric (tfm) files. Thus, it can NOT | be used with applications such or Y&Y's plain TeX macros, | where Y&Y's proprietary file names are -- unfortunately | -- hardwired. The required tfm and map files with | Y&Y-style file names are supplied by Y&Y in conjunction | with the Lucida fonts. They can be installed either | alternatively or in addition to the present ones. | Installing the Type 1 font files -------------------------------- You have to choose whether to rename the font files to standard "Karl-Berry-style" names or to leave the file names unchanged. A "makefile" is provided to help you renaming the large number of PFB and AFM font files. Put it into the same directory as the files and run "make PFBs" to rename the .pfb files or "make AFMs" to rename AFM files. Copy the following math fonts into the directory texmf/fonts/type1/bh/lumath of your TeX system: Y&Y file name: standard file name: lbma.pfb hlcra.pfb lbmad.pfb hlcda.pfb lbmd.pfb hlcdm.pfb lbmdi.pfb hlcdim.pfb lbmdo.pfb hlcdima.pfb lbme.pfb hlcrv.pfb lbmi.pfb hlcrim.pfb lbmo.pfb hlcrima.pfb lbmr.pfb hlcrm.pfb lbms.pfb hlcry.pfb lbmsd.pfb hlcdy.pfb Copy the following text fonts into the directory texmf/fonts/type1/bh/lucidabr of your TeX system: Y&Y file name: standard file name: lbtbo.pfb hlcbot8a.pfb lbtb.pfb hlcbt8a.pfb lbl.pfb hlcrf8a.pfb lbc.pfb hlcrie8a.pf lbki.pfb hlcrin8a.pfb lbh.pfb hlcriw8a.pf lbkr.pfb hlcrn8a.pfb lbto.pfb hlcrot8a.pfb lbtr.pfb hlcrt8a.pfb lbd.pfb hlhb8a.pfb lbdsc.pfb hlhbc8a.pfb lbdi.pfb hlhbi8a.pf lbr.pfb hlhr8a.pfb lbrsc.pfb hlhrc8a.pfb lbi.pfb hlhri8a.pfb lbsl.pfb hlhro8a.pf lsd.pfb hlsb8a.pfb lsdi.pfb hlsbi8a.pfb lstbo.pfb hlsbot8a.pfb lstb.pfb hlsbt8a.pfb lsr.pfb hlsr8a.pfb lsi.pfb hlsri8a.pfb lsto.pfb hlsrot8a.pfb lstr.pfb hlsrt8a.pfb lsb.pfb hlsu8a.pfb lsbi.pfb hlsui8a.pfb lfd.pfb hlxb8a.pfb lfdi.pfb hlxbi8a.pfb lfr.pfb hlxr8a.pfb lfi.pfb hlxri8a.pfb With TeX systems other than VTeX, the directory names do NOT actually matter, as long as the .pfb files reside at least below texmf/fonts/type1. With VTeX/Free, however, you must use exactly the directory names as indicated above; otherwise the font map (.ali) files need to be modified. Copy also the related .afm files to the corresponding directories below texmf/fonts/afm/bh, in case your TeX system makes use of .afm files! Unpacking the distribution -------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive lucida.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system. All files will be generated in the appropriate directories then. NB: The .fd files are unpacked to the directory texmf/tex/latex/lucida, as opposed to ../lucidabr. The latter name seems to be more appropriate, but the former name is, unfortunately, widely used. Yet a directory named "lucidabr" may already exist in your TeX system, and you may feel free to move the .fd files there; just make sure that you don't end up with two different sets of .fd files in different directories! Configuring your TeX system --------------------------- The programs of your TeX system need to be configured to use the additional font mapping files for the Lucida Bright and Lucida New Math fonts. The following map files are provided in the distribution: Font map files for dvips and pdfTeX: lucidabr.map for the text fonts, using Y&Y file names lumath.map for the math fonts, using Y&Y file names lucidabr-k.map for the text fonts, using standard names lumath-k.map for the math fonts, using standard names Copy the files you want to use to a suitable directory of your TeX system, most likely texmf/dvips/lucida or texmf/dvips/config. Make sure that there are no other, possibly obsolete, map files with the same names in other directories. Font map files for VTeX: lucidabr.ali for the text fonts, using Y&Y file names lumath.ali for the math fonts, using Y&Y file names lucidabr-k.ali for the text fonts, using standard names lumath-k.ali for the math fonts, using standard names Copy the files you want to use to a suitable directory of your TeX system, most likely texmf/fonts/map/vtex. Make sure that there are no other, possibly obsolete, map files with the same names in other directories. Consult the documentation of your TeX system, how to configure it to actually use these font mapping files! Required version of the TeXBase1 encoding vector ------------------------------------------------ Accessing the Euro and Omega symbols through the TS1 (text companion) encoding requires at least version 2.0pre of the encoding vector 8r.enc. The very latest release is always available as . Using the Lucida fonts with LaTeX --------------------------------- The file texmf/doc/fonts/bh/lucida.txt includes some usage notes and a list of all available font families, series and shapes with their NFSS classification. How this package was created ---------------------------- The font metrics, virtual fonts and .fd files for the T1 and TS1 encodings were created using fontinst v1.914 with several patches. They are based on the AFM files distributed on Y&Y's CD-ROM "Lucida Bright Complete" (1999). The font metrics for the LY1 encoded text fonts and for the math fonts were simply copied from the above-mentioned CD-ROM and renamed to KB-style names. The related .fd files for the text fonts were patched to reflect the changed font names. History ------- 2003-03-12 All typewriter fonts have vertically centered asterisks now; all textcompanion fonts have vertically centered \textaskeriskcented symbols. The Omega symbol \textohm is made available in the textcompanion fonts. The Polish diacritics have been somewhat improved, but are not really satisfying yet. Font mapping files have been moved out of the zip archive, with respect to their changed location in the future TDS 1.0. Some empty and unneeded directories have been removed from the archive lucida.zip. 2003-01-13 There are thorough changes over the previous CTAN distrib: The new file set includes also the metrics for LY1 encoded text fonts. These are the original files from Y&Y, only renamed to Karl-Berry-style names. The related .fd files were changed appropriately. Thus, LY1 can be used easily beside T1/TS1. The LY1 and TS1 encodings make the Euro symbol (\texteuro) accessible, which is present in the current release of the Lucida fonts. With T1/TS1 encoding, the same set of font series and shapes is supported as with Y&Y's original distribution. The previous CTAN distribution, in contrast, included a number of additional series/shapes, which were based on artificially compressed, expanded or slanted fonts and faked smallcaps. Notice that these were never documented! The obsolete OT1 font encoding is no longer supported with the Lucida fonts. T1 encoded smallcaps fonts (hlhrc8t, hlhbc8t) include normal digits now, as expected. Oldstyle digits are still available in the TS1 encoding. == finis
