=========================================================== "Adobe Minion" font pack for LaTeX ============================================================ 2004-04-13 WalterSchmidt w.a.schmidt(@)gmx.net This bundle includes all files required to use the "Adobe Minion" Type1 fonts with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. It does _not_ include the actual Type1 fonts, which are to be purchased from Adobe. (packages # 143 and 144) Math typesetting is supported in two flavors: First, you may use the free Euler typefaces, wich are available with any decent TeX system. | Alternatively, use the commercial MathTime and MathTime | Plus fonts from Y&Y . | Additional support files to mix Minion with MathTime are | provided in the present collection. After installing of the present collecion, more information can be found in the files texmf/do/fonts/adobe/pmn.txt and ./mathpmnt.pdf 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. | On VTeX, you should not install both Linotype's and | Adobe's Minion fonts simultaneously. Rationale: Part of | the fonts in both collections are identical, and | installing distinct font files with the same internal | FontNames is likely to confuse the PostScript interpreter | (GeX) What's new? ----------- 2004-04-13 mathpmnt.sty, version 2.1: Math alphabet \mathbold removed; please, use \bm (from package bm.sty) instead. 2004-03-14 Changed location of font map file pmn.ali in the distribution; it is now distributed both in dvips/config and in fonts/map/dvips, so as to comply with the future teTeX. Package mathpmnt.sty, new version 2.0a; Bug fix regarding the definitions of the upright Greek characters. 2003-12-01 Virtual fonts for italic smallcaps (font shape "scit") added; they may be useful in conjunction with H.Harders' macro package slantsc.sty. Minor bug fix in the kerning table of the regular smallcaps. 2003-10-18 Virtual mathpmnt fonts fixed: With previous versions, the letters v and w in math mode were taken from Times rather than Minion. 2003-10-17 The package mathpmnt.sty provides a bold-cursive math alphabet now. The documentation (mathpmnt.pdf) has been adapted accordingly. (The previous relase came with a wrong version of this document, anyway.) The virtual fonts are unchanged. 2003-08-19 Fixed kerning of Lsmall-Ysmall in the smallcaps. 2003-07-22 A full upright Greek alphabet is now available with mathpmnt.sty and the related virtual math fonts. The text fonts provide (faked) Euro symbols. All VFs and metrics heve been remade using the latest fontinst version 1.926. 2003-07-08 Improved kerning data for german umlauts (once again ;-) All kerning pairs < 5 units removed. 2003-06-01 Missing files added to ZIP archive. (sorry for the bug :-) 2003-05-29 Improved kerning (e-V, Y-g, Y-s) 2003-05-12 (bug fixing release) Missing tfm and vf files added. Improved kerning of the text fonts. Slightly improved spacing in math mode (mathpmnt.sty). 2003-05-06: Math support added (mathpmnt.sty). Slightly improved kerning data, particularly in the smallcaps fonts. Changed location of the VTeX font mapping file pmn.ali. 2002-06-03: Improved kerning data for the German language. OT1 encoding is no longer supported. ZIP archives reflects TDS structure. 2001-04-07: Minion-Ormaments added Removing absolete files ----------------------- * In case you have installed the 2001-04-07 release of this bundle, please delete the file texmf/doc/latex/adobe/minion.txt and the directories texmf/tex/latex/adobe/minion texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/minion texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/minion before installing the present release. * In case you have installed _any_ previous release and are using VTeX/Free 8.x, please delete the file texmf/vtex/config/pmn.ali. now. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Adobe, are to be renamed for use with TeX: Adobe file name TeX file name PostScript FontName mob_____.pfb pmnb8a.pfb Minion-Bold mobi____.pfb pmnbi8a.pfb Minion-BoldItalic mods____.pfb pmnrd8a.pfb Minion-DisplayRegular modsi___.pfb pmnrid8a.pfb Minion-DisplayItalic moi_____.pfb pmnri8a.pfb Minion-Italic morg____.pfb pmnr8a.pfb Minion-Regular mosb____.pfb pmns8a.pfb Minion-Semibold mosbi___.pfb pmnsi8a.pfb Minion-SemiboldItalic mjb_____.pfb pmnb8x.pfb MinionExp-Bold mjbi____.pfb pmnbi8x.pfb MinionExp-BoldItalic mjds____.pfb pmnrd8x.pfb MinionExp-DisplayRegular mjdsi___.pfb pmnrid8x.pfb MinionExp-DisplayItalic mji_____.pfb pmnri8x.pfb MinionExp-Italic mjrg____.pfb pmnr8x.pfb MinionExp-Regular mjsb____.pfb pmns8x.pfb MinionExp-Semibold mjsbi___.pfb pmnsi8x.pfb MinionExp-SemiboldItalic moor____.pfb pmnrp.pfb Minion-Ornaments Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/minion of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and copy them to: texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/minion Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive pmn.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive pmn.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 --------------------------- | | You need not repeat this step, when updating from a | previous release of this collection! | The present distribution comprises several font map files for the Adobe Minio fonts. You need to configure your TeX system so that these files are actually used. The required steps depend on the particular TeX system. Particular sets of instructions are provided below for the following systems: * teTeX (v2.0 and above) * VTeX/Free (v8.44 and above) With other TeX systems such as MikTeX, consult the related documentation how to install an additional font map file. The name of the map file to be used for Minion is "pmn.map". Two copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips. Configuring teTeX ----------------- Additional font map files (here pmn.map) are installed using the shell script "updmap". With teTeX-2.0 and later (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map pmn.map With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation how to install an additional map file. Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file pmn.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting an appropriate record ito each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "pmn.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... pmn.ali } Using the Adobe Minion fonts with LaTeX --------------------------------------- See the files minion.txt and mathpmnt.pdf, which reside in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/adobe.
