Using Monotype Berling with Latex ================================= This package contains everything you need (apart from the fonts themselves) to use Monotype Berling in your Latex documents. The Truetype version of Monotype Berling contains a larger character set than earlier (Postscript) versions of the same font, including Greek and oldstyle figures. It is available as part of Microsoft's free e-book reader (http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/default.asp; this will install these fonts in your system's fonts folder, typically C:\Windows\fonts\). USING THE FONTS --------------- Using these fonts in your Latex documents is as easy as specifying \usepackage{berling} somewhere in the preamble of your document (but note that they should be used with Pdftex, not with normal Tex; most dvi-drivers don't support Truetype fonts). The package `berling' takes two possible options: - lining Use lining figures - oldstyle Use oldstyle figures (this is the default). The fonts are only available in T1 and TS1 encodings; the `berling' package automatically sets up these encodings for you by including the `fontenc' and `textcomp' packages. The obsolete OT1 encoding, which unfortunately is still Latex's default, is not supported. NFSS CLASSIFICATION ------------------- encodings family series shape(s) -------------------------------------------- T1, TS1 mbrx m, b n, it T1, TS1 mbrj m, b n, it The TS1-encoded fonts are incomplete; many symbols in this encoding are specific to the Computer Modern fonts. The euro symbol (\texteuro), however, is available.
