=========================================================== Linotype Minion font pack for LaTeX ============================================================ 2004-04-13 WalterSchmidt w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net This bundle includes all files required to use Linotype's Minion PostScript fonts with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. It does _not_ include the actual Type1 fonts, which are to be purchased from Linotype. See below for the list of all fonts used. 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. Notice that the present support files were created from the version of the Minion fonts, that was provided on version 1.6 of the CD-ROM "Linotype Gold Edition" as of July 2002. They cannot be used with earlier versions of the fonts. 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) Change log ---------- 2004-04-13 mathlmnt.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 lmn.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 mathlmnt.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. 2003-10-28 Virtual mathlmnt 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 mathlmnt.sty provides a bold-cursive math alphabet now. The virtual fonts are unchanged. 2003-08-19 Fixed kerning of Lsmall-Ysmall in the smallcaps. VFs and metrics now made using latest fontinst 1.926. 2003-07-22 A full upright Greek alphabet is now available with mathlmnt.sty and the related virtual math fonts. The text fonts are unchanged 2003-07-08 Improved kerning data for german umlauts (once again ;-) All kerning pairs < 5 units removed. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Linotype, are to be renamed for use with TeX: PostScript Linotype TeX FontName file name file name MinionLT-Regular lte50894.pfb lmnr8a.pfb MinionLT-Italic lte50895.pfb lmnri8a.pfb MinionLT-Bold lte50897.pfb lmnb8a.pfb MinionLT-BoldItalic lte50898.pfb lmnbi8a.pfb MinionLT-DisplayItalic lte50899.pfb lmnrid8a.pfb MinionLT-DisplayRegular lte50900.pfb lmnrd8a.pfb MinionLT-Semibold lte50901.pfb lmns8a.pfb MinionLT-SemiboldItalic lte50902.pfb lmnsi8a.pfb MinionExp-BoldItalic mjbi____.pfb lmnbi8x.pfb MinionExp-Bold mjb_____.pfb lmnb8x.pfb MinionExp-DisplayItalic mjdsi___.pfb lmnrid8x.pfb MinionExp-DisplayRegular mjds____.pfb lmnrd8x.pfb MinionExp-Italic mji_____.pfb lmnri8x.pfb MinionExp-Regular mjrg____.pfb lmnr8x.pfb MinionExp-SemiboldItalic mjsbi___.pfb lmnsi8x.pfb MinionExp-Semibold mjsb____.pfb lmns8x.pfb Minion-Ornaments moor____.pfb lmnrp.pfb Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/linotype/minion of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and copy them to: texmf/fonts/afm/linotype/minion Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive lmn.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive lmn.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 Linotype Minion 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 * VTeX/Free 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 "lmn.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 lmn.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 lmn.map With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation about how to add new map files to the system. Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file lmn.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 "lmn.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... lmn.ali } In case you are still using VTeX/Free 7.x (as opposed to v8.x), copy the .ali file from texmf/fonts/map/vtex to the directory texmf/vtex/config. Using the Linotype Minion fonts with LaTeX ------------------------------------------ See the files minion.txt and mathlmnt.pdf, which reside in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/linotype.
