============================================================ Linotype Aldus font pack for LaTeX ============================================================ 2003-07-14 WalterSchmidt w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net This bundle includes all files required to use Linotype's Aldus 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. 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 Aldus 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) Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Linotype, are to be renamed for use with TeX: FontName: Linotype: TeX: AldusLT-Roman lte52121.pfb -> lasr8a.pfb AldusLT-Italic lte52122.pfb -> lasri8a.pfb Aldus-ItalicOsF afiof___.pfb -> lasrij8a.pfb Aldus-RomanSC afrsc___.pfb -> lasrc8a.pfb Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/linotype/aldus of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and copy them to: texmf/fonts/afm/linotype/aldus Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive las.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive las.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 Aldus 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 Aldus is "las.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 las.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 las.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 las.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 "las.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... las.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 Aldus fonts with LaTeX -------------------------------------- See the file aldus.txt, which resides in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/linotype Legal notice ------------ The bundle "Linotype Aldus for LaTeX "is made up from the files las.txt and las.zip.
