============================================================ Adobe/Linotype Times SC/OsF font pack as of 2003-08-20 ============================================================ Walter Schmidt This collection includes tfm, vf, fd and map files to use the Adobe Times fonts with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. They constitute an improvement over the Times support files that are shipped with LaTeX as part of the PSNSS bundle, since they support the use of the additional SC and OsF fonts and provide a \texteuro symbol. The required Times SC and OsF Type1 fonts Times-RomanSC Times-BoldSC Times-ItalicOsF Times-BoldItalicOsF are to be purchased from Adobe (package #194) or Linotype. Notice hat installing this collection will not affect compatibility: You can still choose between the Times interface that is provided by PSNFSS and the improved one. Math typesetting is fully supported; you may use the free mathptmx fonts, or the commercial MathTime fonts provided by Y&Y. 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. This bundle _requires_ release 8.2 or later of the PSNFSS system ( = basic PostScript font support, which is part of any LaTeX). What's new? ----------- 2003-08-20 Fixed defective ts1ptmx.fd. 2003-08-14 Fixed fd files for TS1 encoding. Improved smallcaps kerning. Full OT1 support. Package sc4ptm.sty is no longer provided. Bugs and problems ----------------- | | No particular corrections for non-English languages have | been applied to the kerning tables yet. Fixes are still | to be expected; at least wrt/ the German language. | Removing obsolete files ----------------------- In case you have installed any previous release of this collection and are using VTeX/Free 8.x, please delete the file texmf/vtex/config/ptms.ali. now. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 font files, as supplied by Adobe or Linotype, are to be renamed for use with TeX. The names of the original files may vary, so the following table tells the related PostScript font names, too: FontName: Adobe/Linotype: TeX: Times-BoldItalicOsF TIBIO___.PFB -> ptmbij8a.pfb Times-BoldSC TIBSC___.PFB -> ptmbc8a.pfb Times-ItalicOsF TIIO____.PFB -> ptmrij8a.pfb Times-RomanSC TIRSC___.PFB -> ptmrc8a.pfb The .pfb files are to be copied to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/times of your TeX system. The related .afm files should also be renamed accordingly and installed into the directory texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/times Most likely, you need to create these directories first. Installing the support files ---------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive ptms.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the appropriate directories. Updating the filename database ------------------------------ Certain TeX systems require manually updating of a "filename database" after adding of new files. Please, consult the documentation of your TeX system! Configuring your TeX system --------------------------- The required actions depend on the particular TeX system. There are different sets of instructions provided for * teTeX * VTeX/Free 8.x * other TDS-compliant TeX systems Configuring teTeX ----------------- Use the shell script "updmap" to add the font map file named "ptms.map" to the configuration. See the documentation of your particular teTeX version how to use the script. With teTeX 2.0 and above, execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map ptms.map Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file ptms.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a record for this file into each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "ptms.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... ptms.ali } Configuring other TDS-compliant TeX systems ------------------------------------------- Consult the documentation of your TeX system how to make it use the additional font map file ptms.map! In case the documentation of your TeX system does _not_ explain how to install additional map files, the following steps should work in most cases for dvips and pdfTeX. Notice, however, that they do not aptmy to other applications such as the DVI viewer. dvips: Make dvips read the additional font map file ptms.map. This is usually accomplished by adding the line p +ptms.map to the dvips configuration file, most likely texmf/dvips/config/config.ps. With emTeX/TDS additions should go into the "local" configuration file texmf\dvips\config\dvips.ini (or ..\local\dvips.ini). pdfTeX: Make pdfTeX read the additional font map file ptms.map. This is usually accomplished by adding the line map +ptms.map to the pdfTeX configuration file, most likely texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg. Using the improved Times fonts with LaTeX ----------------------------------------- See the file xtimes.txt, which resides in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/adobe now. Legal notice ------------ The Times SC/OsF font pack is made up from the files ptms.zip and ptms.txt.
