The distributed files are: ccfonts.ins installation script cc.fdd documented source of the fd files ccfonts.dtx documented source of the LaTeX package readme the file you are reading now liesmich the german version of this file * WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING ** ============================================================ LaTeX2e (< 6/1997) comes with an installation script named `cmextra.ins' which generates (obsolete) fd files for the Concrete fonts, too. If you have run this script upon installation of your LaTeX system, and if you have requested support for the Concrete fonts, you MUST remove the following files from your computer: OT1ccr.fd T1ccr.fd Within a TDS-compliant file system these files should be found in the directory texmf\tex\latex\base. Installing the files ==================== Copy the files cc.fdd ccfonts.dtx ccfonts.ins to a temporary directory or to a directory where you keep documented LaTeX source files. Run the installation script ccfonts.ins through LaTeX to generate the font definition files and the LaTeX package. Then move all the *.fd and *.sty files to a directory where LaTeX searches for style files. You may generate the documentation of the code, too: Run the files cc.fdd and ccfonts.dtx through LaTeX to generate dvi files from them. Which fonts do I need? ====================== To run the package ccfonts successfully, you will need 1) the Concrete Fonts, from fonts/concrete 2) the Concrete Math Fonts, from fonts/concmath 3) the EC Concrete Fonts, from fonts/ecc The last ones are needed only if you want to use T1 text fonts (the default is still OT1) or TC text companion fonts. The directory names given above are for the CTAN. Using the package ccfonts.sty ============================= Simply say: \usepackage{ccfonts} The font family Concrete will be used as the default font family, both in text and math mode. The Concrete fonts need a larger leading (\baselineskip) than the CM fonts. The ccfonts package automatically cares for that. This is, however, not always approrpriate, e.g. with small colums. In this case you should load the package with the option [standard-baselineskips]: \usepackage[standard-baselineskips]{ccfonts} Thus the leading defined in the document class will be valid. You may switch to T1 (EC) text fonts (this is heavily recommended!) by additionally requesting: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} You may use all the AMS fonts by issuing the command \usepackage{amsfonts} or \usepackage{amssymb} after (!) loading ccfonts. Note that the Concrete variant of the AMS fonts will be used! You may access Concrete text companion symbols by requesting \usepackage{textcomp} and/or \usepackage{mathcomp} Which text font series/shapes are supported? ============================================ family series shape(s) (see below) ccr m n, sl, it, sc ccr c sl (1) (1) This font shape is (at the moment) only available with OT1, i.e. the traditional font encoding. To every font given above (except ccr/c/sl), a corresponding text companion font is available and supported. There is no boldface font series in the Concrete fonts. Two possible substitutions are provided in the fd files: requested font series substitution (see below) bx CM Roman bx (1) sbc CM Sans sbc (2) (1) This is the same default behaviour as with the Concrete support in the current LaTeX base distribution. (2) Say \renewcommand{\bfdefault}{sbc} to get this substitution with the usual commands \textbf and \bfseries. CM Sans sbc (e.g. in headings) blends well with Concrete! (This was the default behaviour with ccfonts.sty v0.9.) Thanks to ... ============= ... Frank Jensen, for letting me copy some ideas from his package beton.sty. Terms of distribution ===================== Redistribution of this collection of files is allowed, provided that it is complete and unchanged. You are, however, NOT ALLOWED to take money for the distribution or use of these files or the fonts generated from them, except for a nominal charge for copying etc. The distribution of changed versions of the files is allowed under the following restrictions: - You rename the file(s) before you make any changes. - You distribute the unchanged version with your file(s). - You acknowledge the origin of the unchanged version in the file(s). - You make sure that the changed versions contain a notice that prevents others to take money for distribution or use of your file(s), i.e. they have to be distributed under the above restrictions. History of changes ================== *** 1997/04/01 v0.95 *** -- extended documentation -- names of fd files changed to lowercase -- added missing support for text companion fonts in the installation script -- changed font substitutions for the missing boldface font series in the fd files -- cleaned up definitions for OMS and OML encoding in the fd files *** 1997/03/20 v0.9 *** first public version Comments, bug reports and suggestions ===================================== ... are welcome and should be addressed to the author: Walter Schmidt Schornbaumstrasse 2 91052 Erlangen Germany e-mail: wschmi@ibm.net %% end of file `readme'
