Improved documentation. Description =========== `Computer Modern Bright' is a family of sans serif fonts for TeX and LaTeX, based on Donald Knuth's CM fonts. It comprises OT1, T1 and TS1 encoded text fonts of various shapes as well as all the fonts necessary for mathematical typesetting, incl. AMS symbols. Additionally this collection provides all the necessary files for using the fonts with LaTeX. Installing the .mf fonts ======================== Skip this section, if you intend to use the CM Bright fonts in Type1 format only! Copy the files from the subdirectory mf/ of this collection to a directory searched by METAFONT. In a TDS compliant file system the suitable place might be: texmf/fonts/source/public/cmbright/ You will need the source files of Knuth's original CM fonts, of the original (roman) AMS fonts, and of J. Knappen's EC fonts, too, in order to generate the bitmaps. Installing the font metrics and the LaTeX interface files ========================================================= Copy the files from the subdirectory tfm/ of this collection to a directory where TeX looks for the font metrics. In a TDS compliant file system the suitable place might be: texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cmbright/ Copy the files from the directory latex/ of this collection to a place where you keep documented LaTeX sources or to a temporary directory. Execute the installation script cmbright.ins by running it through LaTeX in this directory than; this will generate the file cmbright.sty and various .fd files. Move these files to a directory where you keep LaTeX's style files; in a TDS compliant files system the suitable place is texmf/tex/latex/cmbright The latter step is not required if your "docstrip" program has been configured to write directly to the TeX directories, and if the directory tex/latex/cmbright/ exists in your TDS tree before unpacking the files. Run LaTeX on cmbright.dtx to typeset the general documentation and the description of the style file cmbright.sty. Future changes ============== Minor changes and/or bug fixes to the T1/TS1 fonts are still to be expected. All future changes, bug fixes and additions to the `official' EC fonts will be adopted, if appropriate. The Metafont source files will be reorganized. At the moment they contain lots of unnecessary and redundant code. History ======= *** 2000-06-30 *** cmbright v7.1: Bug fix. Loading amsfonts.sty with the option [psamsfonts] would use the `roman' AMS fonts instead of the `Bright' ones. Improved documentation. *** 2000-02-09 *** fonts v1.0f: Fixed all Euro symbols. *** 1999-05-12 *** documentation revisited and reorganized *** 1999-03-28 *** cmbright.sty v6.9: new option [slantedGreek]; *** 1998-12-11 *** cmbright.sty v6.7: Fixed the math font setup, so that \mathbold acts on lowercase greek, too. fonts v1.0e: improved Euro symbol (the metrics remain unchanged!) *** 1998-02-02 *** fd files v7.3: font sizes 29.86 and 35.83 pt suppported *** 1998-01-28 *** Fixed this document: Pointed out that rendering at 300dpi may cause Metafont problems. *** 1998-01-19 *** Fixed cmbright.ins to prevent problems with Unix (teTeX): Do not generate uppercase filenames automatically. cmbright.ins now TDS-enabled. Added oinst.ins for LaTeX < Dec.1996. *** 1997-09-11 *** cmbright.sty v6.6: added \relax after \ProcessOptions, removed spurious spaces in font definitions fd files v7.2: forced \hyphenchar\font45 in OT1 fonts, removed spurious spaces in font definitions included the new installation script, which was erroneously lacking in the previous distribution :-( *** 1997-06-03 *** fixed a bug in the installation script: the fd files are now generated with mixed-case names if necessary (i.e. when running an obsolete LaTeX release on Unix) fonts, v1.0d: corrected height of arithmetic symbols in T1/TS1 fonts; *** 1997-05-26 *** Fonts, v1.0c: changed lowercase hachek accent in order to avoid METAFONT errors occurring with certain MF modes; fixed `root' symbol and big circles in TS1 fonts; corrected rule_width# in semibold fonts, which had been larger than it is in the bx fonts; *** 1997/05/22 *** fd files v7.0: lowercase filenames fonts v1.0b: br17pt.mf fixed (o#, apex_o#) cmbright.sty v6.4: minor fixes enhanced documentation *** 1996/11/20 *** Documentation update only, e-mail address added. *** 1996/07/02 *** cmbright.sty, v6.2: The code for selecting font size and \baselineskip has been basically changed. The default font sizes defined in the class file will no longer be changed. The size macros like \normalsize will no longer be redefined. Same font sizes will always get the same leading: size \baselineskip 8pt 10.00pt 9pt 11.25pt 10pt 12.50pt 11pt 13.70pt 12pt 15.00pt A new option [standard-baselineskips] enables you to suppress the enlarged \baseselineskip values. The commands \textregistered, \pounds, \textsterling and \mathsterling have been made working; they will use the roman text font. font definition files, v6.0: In all .fd files octal numbers have been changed to decimal ones, in order to avoid conflicts with possibly active quote characters. fonts, v1.0: erroneous comments fixed *** 1996/05/02 *** fonts: version 1.0 font definition files: 5.0 LaTeX package `cmbright': 5.0 The first `final' release, including the AMS fonts.
