============================================================ eulervm v2.2 The Virtual Euler Math fonts and the LaTeX package eulervm ============================================================ Walter Schmidt 2000-02-02 The well-known Euler math fonts (designed by H.Zapf) are suitable for math typsetting in conjunction with a variety of text fonts which do not provide math character sets of their own. Euler-VM is a set of _virtual_ math fonts based on Euler and CM. This approach has several advantages over immediately using the _real_ Euler fonts: Most noticeably, less TeX ressources are consumed, the quality of various math symbols is improved and a usable \hslash symbol can be provided. The fonts are accompanied by a LaTeX package which makes them easy to use, particularly in conjunction with Type1 PostScript text fonts. Installation ------------ * Run the installation script eulervm.ins through LaTeX. * Move the resulting .sty and .fd files to a directory where TeX searches for input files; in a TDS compliant system this should be: texmf/tex/latex/eulervm In case you have properly set up your docstrip program, and the above directory exists already, this is done automagically! * Move all files from tfm to a directory where TeX searches for font metrics. In a TDS compliant system this should be: texmf/fonts/tfm/public/eulervm * Move all files from vf to a directory where dvips searches for virtual fonts. In a TDS compliant system this should be: texmf/fonts/vf/public/eulervm * Run the file eulervm.dtx through LaTeX, this will create the documentation. Move the resulting DVI (PS, PDF) file to a suitable place. In a TDS compliant TeX system this should be: texmf/doc/latex/eulervm The fontinst sources -------------------- The directory fontinst contains the sources of the virtual fonts, including a `makefile'. You need these files only in case you want to rebuild or modify the fonts. The following .pl's are required in addition to the supplied files: cmbsy10.pl cmmi10.pl cmr5.pl eufb5.pl eurb7.pl cmbsy5.pl cmmi5.pl cmr7.pl eufb7.pl eurm10.pl cmbsy7.pl cmmi7.pl cmsy10.pl eufm10.pl eurm5.pl cmbx10.pl cmmib10.pl cmsy5.pl eufm5.pl eurm7.pl cmbx5.pl cmmib5.pl cmsy7.pl eufm7.pl eusb10.pl cmbx7.pl cmmib7.pl euex10.pl eurb10.pl eusb5.pl cmex10.pl cmr10.pl eufb10.pl eurb5.pl eusb7.pl eusm10.pl eusm5.pl eusm7.pl History ------- 2000-01-19, v2.1 first public distribution 2000-02-02, v2.2 bug fixes: use Euler script for \mathcal, instead of CM-Calligraphic; missing boldface symbols added; documentation update. -- finis
