============================================================ Linotype Melior font pack as of 2004-01-29 ============================================================ Walter Schmidt w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net This collection includes tfm, vf, fd and map files to use Linotypes "Melior" 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. 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. Installing the Melior Type1 fonts --------------------------------- The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Linotype, are to be renamed for use with TeX: FontName: Linotype: TeX: MeliorLT lte50062.pfb -> lmlr8a.pfb MeliorLT-Italic lte50063.pfb -> lmlri8a.pfb MeliorLT-Bold lte50064.pfb -> lmlb8a.pfb MeliorLT-BoldItalic lte50065.pfb -> lmlbi8a.pfb Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/linotype/melior/ of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and put them into texmf/fonts/afm/linotype/melior/. Installing the support files ---------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive lml.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 present distribution comprises several font map files for the 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 Melior is "lml.map". Two copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips. Configuring teTeX: Use the shell script "updmap" to add the font map file named "lml.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 lml.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 lml.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 "lml.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... lml.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 Melior fonts with LaTeX --------------------------------- See the file melior.txt, which should now reside in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/linotype/. Legal notice ------------ The Linotype Melior font pack is made up from the files lml.txt and lml.zip.
