=========================================================== Bitstream Venentian 301 (Centaur) font pack for LaTeX ============================================================ 2004-07-22 WalterSchmidt w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net This bundle includes all files required to use Bitstreams's "Venetian 301" font family in Type1 format with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. It does _not_ include the actual Type1 fonts, which are to be purchased from Bitstream or Corel. The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. Yet they may not exactly fit your particular TeX system; please, consult its documentation, too! The directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of a TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than one directory tree, its documentation should tell you where to install new files. Change log ---------- 2004-07-22 changed location of font mapping files wrt/ TDS 1 specs Removing obsolete files ----------------------- In case you install this package over the version from 2000-06-29, the directory texmf/tex/latex/bitstrea/centaur/ and the files texmf/doc/latex/bitstrea/centaur.pdf texmf/vtex/config/bur.ali are to be deleted manually. Rationale: The macro files reside in the directory texmf/tex/latex/blg now, the location of the font mapping file for VTeX has been cgangedwrt/ TDS 1.0, and the documentation has been moved to the directory texmf/doc/fonts/bitstrea. Thus, unpacking of the new .zip archiv alone would not overwrite the obsolete files. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Bitstrem or Corel are to be renamed for use with TeX. Bitstream: Corel: TeX: 1095A___.PFB ven301n.pfb -> burr8a.pfb 1096A___.PFB ven301i.pfb -> burri8a.pfb 1097A___.PFB ven301d.pfb -> burd8a.pfb 1098A___.PFB ven301di.pfb -> burdi8a.pfb 1099A___.PFB ven301b.pfb -> burb8a.pfb 1100A___.PFB ven301bi.pfb -> burbi8a.pfb Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/centaur of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and copy them to: texmf/fonts/afm/bitstrea/centaur Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive bur.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive bur.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the appropriate directories. Updating the filename database ------------------------------ Many TeX systems require manual updating of a "filename database" after adding of new files. Please, consult the documentation of your TeX system! Configuring your TeX system --------------------------- | | You need not repeat this step, when updating from a | previous release of this collection! | The present distribution comprises several font map files for the Bitstream Venetian301 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 Venetian301 is "bur.map". Two copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips. Configuring teTeX ----------------- Additional font map files (here bur.map) are installed using the shell script "updmap". With teTeX-2.0 and later (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map bur.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 bur.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting an appropriate record ito each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "bur.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... bur.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 Venetian301 fonts with LaTeX -------------------------------------- See the file centaur.txt, which resides in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/bitstrea. Legal notice ------------ The "Bitstream Venetian 301" font pack for LaTeX "is made up from the files bur.txt and bur.zip.
