Installation instruction for cyrillic fonts in ALT encoding
      -----------------------------------------------------------

This file describes how to install cyrillic fonts on a TeX/LaTeX system.
Special attention is given to installation for EmTeX
(MSDOS-OS/2 implementation of TeX).

The CMCYRALT font distribution presented here was uploaded
to CTAN by Vadim V. Zhytnikov (vvzhy@phy.ncu.edu.tw)
on behalf of Alexander Harin (harin@lourie.und.ac.za).

I added this INSTALL file to make instllation easier for users
that don't have a lot of TeX/LaTeX experience.
For users of EmTeX I supply cyrillic font library cmcyr_lj.fli,
so they do not have to learn how to use MetaFont/MfJob.


What is required
================

1. TeX ver 3.0 or later, version 3.1415 is preferable.

MSDOS-OS/2 users:
You can get EmTeX 3.0 from CTAN directory /systems/msdos/emtex
(CTAN is Common TeX Archive Network, its site in the US
is ftp.shsu.edu:/tex-archive).
You also can get beta release of EmTeX 3.1415
from /systems/msdos/emtex/betatest.

UNIX users:
You probably already have newest version of TeX on your system.
Otherwise take a look at /systems/unix of CTAN.


2. Cyrillic style files for LaTeX2e or LaTeX 2.09.
You can get LaTeX2e files from /macros/latex/contrib/other/cmcyralt
or from ftp.cs.umd.edu:/pub/cyrillic/cmcyralt/cmcyr2e.zip.
LaTeX 2.09 (this version of LaTeX is now considered obsolete)
files can be obtained from /macros/latex209/contrib.


How to unpack and install
=========================

1. Create directory cmcyrfnt and unpack the zip file into it
with preserving directory structure.

For example, in MSDOS:

pkunzip -d cmcyrfnt.zip

1a. MSDOS users only: In this distribution end-of-line
character for text files is LF.
To convert text files to MSDOS convention (end-of-line is
CR-LF), type "convers.exe +r *.*" in directory cmcyrfnt
and all its text subdirectories (that is, all subdirectories
except VF and TFM). Convers.exe is supplied together with
this distribution.


2. Add TFM subdirectory to TFM (font metrics) path variable.

For example, in MSDOS:

set tfm=d:\emtex\tfm;d:\cmcyrfnt\tfm

Now if LaTeX cmcyr package is installed, you can use LaTeX
to produce *.dvi files. However, to print or view *.dvi files,
you have to do more.


3. Add VF subdirectory to virtual font path.

For example, if you are using dviscr to view *.dvi files
and dvihplj to print them, you have to change the /pv line
in file lj.cnf to:

/pv=d:\cmcyrfnt\vf


4. Getting cyrillic font bodies.

a) EmTeX users who need 300 DPI fonts for HP LaserJet and screen viewer:
Download file cmcyr_lj.fli to the same directory cmcyrfnt.

Add the cmcyrfnt directory to the font library path.
Change the /pl line in lj.cnf to something like:

/pl=%DVIDRVFONTS%;d:\cmcyrfnt;lj_0;lj_h;lj_1;lj_2;lj_3;lj_4;lj_5a;lj_5b;cmcyr_lj

Examples of autoexec.bat and emtex\lj.cnf files are given
in directory cmcyrfnt\setup.


b) All others.

You will need to generate font bodies (*.pk) from
the font sources (*.mf) using  MetaFont and MfWare programs
(they are part of any decent TeX package (for example, of EmTeX)).

File cmcyr.mfj is a batch file for MfJob that performs
generation of cmcyralt fonts in PK format.
Since there is a bug in definition of cyrillic letter d
in fonts czssq8 and czssqi8, I included file mfjob.log
that lists these bugs.

After generating fonts you can create a font library (*.fli)
from them using the file setup/cmcyr.bat (EmTeX only).
