=========================================================== Bitstream News Gothic font pack for LaTeX ============================================================ 2004-06-09 WalterSchmidt w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net This bundle includes all files required to use the Bitstream News Gothic Type1 fonts with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. It does _not_ include the actual Type1 fonts, which are to be purchased from Bitstream. 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. What's new? ---------- 2004-06-09 The Euro symbol is supported, if you have got a sufficiently recent version of the fonts. Minor improvements to the kerning tables. Location of the font mapping files changed wrt/ TDS 1.0. English documentation. 2002-06-02: Added kerning data for umlauts. OT1-Encoding is no longer supported. TDS-compliant archive structure Updating from a previous release -------------------------------- In case you install this collection over any previous release, the file texmf/vtex/config/bng.ali is to be deleted manually In case you install this collection over the 2000-12-04 release, the file texmf/doc/latex/bitstrea/newsgth.txt and the directories texmf/tex/latex/bitstrea/newsgth texmf/fonts/tfm/bitstrea/newsgth texmf/fonts/vf/bitstrea/newsgth are to be deleted manually. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- | | You need not repeat this step, when updating from a | previous release of this collection, unless you | actually intend to install new version of the fonts. | The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Bitstream, are to be renamed for use with TeX. The original file named may differ, depending on whether you have obtained the fonts from Bitstream or Corel: Bitstream: Corel: TeX: 0047A___.PFB newsgotn.pfb bngr8a.pfb 0048A___.PFB newsgoti.pfb bngri8a.pfb 0049A___.PFB newsgotb.pfb bngb8a.pfb 0050A___.PFB newgotbi.pfb bngbi8a.pfb 0949A___.PFB newsgotd.pfb bngd8a.pfb 0950A___.PFB newsgtdi.pfb bngdi8a.pfb Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/newsgth of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and copy them to: texmf/fonts/afm/bitstrea/newsgth Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive bng.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive bng.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 News Gothic 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 News Gothic is "bng.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 bng.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 bng.map With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation how to install an additional map file. Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file bng.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 "bng.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... bng.ali } In case you are still using VTeX/Free 7.x (as opposed to v8.x), copy the file bng.ali from texmf/fonts/map/vtex to the directory texmf/vtex/config. Using the Bitstream News Gothic fonts with LaTeX ------------------------------------------------ See the file newsgth.txt, which resides in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/bitstrea.
