============================================================ eulervm v2.9a The Virtual Euler Math fonts and the LaTeX package eulervm ============================================================ 2002-11-13 Walter Schmidt was@VR-Web.de The well-known Euler math fonts (designed by H. Zapf) are suitable for math typesetting 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 resources 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 Type 1 (PostScript) text fonts. Installing ---------- Note that both macro package and the fonts (*.vf, *.tfm) are to be updated, when installing version 2.9a over a previous one! * 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 files are required additionally: 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 ------- 2002-11-13, v2.9a Virtual fonts: \epsilon and \varepsilon are no longer mixed up. Macro package: The slash, when used as a math delimiter, is now taken from the Euler Roman font, rather than from the text font. Documentation: Minor fixes and additions. 2002-03-10, v2.8 Use \familydefault for the operators font, rather than \rmdefault. Minor code cleanup. 2001-04-10, v2.7 The option [icomma] is still available, however undocumented. The package icomma.sty from the CTAN directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/was/ should be used instead. 2001-03-06, v2.6 Bug fixes: eulervm.sty should now work with amsmath 2.x, regardless of the sequence of loading; \ldots, \vdots, \ddots and the period are taken from the same fonts now, according to the euler-digits option; improved algorithm for the intelligent comma. New feature: With the package option [small], the Euler fonts will be used at 95% of their nominal size, thus blending better with certain text fonts, e.g. Minion. Note that the virtual fonts are unchanged; when installing v2.6 over v2.2, only the package file and the .fd files need to be replaced. 2000-02-02, v2.2 Bug fixes: Use Euler script for \mathcal, instead of CM-Calligraphic; added missing boldface symbols; improved documentation. 2000-01-19, v2.1 first public release -- finis
