This module includes popular macro packages described in
chapters 7 (Preparing music scores: MusiXTeX) and 8 (Playing
games: Chess, Xiangqi - Chinese Chess, Go, Backgammon, Bridge,
Crosswords) of the `LaTeX graphics Companion' They are
precompiled for use, together with fonts and documentation,
directly in BaKoMa TeX. Fonts used by some packages are
converted into formats suitable both for printing and for PDF
generation. For example, for Chess the diagram fonts are
converted into vector Type 3 font format. Board black squares
are coded as a gray color instead of dashing. This approach
gives the best results on printers and displays. Fonts for
in-line notation are in Type 1 font format. For Go the special
fonts are too hard to convert automatically and have been
efficiently coded in Type 3 font format. For Backgammon the
fonts were originally dithered as halftone, making them
unsuitable for PDF. The halftone was emulated by using gray
color in Type 3 fonts.
