============================================================ TeX support files for the Lucida Bright and Lucida New Math fonts as of 2008-05-06 ============================================================ Walter Schmidt w-a-schmidt(at)gmx.net This distribution contains the TeX fonts metrics, virtual fonts and LaTeX font definition files for the Lucida Bright and Lucida New Math fonts. This file set does, however, NOT include: * the actual Type 1 fonts (*.pfb, *.pfm, *.afm); * LaTeX macro packages to support math typesetting. The Lucida typeface family was designed by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes. (R) Lucida is a trademark of Bigelow & Holmes Inc. registered in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and other jurisdictions. Installing the Type 1 font files -------------------------------- Make sure that the Type1 font files carry their original names, as distributed by Y&Y, PCTeX or TUG. Do not rename them to standard ("Karl Berry style") names. The following table shows the descriptive PostScript font name, the original Y&Y l* name used for afm, pfb, and pfm files, and an h* tfm name, for the Y&Y texnansi 8y encoding, in the case of the text fonts. (The text fonts actually have several corresponding tfm's, one for each TeX encoding used; notably, 8y can be replaced with 8t to get the LaTeX T1 ("Cork") encoding.) /FontName: .afm,pfb,pfm name: sample tfm name: LucidaBright lbr hlhr8y LucidaBrightSmallcaps lbrsc hlhrc8y LucidaBright-Oblique lbsl hlhro8y LucidaBright-Italic lbi hlhri8y LucidaBright-Demi lbd hlhb8y LucidaBrightSmallcaps-Demi lbdsc hlhbc8y LucidaBright-DemiItalic lbdi hlhbi8y LucidaSans lsr hlsr8y LucidaSans-Italic lsi hlsri8y LucidaSans-Demi lsd hlsb8y LucidaSans-DemiItalic lsdi hlsbi8y LucidaSans-Bold lsb hlsu8y LucidaSans-BoldItalic lsbi hlsui8y LucidaTypewriter lbtr hlcrt8y LucidaTypewriterOblique lbto hlcrot8y LucidaTypewriterBold lbtb hlcbt8y LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique lbtbo hlcbot8y LucidaSans-Typewriter lstr hlsrt8y LucidaSans-TypewriterOblique lsto hlsrot8y LucidaSans-TypewriterBold lstb hlsbt8y LucidaSans-TypewriterBoldOblique lstbo hlsbot8y LucidaCalligraphy-Italic lbc hlcrie8y LucidaHandwriting-Italic lbh hlcriw8y LucidaCasual lbkr hlcrn8y LucidaCasual-Italic lbki hlcrin8y LucidaBlackletter lbl hlcrf8y LucidaFax lfr hlxr8y LucidaFax-Italic lfi hlxri8y LucidaFax-Demi lfd hlxb8y LucidaFax-DemiItalic lfdi hlxbi8y LucidaNewMath-Arrows lbma hlcra LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi lbmad hlcda LucidaNewMath-Demibold lbmd hlcdm LucidaNewMath-DemiItalic lbmdi hlcdim LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic lbmdo hlcdima LucidaNewMath-Extension lbme hlcrv LucidaNewMath-Italic lbmi hlcrim LucidaNewMath-AltItalic lbmo hlcrima LucidaNewMath-Roman lbmr hlcrm LucidaNewMath-Symbol lbms hlcry LucidaNewMath-Symbol-Demi lbmsd hlcdy Store the .pfb and .pfm files in the directory /fonts/type1/bh/lucida of your TeX system, and store the related .afm files in /fonts/afm/bh/lucida (With TeX systems other than VTeX, the directory names do not actually matter, as long as the .pfb files reside at least somewhere below texmf/fonts/type1. With VTeX/Free, however, you must use exactly the directory names as indicated above; otherwise the font map (.ali) file needs to be modified.) Unpacking the distribution -------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive lucida.zip in the directory of your TeX system. All files will then be generated in the appropriate directories. Installing the font map files ------------------------------ The following fonts map files are provided: lucida.map to be used with dvips and pdfTeX lucida.ali to be used with VTeX/Free Copy the file you want to use to a suitable directory of your TeX system; configure your TeX system so that it will make use of this map file. Consult the documentation of your TeX system for how to do so! Using the Lucida fonts with LaTeX --------------------------------- The file texmf/doc/fonts/lucida/lucida.txt includes some usage notes and a list of all available font families, series and shapes with their NFSS classification. How this collection was created ------------------------------- The font metrics, virtual fonts and .fd files for the T1 and TS1 encodings were created using fontinst 1.928. The sources are available as ZIP archive file lucida-fontinst.zip; note that there is no need to unpack and install it if you only want to _use_ the fonts! The font metric files for the LY1 encoded text fonts, as well as the metrics for the math fonts, are those that were formerly distributed by Y&Y.

This work consists of all files disributed through the CTAN directory fonts/metrics/bh/lucida/. History ------- 2008-05-06 license (LPPL) added 2006-03-23 Include tfm names too. 2005-11-14 Editorial/English changes. 2005-09-15 Font family hlhj with oldstyle figures added. Documentation (doc/fonts/lucida/lucida.txt) updated accordingly. 2005-08-24 Changed directory layout: Metrics, VFs and Type1 fonts are no longer spread over several directories each, and the documentation resides in /doc/fonts/lucida now. Thus, all bottom-level directories have the name "lucida" (which works well with TeX Live, although it is not required by the TDS.) The font map files lucidabr.map and lumath.map have been concatenated to one single file named "lucida.map"; and there is only one single map file "lucida.ali" for VTeX, too. Map files using standard ("Karl Berry style") names for the Type1 font files have been abolished, since both MikTeX and TeX Live seem to prefer the original file names. (Note, however, that all tfm and vf files carry _standard_ names, because the original names would not be able to distinguish between LY1, T1 and TS1 encoding.) \texteuro is now provided in _all_ TS1-encoded fonts; when there is no such character in the physical Type1 font, it is faked. Improved Polish diacritics and \dj in most virtual fonts. Revised VFs and metrics of the smallcaps fonts hlhbc8t and hlhrc8t to fix a minor bug regarding the size of the hungarumlaut accent. Oldstyle figures from the Lucida Calligraphy-Italic fonts are made available also for the italic shape of the Lucida Bright family. Revised documentation; in particular, the API provided by the fd files to scale the fonts (\DeclareLucidaFontShape) is now documented. 2003-03-12 All typewriter fonts have vertically centered asterisks now; all textcompanion fonts have vertically centered \textaskeriskcentered symbols. The Omega symbol \textohm is made available in the textcompanion fonts. The Polish diacritics have been somewhat improved, but are not really satisfactory yet. Font mapping files have been moved out of the zip archive, with respect to their changed location in the future TDS 1.0. Some empty and unneeded directories have been removed from the archive lucida.zip. 2003-01-13 There are thorough changes over the previous CTAN distrib: The new file set includes also the metrics for LY1 encoded text fonts. These are the original files from Y&Y, only renamed to Karl-Berry-style names. The related .fd files were changed appropriately. Thus, LY1 can be used easily beside T1/TS1. The LY1 and TS1 encodings make the Euro symbol (\texteuro) accessible, which is present in the current release of the Lucida fonts. With T1/TS1 encoding, the same set of font series and shapes is supported as with Y&Y's original distribution. The previous CTAN distribution, in contrast, included a number of additional series/shapes, which were based on artificially compressed, expanded or slanted fonts and faked smallcaps. Notice that these were never documented! The obsolete OT1 font encoding is no longer supported with the Lucida fonts. T1 encoded smallcaps fonts (hlhrc8t, hlhbc8t) include normal digits now, as expected. Oldstyle digits are still available in the TS1 encoding.
