!TeXFonts V2.01
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!TeXFonts is part of the !DVIview distribution and, as such, may be freely
distributed as long as the various conditions mentioned in the !DVIview
documentation are met.
!TeXFonts is intended to be the repository of the various font files needed by
TeX and !DVIview. By storing all the font files in a single directory
structure, quite a bit of disc space can be saved. !TeXFonts also uses
'Messages1' files to speed up installation of the fonts by the font manager.
There are three 'types' of TeX font currently stored in !TeXFonts:
1) The majority of fonts have RISC OS font outlines included and so can be
used in !DVIview and can be downloaded to Postscript printers via !DVIview.
2) A few fonts (those prefixed with an 'i' in the LaTeXFonts directory) have
RISC OS bitmaps and so can be displayed in !DVIview but will not download
to Postscript printers (they're fine on other printers though).
3) Some fonts only contain the TeX font information and so they cannot be
used with !DVIview. All of these fonts are stored in the 'NotRISCOS'
directory.
If you intend to only use !DVIview for viewing/printing files then you
can save disc space by removing all the 'mf' files. You can also remove the
contents of the 'NotRISCOS' directory. In a future release I may provide a
program for removing 'mf' files automatically but I haven't got round to
writing it yet.
Thanks to Chris Taylor who provided hinted versions of the TeX fonts and to
Robin Watts who updated !TeXFonts to include 'mf' files.
