-
- I've updated the Lucida font distribution to version 1.2.
-
- ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/lucida/lucida.tar.Z
-
- These files will be of no use to you unless you also have the Type 1
- PFA/PFB/etc. files with the outlines.
-
- Changes in this release:
-
- * \cdot (and hence \cdots) spacing corrected (vastly decreased).
-
- * Use dvips' new afm2tfm program.
-
- * New version of psnfss.sup for using these fonts with NFSS.
-
- The distribution includes the math fonts as a (more or less) drop-in
- replacement for Computer Modern. I've worked some on the magic math
- font parameters, but no doubt improvements are possible.
-
- I suggest using Tom Rokicki's dvips as your DVI-to-PostScript program.
- dvips is on labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.tar.Z, and my hacked version
- with the same path searching algorithm is on
- ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.Z. The afm2tfm program in those
- distributions is what I used to create the virtual fonts.
-
- Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz, who did much of the initial work, and Chuck
- Bigelow and Kris Holmes, who designed the typefaces.
