- !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.
