Hi all,
after recieving various minor bug reports and suggestions, I've put up
another version of fontinst-1.8, which hopefully should be fit for the
real release on CTAN. As usual, you can find it at
http://www.thphy.uni-duesseldorf.de/~vieth/src/fontinst-1.8.tar.gz
http://www.thphy.uni-duesseldorf.de/~vieth/src/fontname.tar.gz
Notable changes:
* various typos corrected
* minor fixes in fontinst.ini (needed when running initex on fontinst.sty
to make a fontinst.fmt, which is subsequently loaded into virtex)
* ofontinst/xfontinst.sty replaced by fontinst.sty/xfntinst.sty,
avoid trickery with symbolic links, which doesn't work on all platforms
* examples/mathptm was split into two subdirectories:
- mathptm (based on Times, Symbol and ZapfChancery) should be backwards
compatible to the original version including all the (mis)features
- mathptmx (based on Times, Symbol and RSFS) includes a number of changes
(hopefully improvements), but it is _not_ metrics-compatible to the
originaly mathtptm, so it should be used with care.
Both packages use different font names, but some of the family names and
fd file names are the same, so it's not recommended to install both.
- mathptm (legacy names and metrics):
zptmcmr OT1ptmcm ptmr + psyr + cmr
zptmcmrm OMLptmcm ptmri + psyr + cmmi
zpzccmry OMSpzccm cmsy + pzc + psy,ptmr
zpsycmrv OMXpsycm cmex + psy
- mathptmx (new names and metrics):
zptmcm7t OT1ptmcm ptmr + psyr + cmr
zptmcm7m OMLptmcm ptmri + psyro + cmmi
zptmcm7y OMSptmcm cmsy + rsfs + psy,ptmr
zptmcm7v OMXptmcm cmex + psy
That should be all. Hope we can really put this version on CTAN now.
Cheers, Ulrik.
