=========================================================== Linotype ITC Charter font pack for LaTeX ============================================================ 2003-05-31 WalterSchmidt w.a.schmidt(at)gmx.net This bundle includes all files required to use Linotype's "ITC Charter" PostScript fonts with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. It does _not_ include the actual Type1 fonts, which are to be purchased from Linotype. See below for the list of all fonts used. Notice that the present support files were created from the version of the IT Charter fonts, that was provided in version 1.6 of the Linotype Library and on the Gold Edition CD-ROM 1.6. They cannot be used with earlier version of the fonts. The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant TeX system, such as teTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. Yet they may not exactly fit your particular TeX system; please, consult its documentation, too! The directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of a TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than one directory tree, its documentation should tell you where to install new files. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Linotype, are to be renamed for use with TeX: FontName: Linotype file name TeX file name CharterITC-ReguSC c092813t.pfb lchrc8a.pfb CharterITC-BoldSC c092816t.pfb lchbc8a.pfb CharterITC-Bold lt_70595.pfb lchb8a.pfb CharterITC-BoldItal lt_70598.pfb lchbi8a.pfb CharterITC-Regu lt_70604.pfb lchr8a.pfb CharterITC-ReguItal lt_70607.pfb lchri8a.pfb Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/linotype/charter of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and copy them to: texmf/fonts/afm/linotype/charter Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive lch.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive lch.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the appropriate directories. Updating the filename database ------------------------------ Many TeX systems require manual updating of a "filename database" after adding of new files. Please, consult the documentation of your TeX system! Configuring your TeX system --------------------------- | | You need not repeat this step, when updating from a | previous release of this collection! | The present distribution comprises several font map files for the Linotype ITC Charter fonts. You need to configure your TeX system so that these files are actually used. The required steps depend on the particular TeX system. Particular sets of instructions are provided below for the following systems: * teTeX * VTeX/Free With other TeX systems such as MikTeX, consult the related documentation how to install an additional font map file. The name of the map file to be used for TIC Charter is "lch.map". Two copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips. Configuring teTeX ----------------- Additional font map files (here lch.map) are installed using the shell script "updmap". With teTeX-2.0 and later (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map lch.map With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation about how to add new map files to the system. Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file lch.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting an appropriate record ito each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "lch.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... lch.ali } In case you are still using VTeX/Free 7.x (as opposed to v8.x), copy the .ali file from texmf/fonts/map/vtex to the directory texmf/vtex/config. Using the Linotype ITC Charter fonts with LaTeX ----------------------------------------------- See the file charter.txt, which resides in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/linotype. Legal notice ------------ The "Linotype ITC Charter font pack" is made up from the files lch.txt and lch.zip.
