============================================================ "Adobe Sabon" font pack as of 2003-10-22 ============================================================ Walter Schmidt w.a.schmidt(@)gmx.net This bundle includes all required files for using Adobe's Sabon Type1 fonts with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. It does _not_ include the actual Type1 fonts, which are to be purchased. Note that you need a recent version of the fonts, which includes the Euro symbol! See below for the list of particular font files needed. 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. News ---- 2003-10-22 All virtual fonts re-made using latest fontinst, thus fixing various deficiencies; slightly improved kerning tables. Bugs and problems ----------------- The original font metrics as supplied by Adobe are lacking proper kerning data for accented letters, umlauts and typical character pairs that occur in other languages than English. The kerning tables in the TeX metric files have been somewhat corrected for the German language, but no further languages are particularly covered so far. Removing obsolete files ----------------------- In case you have installed a previous release of this collection, please remove manually the file texmf/vtex/config/psb.ali before installing the present release. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 font files are to be renamed for use with TeX. The names of the original files may vary, so the following table tells the related PostScript font names, too: FontName: Adobe: TeX: Sabon-Roman sar_____.pfb psbr8a.pfb Sabon-Italic sai_____.pfb psbri8a.pfb Sabon-Bold sab_____.pfb psbb8a.pfb Sabon-BoldItalic sabi____.pfb psbbi8a.pfb Sabon-RomanSC sarsc___.pfb psbrc8a.pfb Sabon-ItalicOsF saiof___.pfb psbrij8a.pfb Sabon-BoldOsF sabof___.pfb psbbj8a.pfb Sabon-BoldItalicOsF sabio___.pfb psbbij8a.pfb The .pfb files are to be copied to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/sabon of your TeX system. The related .afm files should also be renamed accordingly and installed into the directory texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/sabon Most likely, you need to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive psb.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive psb.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the appropriate directories. Updating the filename database ------------------------------ Certain TeX systems require manually 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 Adobe Sabon 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 Sabon is "psb.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 psb.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 psb.map With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation how to install an additional map file. Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file psb.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 "psb.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... psb.ali } In case you are still using VTeX/Free 7.x (as opposed to v8.x), copy the file psb.ali from texmf/fonts/map/vtex to the directory texmf/vtex/config. Using the Sabon fonts with LaTeX -------------------------------- See the file sabon.txt, which resides in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/adobe.
