\usepackage{asapsym}

To use the macros in Plain , \input the asapsym.code.tex file:

\input asapsym.code.tex

Both asapsym.sty and asapsym.code.tex are wrappers around the main generic macro definitions in asapsym-generic.tex.

Dependencies

When using , the fontspec package is used for loading the OpenType font and selecting features.

When using Plain with the Lua engine, luaotfload.sty is used for loading the OpenType font and selecting features using the same syntax used natively by .

  • Asap-Symbol.otf (the OpenType font, released under SIL OFL, version 1.1)
