The METAFONT Implementation of the Universal font
Version 2.1, 2019/08/26
by Christian Holm
This is the universal package containing my implementation of Herbert Bayers universal' font in Metafont, with LaTeX2e support.
Installation
Using Autotools
autoreconf -i -f ./configure make make install
By hand
To install the package do:
- Make sure you have created the following directories:
<TeX-base>/tex/latex/universa/ <TeX-base>/doc/latex/universa/ <TeX-base>/fonts/source/public/universa/ Where _TeX-base_ is the root of you TeX installation. The most common values of _TeX-base_ is
/usr/local/lib/texmf (teTeX on Unix-like systems) C:\EMTEX (emTeX on DOS-like systems) but could also be something like:
/home/johndoe/lib/texmf (user installation on Unix-like systems) D:\Program Files\TeX (Some wierd Windows95 installation)
- Put the files
universa.ins' and
universa.dtx' in some temporary directory.
- Do
- If you
docstrip
program is set up correctly, that is,docstrip.cfg
exists and contains the line
latex universa.ins
\BaseDirectory{<TeX-base>}
then all files will be put in the right directories, and you need to do nothing more.
2. If no `docstrip.cfg' is present on the system, then you need to move the files your self. You should move the files as specified below:
*.mf => <TeX-base>/fonts/source/public/universa/ *.fd => <TeX-base>/tex/latex/universa/ uni.sty => <TeX-base>/tex/latex/universa/ unidoc.sty => <TeX-base>/doc/latex/universa/ copyright => <TeX-base>/doc/latex/universa/
4. In any case you need to move the files below as specified below: universa.dtx => <TeX-base>/tex/latex/universa/ universa.ins => <TeX-base>/tex/latex/universa/ README.md => <TeX-base>/tex/latex/universa/ so that you can produce the documentation. You can of course compress those file to save disk space.
- If you are using some TeX distribution that has a database (that is proberly the case if your TeX distribution uses
kpathsea'), you
should update that database.
- To produce the documentation go to the directory where you put
unidoc
, i.e.,<TeX-base>/doc/latex/universa/
, and do - This should leave you with a file
uni.dvi
(oruni.pdf
). You can remove the files
latex universa.dtx latex universa.dtx makeindex -s gind -o uni.ind uni.idx makeindex -s gglo -o uni.gls uni.glo latex universa.dtx latex universa.dtx
uni.idx uni.glo uni.log uni.aux uni.toc uni.ilg uni.out
You may need to substitute `makeindex` with what is relevant for your system, e.g., `makeindx` in emTeX.
I hope you will enjoy this package.
