============================================================ Adobe Myriad font pack as of 2004-01-07 ============================================================ Walter Schmidt w.a.schmidt(@)gmx.net This collection includes tfm, vf, fd and map files to use the Adobe Myriad, Myriad Headline and Myriad Condensed families of Type1 fonts with LaTeX on the Un*x or PC platform. It can be used even if you have only one of these font families. The collection does not inlclude the fonts themselves; they need to be purchased from Adobe or Linotype. The four Myriad fonts (Roman, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic) are also distributed in conjunction with the Adobe Type Manager, The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant TeX system, such as teTeX, fpTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. The directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of the TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than one such directory tree, the documentation should tell you where to install new files. What's new? ----------- 2004-01-07 Faked Euro symbols are now available in all fonts. 2003-11-26 Myriad-Headline is supported as series "b", while the series "bx" is assigned to Myriad-Bold. Installing the Myriad Type1 fonts --------------------------------- The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Adobe or Linotype, are to be renamed for use with TeX: Adobe/Linotype TeX FontName ------------------------------------------------- wmr_____.pfb pmyr8a.pfb Myriad-Roman wmi_____.pfb pmyri8a.pfb Myriad-Italic wmb_____.pfb pmyb8a.pfb Myriad-Bold wmbi____.pfb pmybi8a.pfb Myriad-BoldItalic wmhd____.pfb pmyrd8a.pfb Myriad-Headline wmc_____.pfb pmyr8ac.pfb Myriad-Condensed wmci____.pfb pmyri8ac.pfb Myriad-CnItalic wmcs____.pfb pmys8ac.pfb Myriad-CnSemibold wmcsi___.pfb pmysi8ac.pfb Myriad-CnSemiboldItalic wmcb____.pfb pmyb8ac.pfb Myriad-CnBold wmcbi___.pfb pmybi8ac.pfb Myriad-CnBoldItalic Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/myriad/ of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and put them into texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/myriad/ Installing the support files ---------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive pmy.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 --------------------------- The present distribution comprises several font map files for the Adobe Myriad 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 Myriad is "pmy.map". Two copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips. Configuring teTeX ----------------- Use the shell script "updmap" to add the font map file named "pmy.map" to the configuration. See the documentation of your particular teTeX version how to use the script. With teTeX 2.0 and above, execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map pmy.map Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file pmy.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a record for this file into each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm "pmy.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... pmy.ali } Using the Myriad fonts with LaTeX --------------------------------- See the file myriad.txt directory texmf/doc/fonts/adobe of your TeX system Legal notice ------------ The Myriad font pack is made up from the files pmy.txt and pmy.zip.
