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 ------------------------------- | | You need not repeat this step, when updating from a | previous release of this collection! | The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Adobe, are to be renamed for use with TeX: Adobe file name TeX file name PostScript FontName ------------------------------------------------------- rg______.pfb -> pror8a.pfb RotisSerif rgb_____.pfb -> prob8a.pfb RotisSerif-Bold rgi_____.pfb -> prori8a.pfb RotisSerif-Italic rb______.pfb -> pr4r8a.pfb RotisSansSerif rbb_____.pfb -> pr4b8a.pfb RotisSansSerif-Bold rbeb____.pfb -> pr4x8a.pfb RotisSansSerif-ExtraBold rbi_____.pfb -> pr4ri8a.pfb RotisSansSerif-Italic rbl_____.pfb -> pr4l8a.pfb RotisSansSerif-Light rbli____.pfb -> pr4li8a.pfb RotisSansSerif-LightItalic rf______.pfb -> pr1r8a.pfb RotisSemiSerif rfb_____.pfb -> pr1b8a.pfb RotisSemiSerif-Bold rc______.pfb -> pr3r8a.pfb RotisSemiSans rcb_____.pfb -> pr3b8a.pfb RotisSemiSans-Bold rceb____.pfb -> pr3x8a.pfb RotisSemiSans-ExtraBold rci_____.pfb -> pr3ri8a.pfb RotisSemiSans-Italic rcl_____.pfb -> pr3l8a.pfb RotisSemiSans-Light rcli____ pfb -> pr3li8a.pfb RotisSemiSans-LightItalic Copy them to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/rotis of your TeX system. Rename the .afm files accordingly and copy them to: texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/rotis Most likely, you will have to create these directories first. Removing obsolete files ----------------------- In case you have installed the 2000-03-17 release of this collection, please delete the files dvips/config/pro.map pdftex/config/pro.map doc/latex/adobe/rotis.txt and the following directory, incloding its contents: tex/latex/adobe/rotis/ Rationale: With respect to the changed TDS structure, the location of certain files has changed, and just installing new dstribution would not overwite or delete the obsolete files. Installing the TeX support files from the archive pro.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive pro.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 includes several font map files for the Adobe Rotis fonts. You need to configure your TeX system so that an appropriate file is actually used. The required steps depend on the particular TeX system. Particular sets of instructions are provided below for the following systems: * teTeX v2.0 and later versions (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) * VTeX/Free With other TeX systems such as MikTeX or older versions of teTeX, consult the related documentation how to install an additional font map file. The name of the map file to be used for Rotis is "pro.map". Two identical copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips/pro. Configuring teTeX ----------------- Additional font map files (here pro.map) are installed using the shell script "updmap". Before doing so, delete the file texmf/dvips/config/pro.map, which is not needed in a recent teTeX. Then issue the following commands in a comamnd shell: texhash updmap --enable Map pro.map Configuring VTeX/Free --------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file pro.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting an appropriate record into each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm Edit these files; in each file add the name "pro.ali" to the TYPE1 section: TYPE1 { ... pro.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 Adobe Rotis fonts with LaTeX ---------------------------------------------- See the file rotis.txt, which resides in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/adobe.
