this notice and the names of the authors in the various files
are preserved.
The Type 1 fonts (file extensions .pfb and .afm) are not included
since these are copyrighted by Adobe.
WHAT IS IT?
===========
With this package, you can use Adobe Garamond fonts in LaTeX
documents, both in text and mathematical equations. A customized
version of Donald Knuth's math fonts is used such that all math
symbols nicely match the Adobe Garamond fonts.
I did this in 2001 when I was writing my Ph.D. thesis, which involved
several days of fiddling with the MathKit scripts and fine-tuning lots
of parameters for Metafont. I intended to make it publicly available
but never got to it until now.
REQUIREMENTS
============
1. TeX/LaTeX with a standard texmf tree installed on your system
2. Adobe Garamond fonts PFB and AFM files for "Regular", "Regular
Small Caps", "Titling Capitals", "Italic", "Semi Bold". I purchased
5 fonts as a package. Google for: Touch of Classics Adobe Garamond,
for around USD 80. It's not cheap, I know, but you will have
something exclusive in return, instead of the Computer Modern and
Times Roman that everybody uses.
3. MathKit should not be installed on your system. I made some changes
in MathKit's metafont files that might conflict with a standard
MathKit installation. If I see that this package is downloaded
frequently, I might try to make it work smoother.
INSTALLATION
============
A. Linux users
==============
If you use a recent Linux distribution, e.g. Fedora Core 3, you can
run install.sh from the same directory. However, first copy the PFB
and AFM files from Adobe (files gdxxx___.pfb, gdxxx___.afm) into the
directory adobe/
1. The original PFB and AFM files should be renamed; on Linux-like systems:
mv gdrg____.pfb padr8a.pfb
mv gdsc____.pfb padrc8a.pfb
mv gdttl___.pfb padrd8a.pfb
mv gdi_____.pfb padri8a.pfb
mv gdsb____.pfb pads8a.pfb
mv gdrg____.afm padr8a.afm
mv gdsc____.afm padrc8a.afm
mv gdttl___.afm padrd8a.afm
mv gdi_____.afm padri8a.afm
mv gdsb____.afm pads8a.afm
2. Put them into texmf/fonts/type1/Adobe/Adobe-Garamond/
mv pad*.pfb texmf/fonts/type1/Adobe/Adobe-Garamond/
3. Copy the included texmf tree into your system-wide texmf tree.
In my Fedora Core 3 Linux system, I type (as root):
cp -a texmf /usr/local/share/
(You can check /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf to see
in which directories TeX will look for files.)
4. In the newly installed texmf tree, edit
texmf/dvips/config/psfonts.map
If it already exists: append the contents of psfonts.map.zadpad
If it does not exist: rename psfonts.map.zadpad to psfonts.map
5. Update the file index. On my system, that is
mktexlsr /usr/local/share/texmf
6. Now you are ready. Just put \usepackage{zadpad} in the beginning of
your LaTeX documents to use the fonts. You can start with the
included file "test.tex". Note that a dvi viewer may not like the
postscript-generated slanted roman.
