| This directory contains all the BaKoMa Computer Modern fonts in | ||||
| Macintosh TrueType format.  These fonts are the same fonts in | ||||
| tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/mrf, except for three minor | ||||
| differences.  The first is that the files in the mrf directory are in | ||||
| MacBinary format, while the fonts in this directory are stuffed, | ||||
| binhexed files, a more common format for archived Mac files.  The | ||||
| second is that each font in the mrf directory is an individual | ||||
| suitcase with the name *FontName#.mrf, where * is a space or empty | ||||
| character and # is a number (which does not correspond to the font | ||||
| size).  In this directory, however, all similarly named fonts were | ||||
| grouped in a suitcase named after that font.  For example, all sizes | ||||
| of the Computer Modern Roman fonts are in cmr.mrf.sit.hqx.  The third | ||||
| is that the screen font name for each font has been prefixed with a | ||||
| "~".  This pushes all the fonts to the bottom of the font menu, so | ||||
| that all your regular fonts remain more accessible at the top.  It is | ||||
| also possible to remove some or all the BaKoMa fonts from the font | ||||
| menu by replacing the "~" with a "%".  See the section on hidden fonts | ||||
| below for more details.  After de-binhexing and unstuffing, all the | ||||
| Computer Modern Roman fonts will be in the cmr.mrf suitcase.  (Trivial | ||||
| note: I believe mrf stands for Macintosh Resource Format.) The fonts | ||||
| in the mrf directory were created by Basil K. Malyshev using Font | ||||
| Monger. | ||||
|  | ||||
| To use these fonts on a Macintosh, just drop them into your System  | ||||
| Folder under System 7.x, at which point the system will put them where  | ||||
| they belong.  They should appear in an applications's Font menu like  | ||||
| any other font and should print on either PostScript or non-PostScript  | ||||
| printers. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ATM screen fonts are not currently available for the Computer Modern | ||||
| fonts.  If you own Fontographer, Font Monger, or the font utilities | ||||
| from Y&Y, you can create these bitmaps from the AFM and PostScript | ||||
| files.  If you do create these screen fonts, please upload them to | ||||
| CTAN so that others can have access to them. | ||||
|  | ||||
| No ATM or Mac TrueType screen fonts exist for the AMS fonts, so | ||||
| currently the AMS fonts can only be used for printing.  If you have | ||||
| any of the programs listed above, you can create them yourself.  If | ||||
| you do, please upload them to CTAN. | ||||
|  | ||||
| To use these fonts with OzTeX, see the 00readme.oztex file in | ||||
| tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/mac/oztex. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Hidden Fonts | ||||
| ------------ | ||||
| You can remove the BaKoMa fonts from the font menu and still use them | ||||
| with OzTeX.  However, if you do this no other application, (except | ||||
| possibly Textures), will be able to access these fonts.  There are two | ||||
| steps to do this.  It is probably best to work on a copy of the | ||||
| TrueType fonts when your using ResEdit. | ||||
| 	1.  Change the "~" to a "%" in the screen font name in the  | ||||
| 	    "Add BaKoMa fonts" file.  Do this for any of the fonts  | ||||
| 	    you want to hide.  For example, the current line for cmr12 | ||||
| 	    in the "Add BaKoMa fonts" looks like | ||||
| =  	cmr12	cmr12  		<cmr12		~cmr12		BaKoMaCM.enc | ||||
| 	    The new line should look like. | ||||
| =  	cmr12	cmr12  		<cmr12		%cmr12		BaKoMaCM.enc | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	2.  Change the "~" to a "%" in the font name in the TrueType | ||||
| 	    screen font using ResEdit. | ||||
|             1.  Start ResEdit and open the suitcase containing the font  | ||||
| 		you want. Let's say it's cmr12. | ||||
| 	    2.	Double click on the FOND resource. | ||||
| 	    3.	Select but do not open the resource named ~cmr12. | ||||
| 	    4.	Get Info (ie. type command I). | ||||
| 	    5.  Change the "~" in the name field to a "%". | ||||
| 	    6.  Save and close the field. | ||||
|  | ||||
| I determine this trick by examining the Hidden fonts that Blue Sky | ||||
| Research supplies with Textures (The best implementation of TeX on any | ||||
| platform!!!) They credit Constantin Kahn at the University of Hannover | ||||
| for suggesting this technique.  By the way, Blue Sky Research research | ||||
| also supplies Computer Modern fonts in Postscript type-1 format with | ||||
| ATM screen fonts.  There are two advantages to the Blue Sky fonts. | ||||
| The first is I have heard the print quality is slightly better than | ||||
| the BaKoMa fonts.  The second is you do not need both the truetype | ||||
| screen fonts and downloadable postscript files, so they take up less | ||||
| disk space. | ||||
|  | ||||
| The BaKoMa fonts in PostScript and TrueType format were originally  | ||||
| created by Basil K. Malyshev <malyshev@dxcern.cern.ch>.  His original  | ||||
| license still applies, which is reprinted below.  Please read  | ||||
| BaKoMa-CM.fonts and BaKoMa-AMS.fonts in  | ||||
| tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma for more information. | ||||
