Basil K. Malyshev converted the Computer Modern and AMS Metafont
source files to PostScript type 1 (PFB, AFM, and PFM) and Windows
TrueType formats. He also made the CM fonts available in Macintosh
TrueType format. The fonts in these subdirectories are still covered
by his original license, which is in
tex-archive/tex/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/BaKoMa-CM.fonts.
Tom Scavo and I have converted the PFB files to downloadable
PostScript files, so that they can be used on the Macintosh. These PS
files have been stuffed, binhexed, and stored in the macps
subdirectory. We also reorganized the Mac TrueType files into
suitcases so that they would be more readily accessible. These files
are stuffed, binhexed, and ready for downloading in the tt
subdirectory. We also created two configuration files, "Add BaKoMa
Fonts" and "BaKoMa.enc", so that the BaKoMa fonts could be easily used
with OzTeX. These files were put into oztexfiles.sit.hqx. This file
along with 00readme.oztex are in the oztex subdirectory. Installation
instructions and other comments are in the 00readme.oztex file, so we
recommend you download that file first.
Currently, Mac TrueType versions of the AMS fonts do not exist, so the
corresponding PostScript files are of limited usefulness. Also, ATM-
screen fonts (bitmaps) do not exist for any of the BaKoMa PS fonts, so
both the TrueType and the mac PostScript files are needed to view and
print to PS printers with OzTeX. See the comments in 00readme.oztex
for more information. If someone has Fontographer, Font Monger, or
the font utilities by Y&Y, we would greatly appreciate it if you would
create ATM-compatible screen fonts.
