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.
