Times-like fonts in support of mathematics
Txfonts supplies virtual text roman fonts using Adobe Times (or URW NimbusRomNo9L) with some modified and additional text symbols in the OT1, T1, and TS1 encodings; maths alphabets using Times/URW Nimbus; maths fonts providing all the symbols of the Computer Modern and AMS fonts, including all the Greek capital letters from CMR; and additional maths fonts of various other symbols. The set is complemented by a sans-serif set of text fonts, based on Helvetica/NimbusSanL, and a monospace set. All the fonts are in Type 1 format (AFM and PFB files), and are supported by TeX metrics (VF and TFM files) and macros for use with LaTeX.
Latin Modern Math is a maths companion for the Latin Modern family of fonts, in OpenType format. For use with LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX, support is available from the unicode-math package.
TeX Fonts extending freely available URW fonts
The TeX-GYRE bundle consists of six font families: TeX Gyre Adventor is based on the URW Gothic L family of fonts (which is derived from ITC Avant Garde Gothic, designed by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase). TeX Gyre Bonum is based on the URW Bookman L family (from Bookman Old Style, designed by Alexander Phemister). TeX Gyre Chorus is based on URW Chancery L Medium Italic (from ITC Zapf Chancery, designed by Hermann Zapf in 1979). TeX-Gyre Cursor is based on URW Nimbus Mono L (based on Courier, designed by Howard G. Kettler in 1955, for IBM). TeX Gyre Heros is based on URW Nimbus Sans L (from Helvetica, prepared by Max Miedinger, with Eduard Hoffmann in 1957). TeX Gyre Pagella is based on URW Palladio L (from Palatino, designed by Hermann Zapf in the 1940s). TeX Gyre Schola is based on the URW Century Schoolbook L family (which was designed by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders). TeX Gyre Termes is based on the URW Nimbus Roman No9 L family of fonts (whose original, Times, was designed by Stanley Morison together with Starling Burgess and Victor Lardent and first offered by Monotype). The constituent standard faces of each family have been greatly extended, and contain nearly 1100 glyphs each (though Chorus omits Greek support, has no small-caps family and has approximately 800 glyphs). Each family is available in Adobe Type 1 and Open Type formats, and LaTeX support (for use with a variety of encodings) is provided. Vietnamese characters were added by Han The Thanh.
Maths fonts to match tex-gyre text fonts
TeX-Gyre-Math is a collection of maths fonts to match the text fonts of the TeX-Gyre collection. The collection is available in OpenType format, only; fonts conform to the developing standards for OpenType maths fonts. TeX-Gyre-Math-Bonum (to match TeX-Gyre-Bonum), TeX-Gyre-Math-Pagella (to match TeX-Gyre- Pagella), TeX-Gyre-Math-Schola (to match TeX-Gyre-Schola) and TeX-Gyre-Math-Termes (to match TeX-Gyre-Termes) fonts are provided.
Martin Vogel's Symbol font (marvosym) contains the Euro currency symbol as defined by the European commission, along with symbols for structural engineering; symbols for steel cross-sections; astronomy signs (sun, moon, planets); the 12 signs of the zodiac; scissor symbols; CE sign and others. The package contains both the original TrueType font and the derived Type 1 font, together with support files for TeX (LaTeX).
These are the wasy (Waldi symbol) fonts, second release. This bundle presents the fonts in Metafont format, but they are also available in Adobe Type 1 format. Support under LaTeX is provided by the wasysym package.
Fonts to typeset mathematics to match Palatino
The Pazo Math fonts are a family of PostScript fonts suitable for typesetting mathematics in combination with the Palatino family of text fonts. The Pazo Math family is made up of five fonts provided in Adobe Type 1 format (PazoMath, PazoMath- Italic, PazoMath-Bold, PazoMath-BoldItalic, and PazoMathBlackboardBold). These contain, in designs that match Palatino, glyphs that are usually not available in Palatino and for which Computer Modern looks odd when combined with Palatino. These glyphs include the uppercase Greek alphabet in upright and slanted shapes in regular and bold weights, the lowercase Greek alphabet in slanted shape in regular and bold weights, several mathematical glyphs (partialdiff, summation, product, coproduct, emptyset, infinity, and proportional) in regular and bold weights, other glyphs (Euro and dotlessj) in upright and slanted shapes in regular and bold weights, and the uppercase letters commonly used to represent various number sets (C, I, N, Q, R, and Z) in blackboard bold. The set also includes a set of 'true' small-caps fonts, also suitable for use with Palatino (or one of its clones). LaTeX macro support (using package mathpazo.sty) is provided in psnfss (a required part of any LaTeX distribution).
Fonts and macros for IPA phonetics characters
These fonts are considered the 'ultimate answer' to IPA typesetting. The encoding of these 8-bit fonts has been registered as LaTeX standard encoding T3, and the set of addendum symbols as encoding TS3. 'Times-like' Adobe Type 1 versions are provided for both the T3 and the TS3 fonts.
These fonts were created in Metafont by Knuth, for his own publications. At some stage, the letters 'P' and 'S' were added, so that the MetaPost logo could also be expressed. The fonts were originally issued (of course) as Metafont source; they have since been autotraced and reissued in Adobe Type 1 format by Taco Hoekwater.
A commercial text font donated for the common good. Support for use with LaTeX is available in freenfss, part of psnfss.
Computer modern fonts in T1 and TS1 encodings
The EC fonts are European Computer Modern Fonts, supporting the complete LaTeX T1 encoding defined at the 1990 TUG conference hold at Cork/Ireland. These fonts are intended to be stable with no changes being made to the tfm files. The set also contains a Text Companion Symbol font, called tc, featuring many useful characters needed in text typesetting, for example oldstyle digits, currency symbols (including the newly created Euro symbol), the permille sign, copyright, trade mark and servicemark as well as a copyleft sign, and many others. Recent releases of LaTeX2e support the EC fonts. The EC fonts supersede the preliminary version released as the DC fonts. The fonts are available in (traced) Adobe Type 1 format, as part of the cm-super bundle. The other Computer Modern-style T1-encoded Type 1 set, Latin Modern, is not actually a direct development of the EC set, and differs from the EC in a number of particulars.
The European currency symbol for the Euro implemented in Metafont, using the official European Commission dimensions, and providing several shapes (normal, slanted, bold, outline). The package also includes a LaTeX package which defines the macro, pre-compiled tfm files, and documentation.
The fonts provide uppercase 'formal' script letters for use as symbols in scientific and mathematical typesetting (in contrast to the informal script fonts such as that used for the 'calligraphic' symbols in the TeX maths symbol font). The fonts are provided as Metafont source, and as derived Adobe Type 1 format. LaTeX support, for using these fonts in mathematics, is available via one of the packages calrsfs and mathrsfs.
The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other platforms. It encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection of TeX macros and font libraries. The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX, as well as the documentation for the included software packages.
The Adobe Standard Encoding set (upright and italic shapes, medium and bold weights) of the Utopia font family, which Adobe donated to the X Consortium. Macro support, and maths fonts that match the Utopia family, are provided by the Fourier and the Mathdesign font packages.
Metafont source for the symbols in several variants, designed to fit with the Computer Modern-set text.
These files are regarded as basic for any TeX system, covering plain TeX macros, Computer Modern fonts, and configuration for common drivers; no LaTeX.
The CM-Super family provides Adobe Type 1 fonts that replace the T1/TS1-encoded Computer Modern (EC/TC), T1/TS1-encoded Concrete, T1/TS1-encoded CM bright and LH Cyrillic fonts (thus supporting all European languages except Greek), and bringing many ameliorations in typesetting quality. The fonts exhibit the same metrics as the Metafont-encoded originals.
Palatino-like fonts in support of mathematics
Pxfonts supplies virtual text roman fonts using Adobe Palatino (or URWPalladioL) with some modified and additional text symbols in the OT1, T1, and TS1 encodings; maths alphabets using Palatino/Palladio; maths fonts providing all the symbols of the Computer Modern and AMS fonts, including all the Greek capital letters from CMR; and additional maths fonts of various other symbols. The set is complemented by a sans-serif set of text fonts, based on Helvetica/NimbusSanL, and a monospace set derived from the parallel TX font set. All the fonts are in Type 1 format (AFM and PFB files), and are supported by TeX metrics (VF and TFM files) and macros for use with LaTeX.
A collection of experimental programs and developments based on, or complementary to, the matter in his distribution directories.
Recommended fonts, including the base 35 PostScript fonts, Latin Modern, TeX Gyre, and T1 and other encoding support for Computer Modern, in outline form.
The Latin Modern family of fonts consists of 72 text fonts and 20 mathematics fonts, and is based on the Computer Modern fonts released into public domain by AMS (copyright (c) 1997 AMS). The lm font set contains a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not exclusively. There is one set of fonts, available both in Adobe Type 1 format (*.pfb) and in OpenType format (*.otf). There are five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: Cork encoding (cork-*.tfm); QX encoding (qx- *.tfm); TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm); T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm); and Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm).
LaTeX support file to use the WASY2 fonts
The WASY2 (Waldi Symbol) font by Roland Waldi provides many glyphs like male and female symbols and astronomical symbols, as well as the complete lasy font set and other odds and ends. The wasysym package implements an easy to use interface for these symbols.
The FPL Fonts provide a set of SC/OsF fonts for URW Palladio L which are compatible with respect to metrics with the Palatino SC/OsF fonts from Adobe. Note that it is not my aim to exactly reproduce the outlines of the original Adobe fonts. The SC and OsF in the FPL Fonts were designed with the glyphs from URW Palladio L as starting point. For some glyphs (e.g. 'o') I got the best result by scaling and boldening. For others (e.g. 'h') shifting selected portions of the character gave more satisfying results. All this was done using the free font editor FontForge. The kerning data in these fonts comes from Walter Schmidt's improved Palatino metrics. LaTeX use is enabled by the mathpazo package, which is part of the psnfss distribution.
Provide Euro values for national currency amounts
Converts arbitrary national currency amounts using the Euro as base unit, and typesets monetary amounts in almost any desired way. Write, e.g., \ATS{17.6} to get something like '17,60 oS (1,28 Euro)' automatically. Conversion rates for the initial Euro-zone countries are already built-in. Further rates can be added easily. The package uses the fp package to do its sums.
