Using Bitstream's ITC Zapf Chancery with LaTeX ====================================================================== 2007-08-24 Michael Gaehrken mgaehrken@gmx.de This archive contains all required files for using Bitstream's ITC Zapf Chancery with LaTeX, with the exception of the font itself, which is _not_ included. The font can be bought from Bitstream, and is included in some versions of CoralDraw. Please note that this bundle supports four styles, in contrast to the single style "Adobe ZapfChancery Medium Italic" supported by the PSNFSS bundle. Furthermore this bundle does not depend on that font. -------------------------- Installation -------------------------- This describtion assumes a TDS-compliant TeX system! 1) Unpack the archive. The archive contains all files in their correct position in a virtual texmf-tree, therefore you only need to move the files to their corresponding location in your local texmf-tree. Some of the directories might have to be created first. 2) Install the PFB-files. At first, you have to rename your fonts according to the following table. Depending on the source of your fonts, they may have different names. Bitstream: Corel: TeX: 0447A___.PFB zafcham.pfb -> bzcm8a.pfb (Medium) 0448A___.PFB zafchami.pfb -> bzcmi8a.pfb (MediumItalic) 0449A___.PFB zafchad.pfb -> bzcd8a.pfb (Demi) 0450A___.PFB zafchab.pfb -> bzcb8a.pfb (Bold) The resulting four PFB-files have to be moved to texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/zapfcha (probably you have to create the directory first) in your local texmf-tree. 3) Update your filename database. If your tex system maintains a filename database, you might have to update manually now. Please consult the documentation of your tex system. 4) Enable the map file. Please consult the documentation of your tex system, how to enable the additional font map "bzc.map", which is located in texmf/dvips/config/ and texmf/fonts/map/dvips. Under teTeX 2.0 and later, run the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map bzc.map For other distributions, please consult your documentation! ------------------- Using the fonts with LaTeX ------------------- The supplied package "bzapfcha.sty" does not change the font by default (see option [default] below). It provides two commands to select Bitstream's ITC Zapf Chancery as current font: \zcfamily: Works like \sffamily and changes the font in the current group \textzc{...}: Works like \textsf{...} and changes the font only for the text given as argument Furthermore the package supports the following options: default: Loads Zapf Chancery as the main serif font scaled=: Loads the font scaled by . Most of the code used in this package is adapted from packages by Walter Schmidt. Using the font without scaling is also possible without the package by simply using the command \fontseries{bzc}\selectfont ----------------------- Shapes and Series ------------------------ bzc: m (medium): n (normal), it (italic) sb (demi): n (normal) b (bold): n (normal) All fonts are available only T1 and TS1 encoded, so you should include the following commands in you preamble: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} Neither OT1 nor LY1 are supported at the moment. ---------------------------- History ----------------------------- 2007-08-24 slightly changed documentation 2006-08-03 wrong series in documentation corrected (now "sb" instead of "d") 2004-12-31 inital release ---------------------------- Legal ----------------------------- This bundle "bzapfcha.tgz" and the included files are Copyright (c) 2004--2007 Michael Gaehrken Distribution of single files prohibited. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Gaehrken mgaehrken@gmx.de
