INSTALLING MATH FONTS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install a math font one should add it to the system fonts or install
|
||
|
|
it in the TeX Live directory structure (or both).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. INSTALLING SYSTEM FONTS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a. WINDOWS
|
||
|
|
Window 7 (or newer): Right click on the font file, choose install
|
||
|
|
option. Windows 98 (or newer): Go to Start, then Control Panel.
|
||
|
|
Double click on Fonts, and drag-and-drop the font file into the Fonts
|
||
|
|
applet window. In MS Windows up to XP, in the Fonts applet, you can
|
||
|
|
also choose File from the menu bar, then Install New Font.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b. APPLE (MAC OS X)
|
||
|
|
The font can be installed by double-clicking on the font file and
|
||
|
|
following the on screen prompts in the Font Book application, or by
|
||
|
|
manually copying (or dragging) the font file to any of the standard
|
||
|
|
Fonts folders in Mac OS: ~/Library/Fonts/ (user fonts), /Library/Fonts/
|
||
|
|
(local fonts) or /System/Library/Fonts/ (system fonts).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
c. LINUX (most of current distributions)
|
||
|
|
Just copy font file to a directory read by font-config. In most cases
|
||
|
|
the directory /usr/local/share/fonts will be adequate (you can also
|
||
|
|
copy the font file to ~/.fonts or /usr/share/fonts ). If the font
|
||
|
|
doesn't appear in the applications font list you can run the fc-cache
|
||
|
|
program in order to force a cache rebuild.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. INSTALLING FONTS IN TEX LIVE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install fonts in the TeX Live system you have to copy it to the
|
||
|
|
appropriate directory: (TEXMF root)/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/public/
|
||
|
|
(you may have to create this directory). When you want install fonts
|
||
|
|
for only one user, you can use the ~/texmf/fonts/opentype directory
|
||
|
|
(this directory also may be nonexistent). After coping the font file,
|
||
|
|
you have to run mktexlsr command to refresh the kpathsea caches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of the typesetting engines can use fonts installed either in OS or
|
||
|
|
in TeX Live. Microsoft Office (Word) uses, of course, only system fonts.
|
||
|
|
XeLaTeX can use both of them. LuaLaTeX and ConTeXt uses TeX Live fonts
|
||
|
|
by default, but if the OSFONTDIR environment variable is set, the
|
||
|
|
system fonts also can be found.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For typesetting math using an OpenType font with (Lua|Xe)LaTeX, an up
|
||
|
|
to date version of the unicode-math package (and related LaTeX3
|
||
|
|
packages) is crucial.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. CHECKING THE INSTALLATION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to verify whether the font installation was successful, you
|
||
|
|
may wish to run the TeX examples or open the relevant MS Word example
|
||
|
|
and compare the results (in case of the Word file, just a previewer is
|
||
|
|
sufficient) with the respective PDF files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that, unlike for TeX, an OTF font is to be referred rather by its
|
||
|
|
internalname(s) than by its file name.
