FontPro source distribution
FontPro provides scripts that automatically generate all necessary
files to use Adobe Minion Pro, Adobe Myriad Pro and Adobe Cronos Pro
with (pdf)latex. In contrast to other solutions, the supplied LaTeX
packages provide extensive math support in the case of Minion and
Myriad. The swash letters of CronosPro can be used as mathcal
symbols with MyriadPro’s math (option crswash).
Requirements
The scripts need the LCDF Typetools to
run. Version 2.85 or later is required; certain recent font versions
need version 2.99 or later. Furthermore, standard Unix tools such as
bash, sed and ed are required and the following LaTeX packages,
which are currently included in a complete TeXLive or MikTeX
installation, are necessary:
- fontinst v1.925 or better
- fontaxes package
- MnSymbol for MinionPro, MdSymbol for MyriadPro
- fltpoint package
- tabfigures package (optional)
- fontware package (usually, but not always, comes with your Tex
distribution)
Supported font styles
For the basic set-up (smallfamily LaTeX package option), the regular
and bold face font are required together with their respective italic
version. This set-up can be extended with the semibold face and its
italic (medfamily option), and even further with the medium face and
its italic (fullfamily option).
Furthermore, the optical sizes Caption, Text, Subhead and Display are
supported independently from the set-up above (opticals option).
Here, every font file has to be available in every optical size.
For Myriad Pro, also the light and the black weight can be used (see
documentation).
Extended or condensed font styles are not supported.
Building
The following describes the build process. Here, $ at the beginning
of the line indicates the shell command prompt. Under Windows,
Cygwin is required; either install the LCDF
type tools in Cygwin from source or install the
texlive-font-fontutils package.
-
Put the sources in a folder.
-
Create an otf directory in that folder and copy your OpenType
font files into the otf directory:
$ mkdir otf
$ cp /some/path/*.otf otf
MinionPro and MyriadPro font files normally follow the naming
scheme assumed in the scripts. Make sure that the CronosPro files
are of the form
$FONT-$WEIGHT$SHAPE$OPTICAL.otf
resulting in for example
CronosPro-BoldCapt.otf
CronosPro-BoldDisp.otf
CronosPro-BoldItCapt.otf
CronosPro-BoldItDisp.otf
CronosPro-BoldIt.otf
CronosPro-BoldItSubh.otf
CronosPro-Bold.otf
CronosPro-BoldSubh.otf
CronosPro-Capt.otf
CronosPro-Disp.otf
CronosPro-ItCapt.otf
CronosPro-ItDisp.otf
CronosPro-It.otf
CronosPro-ItSubh.otf
CronosPro-Regular.otf
CronosPro-SemiboldCapt.otf
CronosPro-SemiboldDisp.otf
CronosPro-SemiboldItCapt.otf
CronosPro-SemiboldItDisp.otf
CronosPro-SemiboldIt.otf
CronosPro-SemiboldItSubh.otf
CronosPro-Semibold.otf
CronosPro-SemiboldSubh.otf
CronosPro-Subh.otf
-
Run the main script makeall:
$ ./scripts/makeall $FONT [options]
Currently, $FONT can be MinionPro, MyriadPro or CronosPro.
makeall has some options, which normally you do not need to use.
--verbose show warning messages from otftotfm
--quiet omit these messages (default)
--pack=<glyph-list> explicitly name the glyph list
The glyph list of the last option is used to reduce the number of
generated files and the size of the map file. This speeds up the
compilation slightly but does not affect the output. The default
behaviour without the --pack option is to use the glyph list that
fits to your font version; if this glyph list is not available in
the scripts folder, it can be generated using
generate-glyph-list.sh after a successful build. The --pack
option can only be used if all you font files are of the same
version.
Furthermore, you can specify which metrics to create:
--smallcaps create small caps metrics (default)
--nosmallcaps turn --smallcaps off
--swash create swash metrics (default)
--noswash turn --swash off
--greek create greek metrics (default)
--nogreek turn --greek off
--cyrillic create cyrillic metrics (default)
--nocyrillic turn --cyrillic off
--vietnamese create vietnamese metrics (default)
--novietnamese turn --vietnamese off
--expanded create expanded metrics for pdftex
--noexpanded turn --expanded off (default)
--kern add some missing kerning pairs (default)
--nokern use the original Adobe kerning
--ligatures provide standard ligatures (default)
--noligatures provide no ligatures
--wide-spacing increase the sidebearings of quote glyphs
--narrow-spacing turn --wide-spacing off (default)
The --expanded option allows to use the font expansion feature of
microtype even with pdftex in dvi mode but increases the run-time
of makeall and the number of produced files considerably.
Installing
Under Linux-like environments, use the following commands to install
the font:
-
Run the install script. The default folder is TEXMFLOCAL,
which can be queried by kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFLOCAL'.
$ ./scripts/install
root permissions are usually required in TEXMFLOCAL.
Alternatively, you can specify the directory where the files should
be put, for example in TEXMFHOME. Depending on your system, this
could look like
$ ./scripts/install $HOME/texmf
(If you use a TeX distribution older than 2005 which does not
follow TDS v1.1, uncomment the “old directory folders” in the
install script!)
-
Add $FONT.map to the default font map files by
$ updmap-sys --enable Map=$FONT.map
for a system-wide installation. Use updmap or, on a recent
TeXLive distribution, updmap-user instead of updmap-sys for a
user-based installation.
Under Windows with MikTeX, do the following:
-
Run in the Cygwin Bash
$ ./scripts/install /cygdrive/c/path/to/Miktex
where c/path/to/Miktex is the path to the Miktex installation
tree of choice.
-
In the Windows prompt, issue
initexmf -u
initexmf --admin --edit-config-file updmap
Add the following in the editor:
Map $FONT.map
and save. Afterwards, run
initexmf --mkmaps
Cleaning up of the building folder
If you want to install another font, it is recommended to do a
$ ./scripts/clean
or to start from a fresh building folder.
Usage
Use the FONT with
\usepackage{FONT}
By default, the MinionPro package modifies the default serif and the
main math fonts; the MyriadPro and CronosPro change only the sans
serif font. In the latter case, if you want to use the respective font
as your main document’s font, you probably have to set
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
All valid options of the font packages are included in the
documentation, which is provided in the doc folder and which can
also be generated after installing with
latex $FONT.dtx
The dtx file resides in the tex folder.
If you get errors about insufficient memory you might need to increase
the values of font_mem_size and font_max in your TeX
configuration. For most distributions, these can be changed in the
file texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf. For MiKTeX the file is called
miktex.ini.
