It does, however, _not_ include the actual Type1 fonts, which are to be purchased. In particular, use of the following fonts is supported: ConcordeBE-Regular ConcordeBE-Italic ConcordeBE-Medium ConcordeBE-MediumItalic ConcordeBE-RegularExp ConcordeBE-ItalicExp ConcordeBE-MediumExp ConcordeBE-MediumItalicExp Note that the ConcordeBE fonts belong to the "Adobe Berthold Exklusiv Collection"; they are to be distinguished from the ConcordeBQ fonts, which belong to the "Berhold Quality Collection". The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant TeX system, such as teTeX, fpTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free. The directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of the TDS directory tree. In case your TeX systems has more than one such directory tree, the documentation should tell you where to install new files. Change Log ---------- 2004-08-08 Fixed a potential bug in the macro package 2004-01-18 Improved kerning data. Faked Euro symbol. Location of font map file poc.ali changed to texmf/fonts/map/vtex/poc.ali. xconcorde.sty: default scaling ratio changed to 92% Removing obsolete files ----------------------- In case you are going to install this collection over a previous release, please make sure that the directory texmf/tex/latex/adobe/concorde/ and the files texmf/doc/latex/adobe/concorde.txt texmf/vtex/config/poc.ali are deleted before. Installing the Type1 font files ------------------------------- The Type1 font files, as supplied by Berthold, are to be renamed for use with TeX: PostScript-FontName: Berthold: TeX: ConcordeBE-Regular qqrg____.pfb -> pocr8a.pfb ConcordeBE-Italic qqi_____.pfb -> pocri8a.pfb ConcordeBE-Medium qqm_____.pfb -> pocm8a.pfb ConcordeBE-MediumItalic qqmi____.pfb -> pocmi8a.pfb ConcordeBE-RegularExp qqrgx___.pfb -> pocr8x.pfb ConcordeBE-ItalicExp qqixp___.pfb -> pocri8x.pfb ConcordeBE-MediumExp qqmxp___.pfb -> pocm8x.pfb ConcordeBE-MediumItalicExp qqmix___.pfb -> pocmi8x.pfb The .pfb files are to be copied to the directory texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/concorde of your TeX system. The related .afm files are to be renamed accordingly; install them into the directory texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/concorde . You may need to create these directories first. Installing the TeX support files from the archive poc.zip --------------------------------------------------------- Unpack the ZIP archive poc.zip in the directory "texmf" of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the appropriate directories. Updating the filename database ------------------------------ Certain TeX systems require manually updating of a "filename database" after adding of new files. Please, consult the documentation of your TeX system! Configuring your TeX system --------------------------- | | You need not repeat this step, when updating from a | previous release of this collection! | The present distribution comprises several font map files for the Berthold ConcordeBE fonts. You need to configure your TeX system so that these files are actually used. The required steps depend on the particular TeX system. Particular sets of instructions are provided below for the following systems: * teTeX * VTeX/Free With other TeX systems such as MikTeX, consult the related documentation how to install an additional font map file. The name of the map file to be used for ConcordeBE is "poc.map". Two copies of this file reside in the directories texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips. Configuring teTeX ----------------- Additional font map files are installed using the shell script "updmap". With teTeX-2.0 and later (or teTeX-beta as of June 2002 and later) execute the following commands: texhash updmap --enable Map poc.map With earlier versions of teTeX, consult its documentation how to use the "updmap" script. In case your version of teTeX has no such script at all, please consult the teTeX docmentation how to install the additional map file poc.map. Configuring VTeX/Free (v8.00 and later) --------------------------------------- Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file poc.ali. This is usually accomplished by putting a record for poc.ali into each of the configuration files texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm The name "poc.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the above-mentioned files: TYPE1 { ... poc.ali } Using the ConcordeBE fonts with LaTeX ------------------------------------- See the file concorde.txt, which resides in the directory texmf/doc/fonts/adobe. Legal notice ------------ The ConcordeBE font pack is made up from the files poc.txt and poc.zip.
