============================================================
eulervm v4.0, 2005-01-11
The Virtual Euler Math fonts and the LaTeX package eulervm
============================================================
Walter Schmidt
w-a-schmidt(at)gmx.net
The well-known Euler math fonts (designed by H. Zapf) are
suitable for math typesetting in conjunction with a variety
of text fonts which do not provide math character sets of
their own.
Euler-VM is a set of _virtual_ math fonts based on Euler and
CM. This approach has several advantages over immediately
using the _real_ Euler fonts: Most noticeably, less TeX
resources are consumed, the quality of various math symbols
is improved, and a usable \hslash symbol can be provided.
The fonts are accompanied by a LaTeX package which makes
them easy to use, particularly in conjunction with Type 1
(PostScript) text fonts.
To install Euler-VM, copy all files from the distribution
to the corresponding directories of your TeX system.
The documentation is provided as a ready-made PDF file with
A4 media size in the directory doc/latex/eulervm.
It describes only the user interface. To include also the
implementation details or to typeset it on a different media
size, run the source file file eulervm.dtx through LaTeX,
using an appropriate configuration file ltxdoc.cfg.
The fontinst sources
--------------------
The directory source/latex/eulervm/fontinst contains the
sources of the virtual fonts, including a `makefile'. You
need these files only in case you want to rebuild or modify
the fonts. The following .pl files are required
additionally:
cmbsy10.pl cmmi10.pl cmr5.pl eufb5.pl eurb7.pl
cmbsy5.pl cmmi5.pl cmr7.pl eufb7.pl eurm10.pl
cmbsy7.pl cmmi7.pl cmsy10.pl eufm10.pl eurm5.pl
cmbx10.pl cmmib10.pl cmsy5.pl eufm5.pl eurm7.pl
cmbx5.pl cmmib5.pl cmsy7.pl eufm7.pl eusb10.pl
cmbx7.pl cmmib7.pl euex10.pl eurb10.pl eusb5.pl
cmex10.pl cmr10.pl eufb10.pl eurb5.pl eusb7.pl
eusm10.pl eusm5.pl eusm7.pl euex7.pl cmex7.pl

later version. The latest version of this license is in

The list of all files belonging to the `Euler-VM Bundle' is
given in the file doc/latex/eulervm/manifest.txt.
History
-------
2005-01-11, v4.0
Distributon re-arraged \`a la TDS.
An obscure bug, affecting the extensible symbols in the
font zeuex10, has been fixed. (See eumx.etx)
A bug in the fontinst script fontevm.tex, which would
prevent it from being processed by newer versions of the
fontinst program, has been fixed.
Slightly corrected vertical symmetry axis in formulas.
Ready-made documentation in PDF format to show the
Euler-VM fonts in use.
NB: The macro package and the fd files are unchanged,
except for the version number.
2004-01-07, v3.0a
The package does no longer redefine \vdots and \ddots,
because fixing these macros should be left to the package
mathdots.sty. Virtual fonts and font metrics are
unchanged.
Documentation updated wrt/ email address and CTAN links.
2003-06-10, v3.0
The symbols \leq and \geq now show the shape that is
preferred by DEK in conjunction with the Euler fonts.
(Credits to Frank Mittelbach for pointing me to this!)
The width of the symbols is unchanged.
The option [small] now acts on the AMS fonts, too, so
there are no more restrictions affecting the usage of
amssymb.sty in conjunction with the Euler-VM fonts.
Slightly changed mapping of font sizes to design sizes
used. Particularly, when a math font with a size of 8pt
is requested, we are now going to scale up a 7pt font,
rather than scaling down a 10pt one. This should improve
the appearance of documents with a normal font size of
11pt, where 8pt is used for super- and subscripts.
Strictly speaking, this is an incompatible change, but I
hope that the amount of practical problems is tolerable,
as compared with the improvement.
Fixed Makefile so as not to install the auto-generated .fd
files, which are lacking the code for the [small] option.
VFs and TFMs were now generated with fontinst v1.914, so
that the metrics may have changed sligthly, because of
improved rounding algorithm. This may cause problems when
procesing existing DVI files.
2003-03-02, v2.9b
\hbar produces an appropriate warning message now,
as suggested by FMi.
Additional math symbols \upOmega and \upDelta with type
\mathord, to protect against problems with the packages
gensymb and units.
Small changes to the documentation.
Note that the virtual fonts are unchanged.
2002-11-13, v2.9a
Virtual fonts: \epsilon and \varepsilon are no longer
mixed up.
Macro package: The slash, when used as a math delimiter,
is now taken from the Euler Roman font, rather than from
the text font.
Documentation: Minor fixes and additions.
2002-03-10, v2.8
Use \familydefault for the operators font, rather
than \rmdefault. Minor code cleanup.
2001-04-10, v2.7
The option [icomma] is still available, however
undocumented. The package icomma.sty from the CTAN
directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/was/ should
be used instead.
2001-03-06, v2.6
Bug fixes: eulervm.sty should now work with amsmath 2.x,
regardless of the sequence of loading; \ldots, \vdots,
\ddots and the period are taken from the same fonts now,
according to the euler-digits option; improved algorithm
for the intelligent comma.
New feature: With the package option [small], the Euler
fonts will be used at 95% of their nominal size, thus
blending better with certain text fonts such as Minion.
The virtual fonts are unchanged. When installing v2.6
over v2.2, only the package file and the .fd files need to
be replaced.
2000-02-02, v2.2
Bug fixes: Use Euler script for \mathcal, instead of
CM-Calligraphic; added missing bold symbols; improved
documentation.
2000-01-19, v2.1
first public release
