AMSFonts PostScript Fonts (Adobe Type 1 format)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the AMSFonts produced by and
|
||
|
|
previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y, Inc. are now freely
|
||
|
|
available for general use. This has been accomplished through the cooperation
|
||
|
|
of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y.
|
||
|
|
Members of this consortium include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Elsevier Science IBM Corporation Society for Industrial and Applied
|
||
|
|
Mathematics (SIAM) Springer-Verlag American Mathematical Society (AMS)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held by
|
||
|
|
the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any way
|
||
|
|
the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic
|
||
|
|
distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts
|
||
|
|
into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer
|
||
|
|
applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or
|
||
|
|
faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be
|
||
|
|
removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in
|
||
|
|
any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer
|
||
|
|
Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces,
|
||
|
|
has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be
|
||
|
|
given a different name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The AMS does not provide technical support or installation assistance beyond
|
||
|
|
any installation instructions included in this file. Installation and use of
|
||
|
|
these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this READ.ME file
|
||
|
|
in its entirety before undertaking an installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The fonts are available in Macintosh and PFB (binary Type 1) outline
|
||
|
|
formats.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The canonical version of the PostScript AMSFonts is located on
|
||
|
|
the AMS FTP server, ftp.ams.org, at /pub/tex/psfonts/amsfonts.

History
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PostScript versions of the AMSFonts were produced by Blue Sky Research
|
||
|
|
of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord, Massachusetts, who published
|
||
|
|
the fonts in conjunction with their commercial implementations of the TeX
|
||
|
|
program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated
|
||
|
|
character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian
|
||
|
|
Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of
|
||
|
|
Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y
|
||
|
|
(Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font
|
||
|
|
engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and Berthold
|
||
|
|
Horn.
