How to use the TeX Gyre fonts with LaTeX-based engines[1]? -------------------------------------------------------------- By adding: For TeX Gyre Adventor: \usepackage{tgadventor} For TeX Gyre Bonum: \usepackage{tgbonum} For TeX Gyre Cursor: \usepackage{tgcursor} For TeX Gyre Heros: \usepackage{tgheros} For TeX Gyre Pagella: \usepackage{tgpagella} For TeX Gyre Schola: \usepackage{tgschola} For TeX Gyre Termes: \usepackage{tgtermes} Please don't forget to select a suitable font encoding. For example, for most texts using the latin script you should include: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} in the preamble. [1] By LaTeX-based engine, I mean a program such as latex or pdflatex. How to use the TeX Gyre fonts with TeX? --------------------------------------- If you are using TeX directly, you should know that. ;-) You can find the name of the fonts as far as TeX sees them with the following command (this assumes lmodern is installed): dpkg -L tex-gyre | grep '\.tfm$' | sed 's@.*/\([^/]\{1,\}\)\.tfm$@\1@' Then, to use Termes Roman in T1 encoding (Cork), for instance, you can do: \font\Myfont=ec-qtmr {\Myfont Sample text in ec-qtmr Termes} However, you should be aware that ec-qtmr being T1-encoded makes things difficult when using TeX directly; you cannot access all its characters as easily as with the LaTeX packages 'inputenc' and 'fontenc'. For instance, things such as \'e will probably not do what you would like. The PFM files are not included ------------------------------ The upstream tarball of the TeX Gyre fonts comes with PFM files (Printer Font Metrics). As they seem to be hardly ever used in the free software world, they are not included in this Debian package in order to save space. The package contains the AFM files (Adobe Font Metrics) however, which should be equivalent to the PFM files but are much more common in the free software world in my experience. If you have a reason to think that the PFM files should be included, please contact me. -- Norbert Preining , Thu Aug 23 19:03:35 CEST 2007
