All along, of course, I have been using FontForge to develop the actual characters of the font.<\/p>\n<div>I have set up TeX Live under Ubuntu Linux. The basic installation of TeX and LaTeX is working well. I am using Texmaker as the GUI application for LaTeX.<br \/>\n<!--more-->I have developed five main character sets for the Ablbeebl font:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>fabr8a &#8211; roman, normal<\/li>\n<li>fabbr8a &#8211; roman, bold<\/li>\n<li>fabr8a &#8211; roman, math italic<\/li>\n<li>fabrs8a &#8211; gothic, (sans serif), normal<\/li>\n<li>fabbs8a &#8211; gothic, bold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these are based on Donald Knuth&#8217;s Computer Modern font. The five sets of characters above are a sufficient set for me to publish my ideas in relation to Ablbeebl as a font based loosely on symmetry. Slanted forms and bold slanted forms can be produced readily from these, in principle. If necessary, I can produce these variations very quickly using FontForge.<\/p>\n<p>As of 11th November, 2007, I am still working on the gothic bold characters. This is a tedious process and it takes a lot of time.<\/p>\n<p>Incorporating the Type 1 Ablbeebl font into TeX \/ LaTeX is quite a challenge. I have put a great deal of time and effort into this and progress has been painfully slow. One of the main references I am using is the Font Installation Guide by Philipp Lehman, December 2004, revision 2.14, which is available on the internet. In principle I do not want to know too much about the intricacies of setting up fonts for LaTeX under TeX Live. However, I have been forced to dig deeper and deeper in pursuing my desired outcome, which is principally to produce a publishable paper in the TeX format of the American Mathematical Society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been putting a lot of work and time into setting up the Latex side of the Ablbeebl project on Linux.
