The TeX-GYRE bundle consists of six font families: TeX Gyre Adventor is based on the URW Gothic L family of fonts (which is derived from ITC Avant Garde Gothic, designed by Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase). TeX Gyre Bonum is based on the URW Bookman L family (from Bookman Old Style, designed by Alexander Phemister). TeX Gyre Chorus is based on URW Chancery L Medium Italic (from ITC Zapf Chancery, designed by Hermann Zapf in 1979). TeX-Gyre Cursor is based on URW Nimbus Mono L (based on Courier, designed by Howard G. Kettler in 1955, for IBM). TeX Gyre Heros is based on URW Nimbus Sans L (from Helvetica, prepared by Max Miedinger, with Eduard Hoffmann in 1957). TeX Gyre Pagella is based on URW Palladio L (from Palatino, designed by Hermann Zapf in the 1940s). TeX Gyre Schola is based on the URW Century Schoolbook L family (which was designed by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders). TeX Gyre Termes is based on the URW Nimbus Roman No9 L family of fonts (whose original, Times, was designed by Stanley Morison together with Starling Burgess and Victor Lardent and first offered by Monotype). The constituent standard faces of each family have been greatly extended, and contain nearly 1100 glyphs each (though Chorus omits Greek support, has no small-caps family and has approximately 800 glyphs). Each family is available in Adobe Type 1 and Open Type formats, and LaTeX support (for use with a variety of encodings) is provided. Vietnamese characters were added by Han The Thanh. There are companion maths fonts for several of these designs, listed in the TeX Gyre Math package.
This bundle provides a collection of model .ini files for creating TeX formats. These files are commonly used to introduced distribution-dependent variations in formats. They are also used to allow existing format source files to be used with newer engines, for example to adapt the plain e-TeX source file to work with XeTeX and LuaTeX.
TeX is a typesetting system that incorporates a macro processor. A TeX source document specifies or incorporates a number of macro definitions that instruct the TeX engine how to typeset the document. The TeX engine also uses font metrics generated by Metafont, or by any of several other mechanisms that incorporate fonts from other sources into an environment suitable for TeX. TeX has been, and continues, a basis and an inspiration for several other programs, including e-TeX and PDFTeX.
Documentation for texlive-common
TeX Live manual (English).
This package contains the translated messages of the TeX Live installer and TeX Live Manager. For information on creating or updating translations, see http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html#install-tl-xlate.
Includes install-tl, tl-portable, rungs, etc.; not needed for tlmgr to run but still ours. Not included in tlcritical.
This package contains the files needed to get the TeX Live tools (notably tlmgr) running: perl modules, xz binaries, plus (sometimes) tar and wget. These files end up in the standalone install packages, and in the tlcritical repository.
texlive-texmf is a texmf distribution based upon TeX Live. All of the files contained in these packages are from the TeX Live zip files. The intent is to provide a packaging similar in style and layout to teTeX.
This package contains the components of the TEXMF tree needed for the texlive-afm package.
