Binaries for tetex
teTeX was a comprehensive distribution of TeX, LaTeX and family, designed for ease of compilation, installation and customisation. In 2006, Thomas Esser announced he would no longer be able to support, or to produce new versions of, teTeX. With the appearance of TeX live 2007 (whose Unix-system TeX support originally derived from teTeX), no-one should be using teTeX at all, in new applications. One of the "schemes" available when installing TeX live provides a configuration very close to that of the old teTeX, but using modern versions of programs and packages. date: 2012-09-11 08:43:58 +0200

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.
TeX-Gyre-Math is a collection of maths fonts to match the text fonts of the TeX-Gyre collection. The collection is available in OpenType format, only; fonts conform to the developing standards for OpenType maths fonts. TeX-Gyre-Math-Bonum (to match TeX-Gyre-Bonum), TeX-Gyre-Math-Pagella (to match TeX-Gyre- Pagella), TeX-Gyre-Math-Schola (to match TeX-Gyre-Schola) and TeX-Gyre-Math-Termes (to match TeX-Gyre-Termes) fonts are provided.
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.
