General Documentation

A short introduction to LaTeX (in German): http://developer.kde.org/~kdvi/DVI/l2kurz.dvi

UZH: mathletter / frutiger fonts

MikTeX 2.7 (Windows)

  • Copy mathletter.sty, unisiegel.eps, unisiegel.pdf (see /scratch/software/tex/unibrief-0.3/) into a subdirectory of your MikTeX-Installation. For example, copy the files to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\uzh if you installed MikTeX into the folder C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\.

  • If you already want to test the mathletter document class, update your 'File Name Database' first. You can do this in your MikTeX settings dialog: Start > Programs > MikTeX > Settings > General > Refresh FNDB.

  • Install the frutiger fonts:

    • Copy the content of /scratch/software/tex/ifi/frutiger.tar.gz to your MikTeX installation directory as follows:

      • files/folders to copy from 'frutiger.tar.gz'

        directory where to copy the files to

        in our example, you would copy the files/folders to

        texmf\dvips\base\frutiger.map

        fonts\map\dvips

        C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\fonts\map\dvips

        texmf\fonts

        fonts

        C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\fonts

        texmf\tex\latex\base

        tex\latex

        C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex

    • Update the 'File Name Database' : Start > Programs > MikTeX > Settings > General > Refresh FNDB

    • Open a shell and execute the following commands in the given order:

      1. mktexlsr

      2. initexmf --edit-config-file updmap

        • This opens up a file called updmap.cfg. Add the following line to the file, save and close it. 

          Map frutiger.map

      3. updmap

  • Done! You can test the mathletter document class with the following example document: http://www.math.uzh.ch/fileadmin/math/divers/mathletter.tex.
