UZH: mathletter / frutiger fonts

MikTeX 2.7 (Windows)

• Copy mathletter.cls, 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\.

• 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

  • 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.

TeXLive (Ubuntu)

• Copy mathletter.cls, unisiegel.eps, unisiegel.pdf (see /scratch/software/tex/unibrief-0.3/) into a subdirectory of your TeXLive-Installation. For example, copy the files to /usr/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/mathletter if you installed TeXLive into the folder /usr/share/texmf-local.

• Install the frutiger fonts:

  • Copy the content of /scratch/software/tex/ifi/frutiger.tar.gz to your TeXLive 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	/usr/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips
      texmf\fonts	fonts	/usr/share/texmf-local/fonts
      texmf\tex\latex\base	tex/latex	/usr/share/texmf-local/tex/latex
