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:
mktexlsr
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
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

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map frutiger.map
Done! You can test the mathletter document class with the following example document: http://www.math.uzh.ch/fileadmin/math/divers/mathletter.tex.
Math UZH Logo in Beamer Class
In order to include the Math UZH logo in your presentation, download the files imath-tex-logo.png and imath-tex-logo.eps to the directory where your LaTeX presentation source file resides.
Add the following lines right below the \documentclass line
\pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{logo}{imath-tex-logo}
\logo{\pgfuseimage{logo}}After processing the file with LaTeX, the DVI or PDF will show the logo on every frame.
Example
\documentclass{beamer}
\pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{logo}{imath-tex-logo}
\logo{\pgfuseimage{logo}}
