This mailing list (DOVER-FONT-CHANGES @ MC) now exists and if you got this
|

message you are on it. Mail is logged in the file MC:FONTS;DOVER LOG.
|
||||
|
||||
Please send a brief note to this address if you install a new font or
|
||||
otherwise change the Spruce.Fonts on the dover or the Fonts.Widths on
|
||||
IFS, ITS, or XX. (XX:<FONTS>FONTS.WIDTHS and AI:ML:DM:MC:FONTS;FONTS WIDTHS
|
||||
are the same file; the one on [IFS]<PRINTING>FONTS.WIDTHS (or wherever
|
||||
it is) is not the same currently and only has a few fonts in it.)
|
||||
Also note in your message whether you backed-up the Spruce.Fonts onto
|

the IFS or not; it wants to be backed up in case the Dover's Trident
|

disk goes down, as it does periodically.
|

|

It would be reasonable to discuss proposed changes to the fonts in this

list also, although it doesn't go to all of the people who would want

we will bring the new fonts over this week.

Subject: font cataclysm files.
|
||||
|
||||
The upcoming cataclysm in dover fonts is described in the files
|
||||
mc:dpr;* prs. Those of you who care about these things will
|
||||
find it useful to read this.
|
||||
|
||||
Yesterday, MOON and I discussed the mechanics of future font
|
||||
changes and coordination. The master copies of both the
|
||||
font rasters and the width files will be kept on the IFS.
|
||||
Distribution to ITS's and XX will occur as now. Distribution to alto's
|
||||
will occur by requiring thatalto users get new versions themselves.
|
||||
Distribution to other machines will be worked out. THere will be several
|
||||
versions of widths files, progressively more all-inclusive, eventually.
|
||||
The current font width files will be updated to include more fonts,
|
||||
such as the new TEX fonts, when we get them.
|
||||
|
||||
We will try to make a font catalog happen sometime in the fall. Rather
|
||||
than showing each size of each face, this catalog will contain one
|
||||
page for each face showing the character mapping and shape of one size,
|
||||
and samples of each size that exists (perhaps only one character).
|
||||
|
||||
There are a couple of unanswered questions.
|
||||
|
||||
1) RZ will help resolve the question of what TEX fonts we maintain,
|
||||
once we see what Knuth and Xerox finally come up with.
|
||||
|
||||
2) We now have several other Dover-like devices with incompatible font
|
||||
sets -- the Canon machine on the 4th floor, the Varian on the 4th floor,
|
||||
and the XGP. At the very least, we ought to have some compatibility
|
||||
among these. Even with its problems, if we could standardize on a compatible
|
||||
font set among these, with compatible widths in micas, we'd be a whole
|
||||
lot better off. If software existed to process press files for each of
|
||||
these devices (at least theoretically possible), then we'd be even better
|
||||
off. I'd like reactions to these ideas, if you have any.
|
||||
|
||||
3) We don't really have a good set of font creation tools. I'd really
|
||||
like to know what we do have.
|
||||
|
||||
peace,

Message-id: <[MIT-DMS].156623>
|

|

For making vu-graphs on the DOVER, I am looking for a font similar to
|

FIXED 24PT or 40FG on the XGP. Ideally, I would like about 50 characters
|
||||
across the page plus the ability to retain the indentation format obtained
|

with PRETTYPRINT and with EMACS/RMODE editors. Any pointers would be
|
||||
greatly appreciated. Of special interest is the rumor that someone

(Dave Reed) has 'migrated' fixed-width fonts from XGP to DOVER (if they
|

include large typeface).

David, the Fonts.Widths files that I have prepared for release to the
|
||||
universities give, so far as I am aware, correct and complete width
|
||||
information for all of the fonts in the Dover dictionary that I also
|
||||
prepared for release. Neither of the Dover dictionaries that I have
|
||||
released included any of Don Knuth's TEX fonts (in the Computer
|
||||
Modern family). A very old version of those fonts exists at PARC,
|
||||
and I have heard rumors that some version of unknown vintage
|
||||
exists at MIT. I have just finished hacking on Metafont so that it will
|
||||
produce PARC-style rasters and width information directly. I am
|
||||
now trying to get people to agree on a scalable format for TEX font
|
||||
metric files (.tfx'x); once that is decided, I will hack Metafont to
|
||||
write them, and the PARC version of TEX will be hacked to read and
|
||||
use them. When all this is done, I will release new fonts and widths
|
||||
dictionaries to the universities that will include Knuth's second-edition-
|
||||
of-Volume-II versions of the Computer Modern fonts.

|

Subject: Font cataclysm today.
|
||||
|
||||
Well, the cataclysm happened today. There are two or three
|
||||
remaining problems to be solved.
|
||||
|
||||
1. The fonts.widths has not been distributed to EE, SPEECH,
|
||||
or other such places (the PDP-11's of RTS, ...).
|
||||
This should be no problem since the date mechanism in press
|
||||
files should ensure that the Dover uses the old widths
|
||||
for files produced from old fonts.widths. In case you didn't
|
||||
know, the date field should be initialized from the file
|
||||
creation date of fonts.widths.
|
||||
|
||||
2. We dont have a font catalog for all faces. I have a catalog
|
||||
of all faces that Xerox sent us, since they sent us such
|
||||
a catalog with the cataclysm. If anyone has a way to make a better
|
||||
one (basically, a masp that shows the graphic for each of
|
||||
the 256 chars (yes, some fonts are that big) of a face, and
|
||||
a list of the point sizes we have of that face), please let me know.
|
||||
|
||||
3. There is a minor bug in the Spruce we got as part of the cataclysm.
|
||||
This results in funny "Font XXXNNN substituted for HELVE589" messages
|
||||
that have no effect on the text.
|
||||
|
||||
4. I don't know if it is useful to make a fonts.widths that includes
|
||||
our current TEX fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Does anyone know if the bug in the bounding box for Helvetica MIR
|
||||
was fixed by the new fonts.widths I distributed?
|
||||
|
||||
6. The preceding point raises a more serious problem...different formatters
|
||||
have been using conflicting ways to determine inter-line spacing for
|
||||
fonts. I believe that Bravo separates the baselines by the "point size"
|
||||
of the font, plus the leading. Scribe seems to use the bounding box.
|
||||
Xerox does not really have a standard way to do this, and the problem
|
||||
is clear when you consider how to define the line spacing between two
|
||||
line s of different fonts. Typesetters have a concept of "opening up
|
||||
the lines" in a document that is somewhat subtle...they try not to vary
|
||||
interline spacing unless forced (so a line of smaller font than usual
|
||||
is not squished tightly in between two lines of usual height).
|
||||
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
|
||||
|
||||
Please let me know of any problems. Also please check that your
|
||||
press files are getting the new widths (check the date, in other words).

Re: Font cataclysm today.
|
||||
|
||||
The new FONTS.WIDTHS IS installed on EE and SPEECH. Also, all seven
|
||||
PDP/10's, 20's have <FONTS>FONTS.INFO, which is a program generated
|
||||
summary of FONT.WIDTHS. We still need an online list of what sizes of
|
||||
every font are provided by the Dover, though. No big rush on that I
|
||||
don't think.
|
||||
|
||||
About interline spacing: R determines the interline spacing from the
|
||||
height of the PRINCIPAL font (usually the main text font). That height
|
||||
is taken from the bounding box, and then leading is added in. (Leading
|
||||
is actually expressed as a percent of the bounding box height.) All
|
||||
that is then multiplied by the line spacing factor. So, the normal
|
||||
spacing is:
|
||||
BB * ((100 + LEADING) / 100) * LS
|
||||
However, if this would cause a new line to overlap with an old one, then
|
||||
the new one is forced down just enough to avoid overlap. The above
|
||||
calculation is used in trying to place the baseline of the line. In
|
||||
computing overlap, we have available to us the amount by which the

previous line extends below the baseline, and the amount by which the
|
||||
current line extends above it. The calculations here are a little
|
||||
crude, because we have height information only for each font as a whole,
|
||||
not on a per-character basis. So, sometimes lines will be forced apart
|
||||
needlessly, because the formatter cannot tell that some characters of a
|
||||
given font are not as tall as others. Anyway, this method seems to work
|
||||
well, provided LEADING and/or LS are big enough for what you are doing.
|
||||
However, there is no easy way to convince R NOT to force tall lines
|
||||
apart.
|
||||
|
||||
I have noticed that Spruce is giving many more "page too complex" or
|
||||
"band too big" errors than before. I suspect that the new Spruce has
|
||||
some table sizes reduced. Is that something that you could investigate?
|
||||
Did Xerox give us the sources so that somebody can try to fix bugs?
|
||||
|
||||
[DPR-- I don't know whether there are more page-too-complex messages;

if anyone else discovers this problem I will make it a high priority]

|
||||
|
||||
All: The following is a response from Ramshaw regarding a user's
|
||||
complaint that his interline spacing changed with the new release
|
||||
of fonts. I don't know the offending formatter, but this seems
|
||||
to be Xerox's position on vertical spacing.
|
||||
|
||||
"The new TimesRoman fonts do indeed have a taller font
|
||||
bounding box than the old ones. The offending character is probably
|
||||
the vertical bar, which has been made tall enough and deep enough so
|
||||
that aligned vertical bars in adjacent "normally spaced" lines of
|
||||
TimesRoman will overlap to form a solid vertical rule. The solution to
|
||||
your user's problem is not to let anyone use the height of the font
|
||||
bounding box to decide how much vertical space to put between lines
|
||||
of text. The bounding box height is really the wrong notion for this,
|
||||
since it includes all of the exotic characters in the font as well as the
|
||||
alphabetic ones. Instead, formatters should take the nominal size of the
|
||||
font (10 points for TimesRoman10, say), and adjust it to allow for the
|
||||
amount of interline spacing that is desired.
|
||||
|
||||
[Note: The families TimesRoman and Helvetica are about 10% bigger on
|
||||
paper than they really should be, for historical reasons. Keep this in
|
||||
mind if and when you start measuring interline spacing and trying to
|
||||
adjust it... Life is hard.]"

Re: Fonts
|
||||
|
||||
Having compared the various pieces of information (namely a list of the
|
||||
fonts on the Dover, and a print-out of FONTS.WIDTHS), I have the
|
||||
following proposal to suggest:
|
||||
|
||||
1) That these width entries be deleted from FONTS.WIDTHS, because there
|
||||
are no corresponding fonts on the Dover:
|
||||
DANABOOKB, DANATEN, DANATESTORBIT, DANATWELVE, HYTYPE, NEWFONT,
|
||||
RJP, SYMBOLS
|
||||
[I agree --DPR]
|
||||
2) That width information for these fonts be added to FONTS.WIDTHS,
|
||||
because they might be useful to people using formatters other than TEX:
|
||||
HELVETICASC, TIMESROMANSC
|
||||
[I have never seen these, so I don't know. Advice anyone? --DPR]
|
||||
3) Do we need TIMESROMANMIT and HELVETICAMIT? I think they should
|
||||
probably go away.
|
||||
[These are RMS's fonts and I believe are nearly the same as the "nonMIT" ones,
|
||||
so with some warning they could probably go away. --DPR]
|
||||
4) It is not clear how useful width information for the TEX fonts
|
||||
(CMxxx, SLIDESCMxxx, and TGxxx) would be to other people. Do we want to
|
||||
provide it? I know that R could do all right with it, EXCEPT (and this
|
||||
is a big except) that the space character is not really present, but is
|
||||
a special character, so it might be hard to convince R to do the right
|
||||
thing about spacing, etc.
|
||||
[I await opinions from other knowledgable people --DPR]
|
||||
5) Unless I hear otherwise from you, it would appear that the only fonts
|
||||
for which we do not have samples that we might need samples (for non-TEX
|
||||
users) are: BOX, HELVETICMIT, LPT, TIMESROMANMIT, and also HELVETICASC
|
||||
and TIMEROMANSC if you add them. Assuming that the 2 xxxMIT fonts go
|
||||
away, that leaves BOX and LPT, and the 2 xxxSC fonts. Those are easy.
|
||||
It might be worthwhile to punt LPT, too, if SAIL does the right thing.
|
||||
On the other hand, that change should be done only after consulting more
|
||||
people. However, there is very little difference between SAIL and LPT
|
||||
so far as I know, and if SAIL has been fixed up from before, then maybe
|
||||
we should go with it alone.
|
||||
[SAIL only comes in 8 point, I believe. --DPR]

The following excerpt of my conversation with Dan Swinehart may be relevant

to TEX users in coping with "file too complex" bugs.

|

"2. Our Spruce also goes into Swat on rare occassions, several times
|

recently on Press files produced by TEX. Rumor has it that one
|

reason why TEX Press files tickle this bug is that they request a
|

huge number of fonts, even though they don't use very many. Changing
|

the "basic.tex" to ask for fewer fonts may help you avoid being hassled

by this bug for the moment. Maybe the Spruce wizards will find time

to fix the bug some day soon....."

|

The LPT font family is **NOT** the same as SAIL and **MUST NOT** be deleted.
|
||||
Many people use it heavily. And conversely the SAIL family is not redundant
|
||||
and may not be deleted either.
|
||||
|
||||
I believe the xxxMIT fonts are required for RMS' (and probably other peoples')
|
||||
use of SCRIBE.
|
||||
|
||||
The Fonts.Widths entries for fonts that don't exist should be deleted. The
|
||||
SYMBOLS font has probably been replaced by SYMBOL (which people use; it
|
||||
was installed because someone asked for it.)
|
||||
|
||||
You should either maintain the file FONTS;DOVER FONTS or delete it. It seems
|
||||
to have been superseded by FONTS INFO, **EXCEPT** that the DOVER FONTS file
|
||||
reflects what is actually on the Dover while FONTS INFO appears to have been
|
||||
generated from Fonts.Widths. Also FONTS INFO is in a less concise and readable
|
||||
format. (In the past when I changed the fonts I have generated DOVER FONTS
|
||||
from the output of a Spruce List command by editing out the superfluous
|
||||
information in a straightforward fashion then sorting it alphabetically.)

Subject: Moon's comments
|

To: dover-font-changes at MIT-MC
|
||||
|
||||
I agree with Moon, but thought I would fill you in on exactly what
|
||||
FONTS;DOVER FONTS and FONTS;FONTS INFO are, and why they are both
|
||||
useful. DOVER FONTS is a list of what is actually on the Dover,
|
||||
including point sizes, etc., as generated by PREPRESS (slightly edited
|
||||
by a human to make it more readable). FONTS INFO is a list of what is
|
||||
in FONTS WIDTHS, and for many families says the size is "fractional".
|
||||
This information is what a formatter will see, and fractional means that
|
||||
your formatter will believe in any point size for the font, whether or
|
||||
not it is actually on the Dover. FONTS INFO is generated by the program
|
||||
<FONTS>PRINTFONTS.EXE on XX (the source is <CLU.SUBSYS>PRINTFONTS.CLU).
|
||||
|
||||
To users of formatters other than TEX, both are important. FONTS INFO
|
||||
tells you what your formatter will believe in, and DOVER FONTS tells you
|
||||
what Spruce believes in. Clearly you can use only the intersection.
|
||||
|
||||
Naturally the files are a bit out of sync right now -- because we had
|
||||
not settled all the details, I did not try to make them consistent yet.
|
||||
When we have cleaned things up (i.e., deleted extra entries from FONTS
|
||||
WIDTHS -- the LPT and xxxMIT fonts will stick around, but we might be
|
||||
able to offer TIMESROMANSC and HELEVETICASC (SC = small caps)), I intend
|
||||
to constuct a combination listing by editing the two files together,
|
||||
which will show for each family and face and indication of:
|
||||
|
||||
whether it is fractional
|
||||
the point sizes actually available
|
||||
whether it is a fixed width font
|
||||
|
||||
I propose that this information, a condensed form of the most relevant
|
||||
information of both files, be stored in a file called FONTS;FONTS LIST.
|
||||
Further, I will make sure that each of FONTS INFO, FONTS LIST, and DOVER
|
||||
FONTS has a creation date in it, and that FONTS INFO and DOVER FONTS
|
||||
mention the existence of FONTS LIST, so that people will be directed to
|
||||
the best information. If that is the case, then I may improve
|
||||
PRINTFONTS to generate a readable form of ALL the information in FONTS
|
||||
WIDTHS. This would make FONTS INFO somewhat bigger, but it could be
|
||||
useful to people writing program that hack PRESS format. I don't think
|
||||
it would be useful to the general public. Anybody have any different ot
|
||||
better ideas?

We now have on our dover all of the fonts CMU has added to its
|
||||
dover font catalog. I have not yet, but will, merge the width
|
||||
information into fonts.widths and distribute it soon. But now
|
||||
we can print press files generated at CMU. New fonts include
|
||||
math symbols oriented to the new scribe (if we should ever get
|
||||
it) and several pictorial fonts (creatures, othello, backgammon).
|
||||
Also, several language-oriented fonts are available.
|
||||
|
||||
I am in the process of determining the set of MIT-generated fonts
|
||||
so we can maintain them more effectively. I believe the following
|
||||
list includes all of the MIT-made fonts. Any that you know to be obsolete
|
||||
should be reported to me. I have commented on the obsolescence of some of the
|
||||
following, feel free to send me any comments you have.
|
||||
|
||||
BOX 10
|
||||
HELVETICAMIT 10 (only one size, made by RMS for EMACS manual. Probably would
|
||||
not be needed if SCRIBE handled fonts better. Face same as
|
||||
helvetica 10)
|
||||
HELVETICASC (9,10) (used by TEX hackers -- has caps of a smaller point size
|
||||
where lowercase should be)
|
||||
LPT our lineprinter font (I think Xerox has picked this up).
|
||||
TGATHX,
|
||||
TGB,
|
||||
TGI,
|
||||
TGR,
|
||||
TGS,
|

TGSY,

TGTT,

TUATHX,

TUB,
|
||||
TUI,
|
||||
TUR,
|
||||
TUS,
|
||||
TUSY,
|
||||
TUTT (all fonts for HAL's Turtle Geometry book, probably deleteable after
|
||||
a while)
|
||||
TIMESROMANMIT 10 (another RMS thing)
|
||||
TIMESROMANSC (...) small caps like helveticasc.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, we are now maintaining a lot of old TEX fonts. Some are replaced by
|
||||
a new set that have lots of magnifications. When we flush the old TEX,
|
||||
we can flush these, but I am concerned about fonts called SLIDES... and
|
||||
a couple of others that are not available in the new TEX world. Comments
|
||||
from TEX wizards are invited. I would like to delete the old tex fonts
|
||||
(the ones that are of face MRR, and have only a single magnifaction) ASAP.

XFONT; FONTS RECENT 6:00 pm Saturday, 12 April 1980 (SJOBRG)
|

Following is a list of changes made to the XGP font directories. The changes
|

are effective immediately on all ITS machines and XX. The only affected
|

directories are FONTS, FONTS1, and XFONT; the "user-supported" directory
|
||||
FONTS2 was not cleaned, although some fonts from there may now be flushed.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that we have removed all file links; if there is a pressing need
|
||||
to restore some, that is easily done. Several old versions have disappeared.
|
||||
There have also been some relatively minor name changes. The significant
|
||||
change is that the fonts from XFONT have been moved to FONTS or FONTS1, as
|
||||
indicated below. The four ITS machines and XX should be identical in the
|

contents of the FONTS and FONTS1 directories.
|

a newer version did not correctly supercede an older one. If you suspect

Below is a list of the fonts available on the Dover. The ones marked
|
||||
with an asterisk (*) are NOT available from programs using FONTS.WIDTHS.
|
||||
All the formatters currently in use rely on FONTS.WIDTHS except for TEX.
|
||||
The Computer Modern fonts, designed for TEX, and also all of the rotated
|
||||
fonts, are listed separately, for convenience.
|
||||
|
||||
For each font family we list the point sizes available, and, if
|
||||
relevant, the faces, where faces are indicated with the following
|
||||
abbreviations:
|
||||
R = regular face (implied if no face is mentioned);
|
||||
I = italic; B = bold; BI = bold italic
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Text fonts:
|
||||
|
||||
APL: 8 10
|
||||
The APL characters; fixed width.
|
||||
|
||||
CREAM: 10 12 (R I B BI)
|
||||
Characters with the appearance of hand lettering with an
|
||||
italic artist's pen; variable width.
|
||||
|
||||
CYRILLIC: 10 12 18
|
||||
The Cyrillic alphabet.
|
||||
|
||||
ELITE: 10
|
||||
Looks like a typewriter; fixed width.
|
||||
|
||||
GACHA: 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 (R I B BI)
|
||||
An undistinguished fixed width font similar to SAIL and LPT, but
|
||||
with some differences in the special characters.
|
||||
|
||||
HELVETICA: 3 4 5 (R); 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 18 (R I B BI); 24 36 (R)
|
||||
A sans-serif text font, variable width.
|
||||
|
||||
HELVETICAD: 24 30 36
|
||||
Same as HELVETICA, with letter shapes corrected for larger sizes.
|
||||
(The D = "double".)
|
||||
|
||||
HELVETICAMIT: 10
|
||||
A special case of HELVETICA with the MIT standard graphics for the
|
||||
special characters.
|
||||
|
||||
HELVETICASC (*): 9 10 (R B)
|
||||
HELVETICA small caps.
|
||||
|
||||
HIPPO: 6 8 10 12 14 18
|
||||
Greek font (HIPPO is from Hippocrates, presumably).
|
||||
|
||||
LPT: 6 8 (R); 10 (R B)
|
||||
A fixed width font, to allow the Dover to be used like a line-printer.
|
||||
Unlike most of the other fonts, the character set is the MIT standard
|
||||
extended ascii (sometimes erroneously called the SAIL character set;
|
||||
the latter is different, and available in the SAIL font family).
|
||||
|
||||
MATH: 6 8 10 12 14 18
|
||||
Special math symbols; see also SPLUNK and SYMBOL for more such.
|
||||
|
||||
OLDENGLISH: 10 12 18 24 36 48
|
||||
Ye Old English letters.
|

||||
TimesRoman adjusted for the larger sizes. (D = "double")
|
||||
|
||||
TIMESROMANMIT: 10
|
||||
A special case of TimesRoman with the MIT standard graphics for the
|
||||
special characters.
|
||||
|
||||
TIMESROMANSC (*): 9 10
|
||||
TimesRoman small caps.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
TEX fonts:
|
||||
|
||||
These fonts are currently used only by TEX, though that may change in
|
||||
the future. Unlike fonts originating from Xerox, these fonts use a different
|
||||
family for the different faces, for reasons we will not explore here. For
|
||||
reference, CM = Computer Modern, SLIDES = large fonts for use on viewgraphs,
|
||||
etc., TG = Times Gothic, i.e., TimesRoman.
