The well-known Euler math fonts (designed by H. Zapf) are
suitable for math typesetting in conjunction with a variety
of text fonts which do not provide math character sets of
their own.

Euler-VM is a set of _virtual_ math fonts based on Euler and
CM.  This approach has several advantages over immediately
using the _real_ Euler fonts:  Most noticeably, less TeX
resources are consumed, the quality of various math symbols
is improved, and a usable \hslash symbol can be provided.

The fonts are accompanied by a LaTeX package which makes
them easy to use, particularly in conjunction with Type 1
(PostScript) text fonts.



Installing
----------
Note that both the macro package and the fonts (*.vf, *.tfm)
are to be updated, when installing version 3.0 over an
erlier one.

* Run the installation script eulervm.ins through LaTeX.  

* Move the resulting .sty and .fd files to a directory where
  TeX searches for input files; in a TDS compliant system
  this should be:
  
             texmf/tex/latex/eulervm
             
  In case you have properly set up your docstrip program,
  and the above directory exists already, this is done
  automagically!

* Move all files from tfm to a directory where TeX searches
  for font metrics.  In a TDS compliant system this should
  be:
             texmf/fonts/tfm/public/eulervm
  
* Move all files from vf to a directory where dvips
  searches for virtual fonts.  In a TDS compliant system
  this should be:
  
             texmf/fonts/vf/public/eulervm

* Run the file eulervm.dtx through LaTeX, this will create
  the documentation.  Move the resulting DVI (PS, PDF) file
  to a suitable place.  In a TDS compliant TeX system this
  should be:
  
             texmf/doc/latex/eulervm



The fontinst sources
--------------------
The directory fontinst contains the sources of the virtual
fonts, including a `makefile'.  You need these files only in
case you want to rebuild or modify the fonts.  The following
.pl files are required additionally:

cmbsy10.pl  cmmi10.pl   cmr5.pl     eufb5.pl    eurb7.pl
cmbsy5.pl   cmmi5.pl    cmr7.pl     eufb7.pl    eurm10.pl
cmbsy7.pl   cmmi7.pl    cmsy10.pl   eufm10.pl   eurm5.pl
cmbx10.pl   cmmib10.pl  cmsy5.pl    eufm5.pl    eurm7.pl
cmbx5.pl    cmmib5.pl   cmsy7.pl    eufm7.pl    eusb10.pl
cmbx7.pl    cmmib7.pl   euex10.pl   eurb10.pl   eusb5.pl
cmex10.pl   cmr10.pl    eufb10.pl   eurb5.pl    eusb7.pl
eusm10.pl   eusm5.pl    eusm7.pl



History
-------
2003-06-10, v3.0
  The symbols \leq and \geq now show the shape that is
  preferred by DEK in conjunction with the Euler fonts.
  (Credits to Frank Mittelbach for pointing me to this!)
  The width of the symbols is unchanged.
  
  The option [small] now acts on the AMS fonts, too, so
  there are no more restrictions affecting the usage of
  amssymb.sty in conjunction with the Euler-VM fonts.
  
  Slightly changed mapping of font sizes to design sizes
  used.  Particularly, when a math font with a size of 8pt
  is requested, we are now going to scale up a 7pt font,
  rather than scaling down a 10pt one.  This should improve
  the apprearance of documents with a normal font size of
  11pt, where 8pt is used for super- and subscripts.
  Strictly speaking, this is an incompatible change, but I
  hope that the amount of practical problems is tolerable,
  as compared with the improvement.
  
  Fixed Makefile so as not to install the auto-generated FD
  files, which are lacking the code for the [small] option.
  
  VFs and TFMs were now generated with fontinst v1.914, so
  that the metrics may have changed sligthly, because of
  improved rounding algorithm.  This may cause problems when
  procesing existing DVI files.

  
2003-03-02, v2.9b
  \hbar produces an appropriate warning message now,
  as suggested by FMi.
  Additional math symbols \upOmega and \upDelta with type 
  \mathord, to protect against problems with the packages 
  gensymb and units.
  Small changes to the documentation.
  Note that the virtual fonts are unchanged.

2002-11-13, v2.9a
  Virtual fonts: \epsilon and  \varepsilon are no longer
  mixed up.
  Macro package:  The slash, when used as a math delimiter,
  is now taken from the Euler Roman font, rather than from
  the text font.  
  Documentation:  Minor fixes and additions.
 
2002-03-10, v2.8
  Use \familydefault for the operators font, rather
  than \rmdefault.  Minor code cleanup.
  
2001-04-10, v2.7
  The option [icomma] is still available, however 
  undocumented.  The package icomma.sty from the CTAN 
  directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/was/ should 
  be used instead.
  
2001-03-06, v2.6
  Bug fixes:  eulervm.sty should now work with amsmath 2.x,
  regardless of the sequence of loading; \ldots, \vdots,
  \ddots and the period are taken from the same fonts now,
  according to the euler-digits option; improved algorithm
  for the intelligent comma.
  
  New feature:  With the package option [small], the Euler
  fonts will be used at 95% of their nominal size, thus 
  blending better with certain text fonts, e.g. Minion.
  
  Note that the virtual fonts are unchanged; when installing
  v2.6 over v2.2, only the package file and the .fd files
  need to be replaced.
  
2000-02-02, v2.2
  Bug fixes:  Use Euler script for \mathcal, instead of
  CM-Calligraphic;  added missing boldface symbols;
  improved documentation.

2000-01-19, v2.1
  first public release
