• INSTALL

• Installation for XFree86 (X.Org)
  --------------------------------
  
  Unpack the archive file containing fonts in some temporal directory, for
  example /tmp :
  
  cd /tmp
  tar xzvf cm_unicode-VERSION-pfb.tar.gz
  cd cm-unicode-VERSION
  
  where VERSION is version number of this font pack.
  Then create cm-unicode/ directory at the place, where your X stores fonts, for example 
  /usr/share/fonts :
  
  mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode
  
  You should become root to do it. Then copy font files there:
  
  cp *.afm /usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode/
  cp *.pfb /usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode/
  
  If you are using XFree86 prior to 4.3 you shoul also copy fonts.scale there.
  Then change directory to /usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode/ :
  
  cd /usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode/
  
  and do
  
  mkfontscale # if you are using XFree86-4.3 or later or recent X.Org
  mkfontdir
  
  Currently mkfontscale and mkfontdir may produce errors, so copy
  fonts.dir and fonts.scale files supplied into 
  /usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode/
  
  Then add  
  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode/"  
  to "Files" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (/etc/X11/XF86Config). On the
  next run X.Org (XFree86) will load these  fonts.
  
  If you are using fontconfig (X.Org, XFree86-4.3, may be installed on 
  XFree86-4.2) you should add a line
  <dir>/usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode</dir>
  to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf or better to /etc/fonts/local.conf then run
  
  fc-cache
  
  
  Installation for ghostscript 
  ----------------------------
  (Optional, modern versions of ghostscript retreive information from fontconfig)
  
  
  Assuming that you have rather new ghostscript version like 7.x go to
  default ghostscript font directory, typically /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts, then
  add links to fonts installed for X or copy them:
  
  cd /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
  ln -s /usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode/*.afm .
  ln -s /usr/share/fonts/cm-unicode/*.pfb .
  
  Then go to the ghostscript library directory, for example 
  
  cd /usr/share/ghostscript/?.??/lib
  
  where ?.?? is ghostscript version. Copy Fontmap.CMU from tarball:
  
  cp /tmp/cm_unicode-VERSION/Fontmap.CMU .
  
  Then add following line to Fontmap file:
  
  (Fontmap.CMU) .runlibfile
  
  Note that pdfwriter from ghostscript versions prior to 8.x does not
  understand characters not existing in the encoding. These fonts were
  tested with ps2pdf script from AFPL ghostscript-8.14.
  
  That's all.
