a2ac, ver. 2, Juni 1995, Petr Olsak (Ol\v{s}\'ak), olsak@math.feld.cvut.cz --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The program a2ac (Afm To Afm plus Composites) enables to use PostScript fonts while typesetting texts in languages where accented letters are used. The font doesn't need to contain complete alphabet of a given language; the presence of mere accents themselves (no whole accented characters) is sufficient. The configuration files of the a2ac program are independent on the PostScript font encoding and on the typesetting system encoding. The program may be used to prepare a font for any typesetting system, but only \TeX{} was tested. Program was compiled for operation systems SUN OS, Linux and on DOS. May be, the program will work in others systems with C compiler. This package included following files: a2ac.c ... the source text in C language a2ac.exe ... the executable for DOS a2ac-eng.doc ... the English documentation a2ac-cz.doc ... the Czech documentation cscorr.tab ... an example of config file for a2ac (for Czech and Slovak) xl2.enc ... enc file for afm2tfm (\rm-like CS-encoding) xt2.enc ... enc file for afm2tfm (\tt-like CS-encoding) mkfnt ... a UNIX script for font preparing for TeX (CS-encoding) mkallfnt ... a UNIX script prepares 32 standard PostScript font test.tex ... test for 32 standard PostScript font in Czech and Slovak. README ... this file Program can be compiled in UNIX-like systems by the following line: cc a2ac.c -lm -o a2ac The make file is not necessary. Copyright: Program can be free used and distributed if the package is complete, i.e. all 11 files mentioned above are present without changes. The program cannot be included into greater packages without author's confirmation. The bug reports send me to my addres olsak@math.feld.cvut.cz, please. Notice: An article about this program was sent to TUG-boat editor and czech variant to TeXbulletin editor. Known bugs: The UNIX man page is not present now.
