CTAN: tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive +--------------------------------------+ | THE COMPREHENSIVE LATEX SYMBOL LIST | | By Scott Pakin, [email protected] | | | | 09 November 2009 | +--------------------------------------+ The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List is an organized list of over 5900 symbols commonly available to LaTeX users. Some of these symbols are guaranteed to be available in every TeX distribution. Others require font files that come with some, but not all, TeX distributions. The rest require font files that must be downloaded explicitly from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org/) and installed. The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List currently showcases symbols from 130 separate typefaces. The same directory that contains this README file should also contain SYMLIST (an ASCII list of symbols that appear in the symbols list) and prebuilt versions of the symbol list for both A4 and U.S. Letter sized paper. If you'd like to build symbols.tex yourself (not recommended for normal use), a Makefile is provided. symbols.tex tries to be smart about fonts; it omits tables of symbols that require (seemingly) unavailable fonts. The "Document Characteristics" table at the end of the document lists the packages that were unavailable during the build. The prebuilt versions of the symbol list use primarily Type 1 fonts. Type 1 fonts are scalable and should look good at any resolution and on any output device. However, some of the fonts used by symbols.tex are available only in a METAFONT-generated bitmap format. The prebuilt symbol lists utilize 1200 DPI versions of all of the bitmapped fonts as 1200 DPI is a reasonably high printer resolution. Unfortunately, older (pre-6.0) versions of Adobe Acrobat render bitmapped fonts positively dreadfully on screen. Nevertheless, all versions of Acrobat manage to *print* bitmapped fonts with no trouble. The bitmapped fonts used to prepare the PDF versions of the symbol list are the following: ar10.mf ar9.mf ark10.mf ark10.mf b
