License
-------
culmus-latex is released under the term of the GPL version 2, or
(at your option) any later version. See GNU-GPL (distributed in this
package) for more details.
This license only refers to the package itself. Terms of use and license of the
Culmus fonts that come with this package (if you received a package that
provides them) is covered in the file LICENSE-Culmus.
Requirements
------------
- teTex-3.0 (may also work on older version but untested). TeXLive 2007
is recommended.
- The "Culmus" fonts package.
Installation
------------
To install culmus-latex untar the package and cd into the
package's directory and execute:
$ make
# make install
The second command must be done as root. The installation process
assumes that the texmf dir resides in /usr/share/texmf and that the
culmus fonts reside in /usr/share/fonts/hebrew . To override this
settings append to the above command "CULMUSDIR=/path/to/culmus/" and/or
"TEXMFDIR=/path/to/texmf" (both without the quotes). For example installing
into a local texmf (assuming TeXLive 2012):
$ make install TEXMFDIR=~/.local/texlive/texmf-local/
After the installation was done you may want to clean some temporary
files created during the setup process. You can do it by executing
"make clean" (without the quotes). Keep the other files if you intend to
unistall the package at a later time.
Uninstallation may be done by issuing "make uninstall"
Notes to Ubuntu users:
You will need the texlive-font-utils package in order to install culmus-latx.
The following commands should do it (at least for 7.04 and 7.10):
sudo apt-get install texlive-font-utils
make CULMUSDIR=/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/ TEXMFDIR=/usr/share/texmf-texlive/
sudo make install CULMUSDIR=/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/ TEXMFDIR=/usr/share/texmf-texlive/
Notes to Packagers
------------------
Packagers might be interested in using "make pgkinstall" instead of
"make install" of source packages under systems that enforce a sandbox
policies (like Gentoo) during installation. It will cause the setup
process not to do mktexlsr and updmap. Those command should be done
later on those systems.
While installing the package requires the culmus fonts, after the
installation was done there is no need anymore for the culmus package.
Usage
-----
The package provides the culmus.sty package, you can enable the culmus
fonts as the default fonts in your document by adding
"\usepackage{culmus}" to the document preabmle.
You can also change the font-family manully without using the culmus
package. Just add the following line:
\fontfamily{frank}\selectfont
to alter the font-family used in the document from this line onward.
Using "frank" is one of the several font-family names available. Others
include: aharoni, miriam, david, nachlieli, ellinia, yehuda, drugulin.
Change Log
----------
culmus-latex-0.7
- Default font size was adjusted (now bigger) so documents written in older
packages will look the same in culmus-latex. This action can be reversed by
paasing the "small-size" option to the package.
- Add package optio (use-david) that allows to select David as the default
roman font.
- Makefile target to create tarballs that don't require the Culmus fonts or
fontutils in order to install.
- Made culmus-latex work correctly with the Latin Modern package.
- Disabled unnecessary creation of folders.
- Added new example.
culmus-latex-0.6
- Add support for nikud
- Automatic recognition of TEXMF and CULMUSDIR settings.
- Add support for DESTDIR in the Makefile
culmus-latex-0.5
- Name change.
tetex-fonts-hebrew-0.2
- Several pathces for fixing the package on some distributions.
- Uninstall script.
- New maintainer.
tetex-fonts-hebrew-0.1
- Original package by Dan Kenigsberg.
Many thanks should go to Dan Kenigsberg for making this package in the
first place.
