This is a very nice system for editing in Emacs and typesetting in LaTeX. There are a few questions related to the system below and to typesetting of APL in LaTeX and in general.
What is the origin of cmapl10.mf? Is it possible to create a Type 1 font out of it, because the fonts generated for these PDFs end up as pixelated Type 3. Probably nice to have "apl" as a package rather than include, to simlify configuration of various systems, like LaTeX in Wiki. It is conventional in APL to display alphabetical characters slanted. A good example of typesetting APL is Dictionary of APL http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/36983.36984 Does anybody know, What font was used to typeset DoA and is this font available as METAFONT or Type 1 font, free or not? --- Markus Triska <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Roger Hui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/EditingGuidelines/Character_Palette_--_APL > > Results: > > http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225855/unicapl/palette.pdf > http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225855/unicapl/palette.tex > > Notes on codepoints: > > a) As before: Instead of U-220A SMALL ELEMENT OF, UnicAPL currently > uses U-2208 ELEMENT OF for "member". > > b) Instead of U-2217 ASTERISK OPERATOR, UnicAPL currently uses U-22C6 > STAR OPERATOR for "power". > > I added U-220A and U-2217 to the LaTeX definitions for more tolerance. > > Notes on descriptions: > > c) U-220A SMALL ELEMENT OF shouldn't be referred to as "epsilon". > > d) U-220D SMALL CONTAINS AS MEMBER shouldn't be referred to as > "*epsilon* flip". > > e) U-236C APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL ZILDE shouldn't be referred to as > "zeta". > > The following codepoints are currently omitted in the PDF since my > LaTeX definitions don't cover them yet: > > U-220D (contains) > U-221A (root) > U-2337 (squish quad) > U-233B (quad jot) > U-2363 (star dieresis) > U-2368 (tilde dieresis) > U-236A (comma bar) > U-236C (zilde) > U-2376 (alpha underscore) > U-2379 (omega underscore) > > > > What is UnicAPL? > > *) Emacs definitions to enter Unicode APL code using ASCII mnemonics > like {<-}, {x}, {w} etc., or with a keyboard layout close to the > APL "Union keyboard" > > *) LaTeX definitions that let you include Unicode APL code in your > documents. > > Details: > > http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0225855/unicapl/unicapl.html ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.
