Hi Mark, Chess12 seems to be an outdated and unmaintained package. The font, and instructions to use this font, is difficult to find and even more difficult to install. One has to follow a complex array of arcane and convoluted instructions which requires manual installation of each font folder. I could never do it successfully.
On my Linux Mint box, I had to install texlive and texlive-games in order to print my games with diagrams. I'm not sure what font package texlive-games includes. Skak may offer a better font and hopefully a better installation experience. Maybe. On 08/22/2014 07:53 AM, Mark Dennehy wrote: > Thanks for the kind words Dale.
