I use TinyTeX, but this also works with TeX Live and MiKTeX.\n\nSee [varsityblues](https://github.com/pachadotdev/varsityblues) for a set of\ncomplete LaTeX templates to be used with R Markdown or Quarto.\n\nYou can compare the differences here:\n\n* Computer Modern (TeX default): [pdf](https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex/blob/main/demo/computer-modern.pdf) and [tex](https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex/blob/main/demo/computer-modern.tex)\n* Lucida: [pdf](https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex/blob/main/demo/lucida.pdf) and [tex](https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex/blob/main/demo/lucida.tex)\n* Lucida and Minion Pro: [pdf](https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex/blob/main/demo/lucida-and-minion.pdf) and [tex](https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex/blob/main/demo/lucida-and-minion.tex)\n\nLucida is a commercial font that can be purchased from [TUG](https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html).\nAfter purchasing the font, you will receive zip files with the fonts and the \nmacros (`lucida-type1.zip` and `lucimacros.zip`).\n\nMinion Pro comes with Adobe Illustrator or can be purchased by separate from\n[Adobe](https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/minion).\n\nIf you email me, I can send you the PFB files for Minion Pro if you can prove\nthat you have legally obtained the font. I believe in Open Source, but I also\nbelieve in respecting the rights of the creators of the fonts.\n\n## Instructions\n\n### Clone this repository\n\nEither\n\n```bash\ngit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex.git\n```\n\nor\n\n```bash\ngit clone --depth 1 git@github.com:pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex.git\n```\n\n### Copy Lucida files\n\nPut the corresponding zip files for Lucida in the root folder of this\nrepository. These files are `lucida-type1.zip` and `lucimacros.zip`.\n\n### Copy Minion Pro files\n\n#### If you only have the font in OTF format\n\nCreate the `minion` folder in the root of this repository and put the Minion Pro\nfonts in OTF format into it. This corresponds to the next files:\n\n```\nMinionPro-BoldCnIt.otf\nMinionPro-BoldCn.otf\nMinionPro-BoldIt.otf\nMinionPro-Bold.otf\nMinionPro-It.otf\nMinionPro-MediumIt.otf\nMinionPro-Medium.otf\nMinionPro-Regular.otf\nMinionPro-SemiboldIt.otf\nMinionPro-Semibold.otf\n```\n\nIf you are on Ubuntu/Debian, the script from the next section will install\n`lcdf-typetools`, which provides `cfftot1` and `t1dotlessj` and allow to convert\nthe fonts to the required format for TeX.\n\nFor other Linux and Unix systems (i.e., Mac), you'll need to install\n`lcdf-typetools`.\n\n```bash\n# Fedora/RedHat\nsudo dnf install lcdf-typetools\n\n# Mac\nbrew install lcdf-typetools\n\n# I don't know about other Linux/Unix systems\n```\n\n#### If you have the font in PFB format\n\nCopy the PFB files to the `minion-nofont/fonts/type1/adobe/MinionPro/`.\n\n### Run the script for Linux (and also Mac or Unix)\n\nRun the script `install.sh` and select the available options:\n\n1. Install Lucida\n2. Install Minion Pro\n3. Install Both\n\n```bash\ncd lucida-minion-tex\nbash install.sh\n```\n\n### Steps for Windows\n\n1. Create the `C:\\texfonts` folder.\n2. Unzip the `lucida-type1.zip` and `lucimacros.zip` files into `C:\\texfonts`.\n3. Copy `minion-nofont` contents to folder to `C:\\texfonts`, unzip all the zip files and then delete the zip files.\n4. Go to the Miktex configuration (Start \u003e Programs \u003e MiKTeX \u003e Maintenance).\n5. Add the folder created in the first step (see [image 1](https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex/blob/main/image1.png)).\n6. Update the FNDB and formats (see [image 2](https://github.com/pachadotdev/lucida-minion-tex/blob/main/image2.png)) don't forget to click \"apply\" and then \"ok\".\n7. Restart the computer.\n\nTo convert the font from OTF to TeX format you need to run something of the form:\n\n```bash\n@echo off\n\necho \"Creating PostScript fonts ...\"\n\nfor %%i in (minion/*.otf) do cfftot1    minion/otf/%%i minion-nofont/pfb/%%~ni.pfb\nfor %%i in (minion/*.otf) do t1dotlessj minion/pfb/%%~ni.pfb minion-nofont/pfb/%%~niLCDFJ.pfb\n```\n\nI don't use Windows, so this is what my imagination says is the adaption from the Linux script.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpachadotdev%2Flucida-minion-tex","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpachadotdev%2Flucida-minion-tex","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpachadotdev%2Flucida-minion-tex/lists"}
