Engine support
The font is distributed in OpenType format, and makes extensive use of OpenType features. Therefore, at this time, only XeTeX and LuaTeX are supported. An error message is issued if an OTF-capable engine is not detected.
Format support
To use the macros in LaTeX, load the asapsym
package:
\usepackage{asapsym}
To use the macros in Plain TeX, \input
the asapsym.code.tex
file:
\input asapsym.code.tex
Both asapsym.sty
and asapsym.code.tex
are wrappers around the main generic macro definitions in asapsym-generic.tex
.
Dependencies
When using LaTeX, the fontspec package is used for loading the OpenType font and selecting features.
When using Plain TeX with the LuaTeX engine, luaotfload.sty
is used for loading the OpenType font and selecting features using the same syntax used natively by XeTeX.
Installation
The files distributed to CTAN are:
asapsym.dtx
(the documented sources)asapsym.ins
(the installer file)asapsym.pdf
(the typeset documentation)README.md
(the file you are reading now)Asap-Symbol.otf
(the OpenType font, released under SIL OFL, version 1.1)
Executing the command latex asapsym.ins
will generate the following package files from the asapsym.dtx
file:
asapsym.code.tex
(the Plain TeX wrapper file)asapsym.sty
(the LaTeX package wrapper)asapsym-generic.tex
(the generic macro definitions)
These three files must be in a directory searched by TeX. A suggested layout for the complete distribution is:
doc/ generic/ asapsym/ asapsym.pdf README.md fonts/ opentype/ omnibus-type/ asap/ Asap-Symbol.otf source/ generic/ asapsym/ asapsym.dtx asapsym.ins tex/ generic/ asapsym/ asapsym-generic.tex latex/ asapsym/ asapsym.sty plain/ asapsym/ asapysm.code.tex
To produce the documentation locally, use the following sequence of commands:
lualatex asapsym.dtx makeindex -s gglo.ist -o asapsym.gls asapsym.glo makeindex -s gind.ist -o asapsym.ind asapsym.idx lualatex asapsym.dtx
