This distribution contains an attempt to use Bitstream
ClassicalGaramond, a clone of Sabon, together with the free Pazo fonts
for mathematical typesetting. Latin letter are taken from
ClassicalGaramond, Greek letters and a few symbols from Pazo, and the
rest from ComputerModern.

Known Bugs & Problems:
- The Pazo fonts are desing to go with Palatino, not with Sabon.
  Therefore the Greek letters do not match exaclty. On the other hand no
  free Greek fonts are available for Sabon, and Sabon and Palatino are
  based on designs from the Renaissance. Please tell me your oppinion,
  whether they match at least a bit, or not!
- The spacing and the placement of mathematical accents might be
  optimized.


--------------------------   Requirements   --------------------------

A (working) installation of the package "bsabon.tgz" is required for
using this package. Please use a version as of 2005-02-12 (or later),
because older versions lack certain files needed for math typesetting.

A (working) installation of the Pazo-fonts (which are part of the
PSNFSS-package, that is required for any LaTeX-distribution) is
required.


--------------------------   Installation   --------------------------

This describtion assumes a TDS-compliant TeX system.

1) Unpack the archive. The archive contains the following files and
folders:
    mathbsb.txt: This file
    texmf/: Folder with all files required by TeX

2) Install the TeX/LaTeX files. The folder "texmf" contains all files
for TeX/LaTeX in their correct position in a virtual texmf-tree,
therefore you only need to move the files to their corresponding
location in your local texmf-tree. Some of the directorys might have to
be created first.

3) Update your filename database. If your tex system maintains a
filename database, you might have to update manually now. Please consult
the documentation of your tex system. Under teTeX 2.0 and later, run the
following command:

    texhash

For other distributions, please consult your documentation!


-------------------   Using the fonts with LaTeX   -------------------

The supplied package "mathpbsb.sty" selects Bitstream ClassicalGaramond
as the default serif and math font. Letters not available from
ClassicalGaramond are taken from the Pazo and CM fonts.

As default the package loads lining figures. The package supports the
following options:

  osf: Load font with oldstyle figures for text. For math are always
     lining figures used.

  slantedGreek: Load italic uppercase Greek letters by default

  commands: Load additional commands for selecting the font styles not
     supported by the LaTeX font management:
      -\osstyle, \textos{...} selects oldstyle figures
      -\lnstyle, \textln{...} selects lining figures
     Those commands are taken from "The Font Installation Guide" by
     Philipp Lehman.

  BBpl: Use the "blackboard bold" letters available from the Pazo fonts.
     Defines a command \mathBB to access them. As default no "blackboard
     bold" font is defined, so any external font may be use.

The following commands are defined:

  \upGamma, \upDelta ... \upOmega: The commands produce always upright
     uppercase Greek letter.

  \mathbold: Selects bolditalic math alphabet for typesetting bold
     variables

  \mathBB: This command is only available if the option "BBpl" is given
     (see above).

The package and the source files are based on the mathpazo package.
