The font comes in three weights, and has many additions and redesigns. The files are distributed in OpenType format (\texttt{.otf}) from the author's website.\footnote{\url{https://www.feorag.com/freestuff/symbats.html}}\label{intro} \subsection{\LaTeX\ version} For the \LaTeX\ version, I have assigned control sequences (\LaTeX\ commands) to all the glyphs. They are listed in this document three times, in different orders for ease of reference: \begin{enumerate}[nosep] \item index order of Unicode codepoint; \item alphabetical order of \LaTeX\ name; \item alphabetical order of Unicode name. \end{enumerate} \subsection{Numeric character positions}\label{numpos} For historical reasons, some of the glyphs are in the code positions of ASCII printable characters (U+0021 to U+007E), where they were originally placed for ease of typing in pre-Unicode days. For compatibility with older versions, these glyphs are still in place, but in cases where there are now real Unicode codepoints for the exact characters by name, the glyph is duplicated at the new position and the glyph at the original location has its name prefixed with `\texttt{old}'. To the best of my understanding, the two glyphs are identical in each case. These duplications are noted in the following tables in the \textbf{Dupes} column with a clickable link to the other position (note that all these links go to the first listing, the index order of codepoint, not to the listing in which you clicked). For example, Earth (\oldearth) was originally at U+003C, but Unicode now defines an actual codepoint named `Earth' at U+2641, so the glyph is named in that location as \verb+\earth+ and the original at U+003C is named \verb+\oldearth+; but they are identical. \subsection{Naming} In choosing the names, the methodology used was: \begin{enumerate} \item If the glyph has an established name (Sun, Earth, Pentagram) that name is used in all lowercase, eg \verb+\earth+; \item Glyphs with multiple variants (moon, new moon, waxing moon, waning moon, etc) are named with the principal component first, eg \verb+\moonnew+, \verb+\moonfull+, \verb+\moonwaningoutline+, \verb+\moonwaningsolid+, etc. These can best be compared in the Unicode name order listing in \hyperref[unicodename]{\S\ref{unicodename}} starting on p.\pageref{unicodename}. \item Variations in \textbf{pentagrams} include: \begin{itemize}[nosep] \item \textbf{rough} (sketched lines); \item \textbf{inverted} (abbreviated to \texttt{inv} to save typing); \item \textbf{interlaced} (lines pass in front and behind others); \item handedness of the interlacing (\textbf{Right} \textit{vs} \textbf{Left}) using capital \texttt{R} and \texttt{L}; \item \textbf{circled} (ring around) \textit{vs} \textbf{solid} (reversed out). \end{itemize} For the first three (rough, inverted, and interlaced) there is no explicit opposite in the name, so the complement of \verb+\pentagramroughcircled+ is just \verb+\pentagramcircled+: there is no `smooth' in the name. Similarly, upright symbols are not named as such, only the inverted versions get an `\texttt{inv}' in their name. Where there is an obvious complement, this is linked in the \textbf{Compl} column in a similar manner to the \textbf{Dupes} method described in \hyperref[numpos]{\S\ref{numpos}}. \item Variations in \textbf{sun} and \textbf{moon} include: \begin{itemize}[nosep] \item glyph in \textbf{outline} or \textbf{solid} (ie empty or filled); \item sun — number of \textbf{spokes} [is this the correct term? rays?]; \item sun — \textbf{corona} (external ring); \item sun — \textbf{hub} (centre ring); \item moon — phase (new, first quarter, third quarter, full, waxing, waning). \end{itemize} As with the pentagrams, the absence of an effect is signalled by the absence of the term in the name. \item Ogham letter names are prefixed with `\texttt{OG}'; \item Runic letter names are prefixed with `\texttt{RU}'; \item For any existing glyph for which a formal Unicode codepoint now exists, the name in the original location is prefixed by `\texttt{old}' as described in \hyperref[numpos]{\S\ref{numpos}}; \item A few names are not known, or not readily identifiable, or lost to the mists of time. These have been guessed at, and I would welcome suggestions. \end{enumerate} \section{Using the \textit{symbats3} package} Download the fonts (see \S\ref{intro}) and install them into your computer according to your operating system's instructions (see instructions at the end of this page). \subsection{Package installation} \subsubsection{Normal (automated) installation} If you are using (eg) MiK\TeX\ or another system with automated font installation, just invoking the package in a document is enough to make it install automatically from CTAN, eg: \verb+\usepackage{symbats3}+ \subsubsection{Manual installation} If you have to (or want to) install the package manually: \begin{enumerate} \item Download the package zip file from CTAN. \item Unzip the file into your Personal \TeX\ Folder (see page\thinspace\pageref{ptf}) \item Create the subdirectories \verb+tex/latex/symbats3/+ and \verb+doc/latex/symbats3/+ within your Personal \TeX\ Folder \verb+texmf+. \item Move the two package files \verb+symbats3.sty+ and \verb+symbats3.def+ into the new \LaTeX\ subdirectory \verb+texmf/tex/latex/symbats3/+. \item Move the remaining package files into the new documentation subdirectory \verb+texmf/doc/latex/symbats3/+. \item Add the line \verb+\usepackage{symbats3}+ to the Preamble of your \LaTeX\ document. \end{enumerate} Note that the \textsf{supertramp} package \textsf{\smaller REQUIRES} the \textsf{fontspec} package for Unicode and OpenType fonts \parencite{fontspec}. The \textsf{supertramp} package \textsf{\smaller CANNOT} be used with the old \textsf{fontenc} and \textsf{inputenc} packages, which means you \textsf{\smaller MUST} use \XeLaTeX\ or \LuaLaTeX\ as your processor, not \textit{pdflatex} or plain \textit{latex}. \subsection{Options} There is only one option to this version of the package: \verb+[descenders]+, which lowers the height of the glyphs to align with the descenders of the surrounding text. By default, the glyphs print with their baseline aligned with the baseline of the surrounding text, eg \uline{\hbox{\sffamily\huge Baseline: \pentagram}} In many cases the glyph fits better if it is aligned instead with the bottom of the descenders (q, y, p, j, g) of the surrounding text, eg \uline{\hbox{\sffamily\huge Descenders (qypjg): \pentagram[-.5ex]}} The package option \verb+[descenders]+ will automatically calculate the depth of the descenders for the current font and lower the glyph to align with them, eg \verb+\usepackage[descenders]{symbats3}+ In addition, there is an optional argument to every glyph command to specify a different height or depth, eg \verb+\pentagraminvsolid[-.666ex]+ will produce \uline{\hbox{\sffamily\huge Manual: \pentagraminvsolid[-.666ex]}} \bigskip\hrule\bigskip \section*{Note on required features} In this document, the keywords {\sffamily {\smaller MUST}}, {\sffamily {\smaller MUST NOT}}, {\sffamily {\smaller REQUIRED}}, {\sffamily {\smaller SHALL}}, {\sffamily {\smaller SHALL NOT}}, {\sffamily {\smaller SHOULD}}, {\sffamily {\smaller SHOULD NOT}}, {\sffamily {\smaller RECOMMENDED}}, {\sffamily {\smaller MAY}}, and {\sffamily {\smaller OPTIONAL}} have a specific meaning when shown in {\sffamily {\smaller THIS TYPESTYLE}}, and {\sffamily {\smaller MUST}} be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 \parencite{rfc2119}.
