The sarabian bundle provides fonts for the South Arabian script, in use for about 1000 years from roughly 600 BC, together with appropriate files for using them with LaTeX. The glyphs are the work of Alan Stanier. This is one of a series of ancient scripts.

To generate a second copy of the manual (which is already supplied as a PDF file): o run: latex *.dtx o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist *.idx) o run: latex *.dtx o Print *.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual 2005/99/99 Peter Wilson herries dot press at earthlink dot net The distribution consists of the following files: README (this file) sarabian.ins sarabian.dtx tryfont.tex The distribution is provided under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL). To install the package: o run: latex sarabian.ins, which will generate: sarab*.mf files *.fd files sarabian.sty o run: latex sarabian.dtx o run: makeindex -s gind.ist sarabian o run: latex sarabian.dtx o Print sarabian.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual o Move the generated files to locations where LaTeX will find them. For example: the *.fd and .sty files to .../local/texmf/tex/latex/sarabian the sarab*.mf files to .../texmf/fonts/source/public/sarabian On a teTeX distribution you might also have to add the following line to texmf/fontname/special.map: sarab10.mf public sarabian On a teTeX distribution remember to run texhash after moving the files. o run: latex tryfont for a testpage of the South Arabian font 2000/09/30 Peter Wilson peter.r.wilson@boeing.com
