TeX - LaTeX Asked by Joost Kruis on August 30, 2020
I want to use a few symbols from the bartel-chess-fonts font in two projects in Overleaf (one is pdfLaTeX, other is XeLaTex). I downloaded the contents, which are all .mf or .tfm files, and added these to a bartel-chess-fonts folder in Overleaf.
At this point I am however stuck on how I can load and use some of these symbols within the text of the document.
I looked to several questions in the Stack, however most are either not for Overleaf or only deal with .ttf files.
I appreciate your help!!
You can use the fonts only with low-level commands, or through the diagram package https://www.ctan.org/pkg/chess-problem-diagrams. There is no nfss-support for LaTeX.
So normally something like fontchessfont=pkelch12 {chessfont char99}
is needed, you can find out the char number by looking at the font table below. I had to tweak an internal command as the fonts have a bit curious design size.
The fonts are bitmaps.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{fonttable}
begin{document}
fontchessfont=pkelch12 {chessfont char99}
makeatletter
% to get around the curious design size in the fonts:
renewcommand*{f@tstartfont}{%
@tempdima=f@size pt
fontf@ttestfont=f@tfontnamespace at 100ptrelax %force size ...
f@ttestfont f@tsetbaselineskip
ifdimfontdimen6f@ttestfont<10ptrelax
rightskip=0pt plus 20ptrelax
else
rightskip=0pt plus 2emrelax
fi
spaceskip=fontdimen2f@ttestfont %
xspaceskip=fontdimen2f@ttestfont
advancexspaceskip byfontdimen7f@ttestfont
}
fonttable{pkelch12}
%fonttable{fselch12}
end{document}
