Product-integral symbol, by J C. Loredo-Osti, based on R.D. Gill's "pi.ps" file. Updated 08/09/01. prodint.readme This file prodint.afm Adobe font metrics prodint.pfa Type1 font outlines (ascii format) prodint.pfb Type1 font outlines (binary format) prodint.sty LaTeX style file prodint.tfm TeX font metrics prodint.tex LaTeX example config.prodint File used to produce postscript example prodint.map File used to produce postscript example prodint.pdf Example in pdf The distribution is available under the conditions of the Open Font License. Mac Files obtained with PFA/PFB Convert, in OzTeX's tex extras, prodint.sit.hqx Stuffed and binhexed (by Alladin Dropstuff 5.1.2), contains: prodint A Mac postscript font (lwfn file, with "laser writer font" icon) prodint Suitcase A font suitcase (i.e., a screenfont: bitmap+font description) ======================================================================== To install the font for LaTeX in a Unix system do: 1. Copy "prodint.tfm" and "prodint.pfb" where the LaTeX fonts live. 2. Add to your "fonts.map" (usualy in "/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config") the entry: prodint prodint < prodint.pfb 3. Copy "prodint.sty" where LaTeX can see it. 4. Execute `mktexlsr' or whatever you need to do to update the ls-R file. "prodint.sty" defines the product-integral symbol in three sizes: \prodi ----- text \Prodi ----- display \PRODI ----- big check "prodint.ps" to see how these look like. You can generate "prodint.ps" without installing the LaTeX prodint files by typing latex prodint; dvips -o prodint.ps -P prodint prodint in this directory. ======================================================================== To install the font for LaTeX in Mac OS 9 do: 1. Throw prodint.sit.hqx onto the Stuffit Expander icon. This produces a folder, prodint, containing two files: prodint A postscript font (with "laser printer font" icon) prodint Suitcase A font suitcase (bitmap+font description) Put prodint and prodint Suitcase into your System's font folder. 2. What kind of TeX do you have? I use OzTeX. What I do: Add to the file "psfonts.map" which resides in OzTeX/TeX/DVIPS/Inputs the line: prodint prodint <prodint This takes care that dvips knows about prodint. Add to the file "Local" which resides in OzTeX the line: prodint prodint <prodint prodint nil This takes care that OzTeX's dvi viewer knows about prodint. 3. Copy "prodint.sty" where OzTeX can see it. 4. Copy "prodint.tfm" where OzTeX can see it. "prodint.sty" define the product-integral symbol in three sizes: \prodi ----- text \Prodi ----- display \PRODI ----- big check "prodint.ps" to see how these look like. ======================================================================== To install the font for LaTeX in Mac OS X do: Something between the UNIX and Mac installations! It is easy, and I have done it for CMacTeX and for TeXShop. Send me an email if you want help. CMacTeX understands Mac postscript fonts (with the laser writer icon, so-called lwfn - laser writer font - files). TeXShop only knows about pfb files. To use pdftex you must tell pdftex.cfg about the prodint.map file, where the relevant font definition is made. The file prodint.map should contain the single line prodint prodint <prodint or prodint prodint <prodint.pfb ======================================================================= Another UNIX installation (Utrecht): 1. Unpack the tar file. In directory /usr/local/TeX/texmf/fonts/afm , make subdirectory prodint and put prodint.afm in it. In directory /usr/local/TeX/texmf/fonts/tfm , make subdirectory prodint , and put prodint.tfm in it. In directory /usr/local/TeX/texmf/fonts/type1 , make subdirectory prodint , and put prodint.pfb in it. Put prodint.tex en prodint.sty in /usr/local/TeX/texmf/tex/local_styles 2. Make Type1 fonts known to TeX . To make use of Type1 fonts, include all pfb file information in the following .map files For dvips, in /usr/local/TeX/texmf/dvips/config/psfonts.map , add the line: prodint prodint < prodint.pfb For dvipdfm, in /usr/local/Tex/texmf/pdftex/config/psfonts.map, add the same line. With the unix command texconfig rehash a new TeX file index is created (ls-R file), so TeX can actually find the new fonts and files. ---------------------------- Postscript font created by: J C.

prodint – A font that provides the product integral symbol
Product integrals are to products, as integrals are to sums. They have been around for more than a hundred years, they have not become part of the standard mathematician’s toolbox, possibly because no-one invented the right mathematical symbol for them. The authors have remedied that situation by proposing the symbol and providing this font.
