Requirements

• latex distribution (e.g. texlive or miktex)
• the xcookybooky package
• Optional: emerald font

Handwritten Fonts

If you want to use a beautiful handwritten font, you need to install emerald first (below). Then you can uncomment the handwritten flag in the package options of the cookybook package at the top of koch-backbuch.tex and compile.

Installation

xcookybooky

The easiest way of installing the xcookybook latex package is by installing the whole texlive-publishers package available for most system package manager.

# e.g. on Debian or Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install texlive-publishers

If you explicitly want to install the package by hand follow this steps:

Download the xcookybooky.ins and the xcookybooky.dtx file.

After that simply run latex xcookybooky.ins and copy the generated xcookybooky.sty file into your latex distribution (e.g. /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist). You can copy the generated xcookybooky.cfg into the same folder or if you want a specific config file for every xcookybooky-project you can copy it in the projects root folder.

The last thing you have to do is to update your package list. Otherwise your new cookybooky.sty file will not be recognized. To update your list you have to run texhash or use the miktex manager.

emerald

Download the fonts, doc and tex folder and extract them into your latex distribution (e.g. /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist).

Now you have to update your package list (see xcookybooky installation).

The last step is to enable the new font map. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing your emerald.map (e.g. /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips, fonts/map/dvips should be the same on all systems). Now run the following command: updmap-sys --enable Map=emerald.map (if you're using an unix-based OS, add sudo.
