Georg Baum f67cf6f4bb Add support for stmaryrd.sty (bug #8434)
The stmaryrd package adds support for lots of math symbols, using a font
designed to accompany the computer modern fonts. The changes in detail:

- Fix generate_symbols_list.py to work with stmaryrd.sty. It loooks like it
  was automatically translated from a perl version and never used.
- Generate the new symbols in lib/symbols using generate_symbols_list.py and
  add some manual adjustments
- Generate stmary10.ttf by a simple ttf export from stmary10.sfd with fontforge
- Add license info for stmary10.ttf
- Create a test file with all symbols from stmaryrd.sty. Actually it would be
  nice to have this for the other fonts as well.
- The mechanics: lyx2lyx, tex2lyx, font machinery etc.

BaKoMa Fonts for LyX-Win
==============================
ANY DISTRIBUTION OF ONE OF THESE FONTS MUST INCLUDE THE LICENCE FILE
THAT IS PART OF THIS PACKAGE
The fonts included in this package are intended for Windows ports
of Lyx, see http://www.lyx.org/download. The fonts are replacements
that solve some display problems of math symbols.
The fonts included in this package are taken from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/
and have been modified for use with LyX.
The most recent versions of the original fonts are available
with the complete BaKoMa TeX distribution at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/
The author of these fonts, Basil K. Malyshev, has kindly
granted permission to use and modify these fonts.
The changes made are simple remappings of glyphs. These mappings
are:
cmsy10.ttf char 8728 mapped to char 183 (\leq)
cmsy10.ttf char 196 mapped to char 127 (\spadesuit)
msbm10.ttf char 8728 mapped to char 183 (\nleqq)
msbm10.ttf char 196 mapped to char 127 (\backepsilon)
cmmi10.ttf char 8728 mapped to char 183 (\kapp)
msam10.ttf char 196 mapped to char 127 (\circleddash)
msam10.ttf char 8728 mapped to char 183 (\uparrows)
The mappings do not change any glyph but make the glyphs mentioned
available under new codes, too. So the functionality of the fonts
will not be affected in any other application.
In addition to the BaKoMa fonts, this font bundle contains the wasy font
'wasy10.ttf' from the latex-xft font bundle:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/latex-xft-fonts.html.
The latex-xft bundle is published under the GPL.
In addition to the BaKoMa fonts, this font bundle contains the esint font
'esint10.ttf' from the esint package. It was converted from the type1
version available at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/esint/.
This PostScript Type 1 implementation of the font esint10, originally
created by Eddie Saudrais using METAFONT, is freely available for general
use.
In addition to the BaKoMa fonts, this font bundle contains the stmary font
'stmary10.ttf' from the stmaryrd package. It was converted from the type1
version available at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/stmaryrd/ps-type1/hoekwater/.
This PostScript Type 1 implementation of the font stmary10, originally
created by Jeremy Gibbons and Alan Jeffrey using METAFONT, is in the
public domain.
