Post installation steps

To load the appropriate design file:

  1. In Radical Pie, go to Settings->Load Design from Equation and in the folder line edit paste: %APPDATA%\RadicalPie\DesignFiles. This will take you to a folder of the form: C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\RadicalPie\DesignFiles.
  2. Select one of the files and open it (for example Design-NewCM10.pie).
  3. If desired, you can make it your default by selecting: Settings->Save User Default Design.

Brief description of the project

I started developing NewCM-Radix to make it possible to use the New Computer Modern fonts with Radical Pie™ Equation Editor. During development, I realized that the overall appearance of documents could be greatly improved by using the same typefaces for both text and equations in Word and PowerPoint. NewCM-Radix was created to make setting up this consistent configuration simple and straightforward. Special care has been taken to ensure that Windows recognize the fonts and their variants appropriately.

The NewCM-Radix installer performs the following actions:

  1. Installs a subset of the New Computer Modern fonts into the user fonts folder: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts.
  2. Updates the user registry such that Windows programs can recognize the fonts.
  3. Installs .slug fonts for use by Radical Pie into %localappdata%\RadicalPie.
  4. Installs Radical Pie design files into %appdata%\RadicalPie\DesignFiles.
  5. Installs Word templates into the user's PersonalTemplates templates path. You may have set this path in Word from the Menu item sequency: File->Options->Save [Default personal templates location]. If not NewCM-Radix will set it to the default.

The software comes with an uninstaller. To uninstall, execute the following in a Command Prompt:

%localappdata%\NewCM-Radix\Uninstall.bat

The uninstaller will remove all components above except the items in 4.

The Fonts supported by the project are shown below in black and white backgrounds:
