adapted by Gabriel Pinochet-Soto, based on the original UCL Beamer theme by Simon Byrne, which was based on the original template by Maurizio Filippone
These files form a theme for the Beamer package in LaTeX that is a close approximation to the UCL Corporate Identity.
To use once, simply put the files in the directory of your document.
A more permanent solution is to put the files somewhere in your texmf tree. To find out where this is in your system, run:
kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME
An appropriate place would be <texmf>/tex/latex/uclbeamer
The usage of the theme and its many options are given in USAGE.md.
A simple example is given in the file sample.tex
.
It can also be used for constructing a poster: a rough implementation is given in sample-poster.tex
, however there are still some issues with spacing that need to be sorted out.
PSU uses the Acumin font. See INSTALL_ACUMIN.md for instructions on how to install it.
Once you have the Acumin font installed, you can use it in your LaTeX document by adding the following lines to the preamble:
\usepackage{acumin}
% ...
{\acumin This text will be in Acumin.}
\textacumin{This text will also be in Acumin.}
% \textsf{This text will be in Acumin.}
You can also install Arial (the official UCL typeface). If you really want Arial, then you should be able to get it working using the following steps:
-
Install the font using the
getnonfreefonts
script from http://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/. -
You may need to run this:
updmap-sys --enable Map=ua1.map
- Add the following lines to the preamble of your document:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{uarial}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
Requires a reasonably modern TeX installation (it has only been tested on MacTeX 2012). If you're having any problems, try upgrading.
This is completely unofficial, and not supported by UCL. If you notice any bugs however, please do open an issue, or better yet, send in a pull request.
