# IBeaMer

LaTeX/Beamer templates using the [IBM design
language](https://www.ibm.com/design/language).

### Fonts

See `ibeamer.tex` for example usage and `ibeamer.pdf` for a sample.

This template uses the [Lete Sans Math](https://github.com/abccsss/LeteSansMath)
and [IBM Plex](https://github.com/IBM/plex) fonts.

These may already part of your system's `texlive` distribution. On archlinux,
for example, they are part of the `texlive-fontsextra` package. If not, they are
both licensed with the [OFL `v1.1`](https://openfontlicense.org) and can be
freely downloaded from their github sources. They are also available on CTAN
([LeteSansMath](https://ctan.org/pkg/lete-sans-math),
[Plex](https://ctan.org/pkg/plex-otf)), if that is easier to integrate into your
LaTeX workflow.

In total, the following font files will be needed

* `IBMPlexMono-Regular.otf`
* `IBMPlexSans-Italic.otf`
* `IBMPlexSans-Regular.otf`
* `LeteSansMath.otf`

Because we are using non-standard fonts, this will need to be compiled use
`lualatex`. For example, `latexmk -pdflua ibeamer.tex`.

### Installation

To use this package, clone this repository into your
[`$TEXMFHOME`](https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html)
directory. For example

    git clone https://git.rueg.re/ibeamer "$TEXMFHOME/ibeamer"

If your `$TEXMFHOME` is not set, choose a location for it and `export` it in
your shell configuration file. For example, create the directory

    mkdir -p "$HOME/.local/share/tex"

and add

    export TEXMFHOME=$HOME/.local/share/tex

to your `$HOME/.bashrc` (or `$HOME/.zshrc` on MacOS).

(Note: `$HOME/.local/share` is the default location for
[`$XDG_DATA_HOME`](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory), but you
can pick any directory).

Then you can use the `ibeamer.tex` template from anywhere in your filesystem.
