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, type the command:
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 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
I am trying to sort out.
By default, the package uses the Helvetica font, as Arial (the official UCL typeface) is not installed on most TeX distributions. If you really want Arial, then I managed to get it working using the following steps:
-
Install the font using the
getnonfreefontsscript from http://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/. -
You may need to run the following line:
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, contact [email protected], and I shall do my best to fix them. Of course, any contributions are also welcome.
