TEXMFHOME
directory in a sub-directory calleddist
. Create the directory if it does not exist yetChange into the dist directory

If you extracted the ZIP somewhere else, make sure you add the absolute path of that folder to the search path of your TeX distribution.
The installation failed if you use a BFH class and get an error message like
bfhtesis.cls not found
. Repeat the installation procedure.
The BFH Logo package
Warning
The BFH Logo package is available for BFH members only.
Download the latest ZIP archive of BFH Logos.
Extract the ZIP archive. You should now have a
bfh-logo
orbfh-logo_VERSION
directory in your download folder. Move it to some location where you’d like to keep the files.As of version 1.6.x, the logo bundle is
l3build
-enabled, simplifying the installation process massively.As some Windows users fear Terminal usage, we provide a batch script to simplify the installation procedure. Start the batch script
./l3build_install.bat
by double-clicking the file. It will copy the logo files from this bundle into yourTEXMFHOME
directory. This is usually inC:\Users\<User>\texmfhome
. The LaTeX compilers will then be able to find it.For more details and the uninstall procedure, see the README.md file.
The BFH Fonts package
Warning
BFH Fonts are available for BFH members only.
Download the latest ZIP archive of BFH Fonts.
Extract the ZIP archive using the same procedure as the BFH Logo.
Note
There is no need to update the search paths anymore.
Select all OTF-files, right-click and select “Install”
Note
As the BFH font is an open type font (OTF), the LaTeX engine must be LuaTeX.
