+tryprotosem.pdf
+proto10.afm

+
+ To install the package:
+o run: latex protosem.ins, which will generate:
+ protosem.sty
+ *.fd files
+ protosem.map
+ and posibly proto10.mf
+o Move the *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them
+ e.g. .../texmf-local/tex/latex/protosem
+o Move the *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files where LaTeX looks for font information
+ e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/archaic/*.afm
+ .../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/archaic/*.pfb
+ .../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/archaic/*.tfm
+o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex psfont maps
+ If you want the MetaFont version as well:
+ o Move the *.mf files to, e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/source/public/protosem
+ o Add a linec like the following to the (texmf/fontname)special.map file:
+ proto10.mf public protosem
+o Refresh the database
+ (for more information on the above see the FAQ).
+
+o run: latex tryprotosem for a test of the Proto-Semitic font
+
+ To generate a second copy of the manual (which is already supplied as a PDF file):
+o run: latex protosem.dtx
+o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist protosem.idx)
+o run: latex protosem.dtx
+o Print protosem.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual
