+ The auncial bundle provides packages and fonts for a script based
+on the Artificial Uncial manuscript book-hand used between the 6th & 10th
+century AD. The script consists of minuscules and digits, with some
+appropriate period punctuation marks. Both normal and bold versions are
+provided. This is one of a series for bookhand fonts.
+
+ The font follows the B1 encoding developed for bookhands. Access to
+this is essential. The encoding mainly follows the regular T1 encoding.
+
+ If there are any questions please ask them on the comp.text.tex newsgroup.
+
+Changes in version 2.0 (2005/11/27)
+o Font supplied as Postscript Type1 instead of MetaFont
+o Only B1 encoding supported
+o Major code rewrite
+
+Changes in version 1.0 (1999/05/22)
+o First public release

+
+ To install the bundle:
+o If you want MetaFont sources uncomment the appropriate lines in auncial.ins.
+o run: latex auncial.ins, which will generate:
+ auncial.sty
+ *.fd files
+ auncial.map
+ and possibly several *.mf files
+o Move *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them
+ e.g., .../texmf-local/tex/latex/auncial
+o Move *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files to where LaTeX looks for font information
+ e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/bookhands/*.afm
+ .../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/bookhands/*.pfb
+ .../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/bookhands/*.tfm
+o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex font maps
+ If you want the MetaFont version as well:
+ o Move the *.mf files to, e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/source/public/auncial
+ o Add a line like the following to the (texmf/fontname/)special.map file:
+ auncl10.mf public auncial
+ aunclb10.mf public auncial
+o Refresh the database
+ (for more information on the above see the FAQ).
+
+o run: (pdf)latex tryauncial for a test of the font
+
+ If you want a full manual with all the MetaFont and LaTeX code and
+commentry, comment out the \OnlyDescription line in auncial.dtx.
+o run: (pdf)latex auncial.dtx
+o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist *.idx)
+o run: (pdf)latex *.dtx
+o Print *.(pdf|dvi) for a hardcopy of the package manual
