+This directory contains: a Type-1 font named BrushScriptX-Italic, that
+simulates hand-written characters; all the files needed by LaTeX in
+order to use that font; a file AAA_readme.tex that fully describes the
+package; two example files.
+
+The font itself and all the files are public domain.
+
+History:
+
+- The original (public domain) NeXT screen font has been edited, with
+ a Type-1 font editor named TypeSmith, on an Amiga computer. The
+ service files have been generated using the "fontinst" package by
+ Alan Jeffrey.
+- Having TypeSmith generated a buggy font, Louis Vosloo of Y&Y, with
+ enormous courtesy, has fixed the font in his spare time (I no longer
+ had an Amiga computer, or a font editor of any kind).
+- Rolf Niepraschk submits a file pbsi.sty .
+- A more strict dvips (5.86e) refuses to handle the font. Rolf
+ Niepraschk submits a fix, generated by the "type1fix" perl script.
+- Having learnt about a free Type-1 font editor called 'pfaedit' by
+ George Williams (http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net) I have completely
+ re-edited the font. Thierry Bouche has been of invaluable help
+ with fontinst.
