+This directory contains programs for Old English letters.
+
+The fonts created have:
+D capital eth
+d eth
+T capital thorn
+t thorn
+G capital yogh
+g yogh
+n Polish ogonek accent
+
+The thorn is the style that looks like p and b combined. The roman derived
+fonts (i.e. not cmoeti10) also have
+u lower-case thorn with side bowl pointing top right (the traditional shape;
+ I happen to think that the other shape blends better with CM); this code
+ is Knuth's, from the cmman font.
+
+
+To make the fonts, just run Metafont on cmoer10 etc; other sizes and styles
+can be make by adapting the CM parameter and driver files in the obvious way.
