+\begin{document}
+\maketitle\thispagestyle{empty}
+
+The PostScript font `DictSym' (designed by Georg Verweyen) provides a
+number of symbols commonly found in dictionaries.
+The macro package
+\Lpack{dictsym} serves to use of this font with \LaTeX{}. It provides
+the following commands to print the symbols of the font:
+
+\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
+\begin{tabular}{ll@{\qquad}ll}
+ \dsarchitectural &|\dsarchitectural| & \dsmathematical &|\dsmathematical| \\
+ \dsbiological &|\dsbiological| & \dsrailways &|\dsrailways| \\
+ \dschemical &|\dschemical| & \dstechnical &|\dstechnical| \\
+ \dsagricultural &|\dsagricultural| & \dsmilitary &|\dsmilitary| \\
+ \dsheraldical &|\dsheraldical| & \dsaeronautical &|\dsaeronautical| \\
+ \dsjuridical &|\dsjuridical| & \dscommercial &|\dscommercial| \\
+ \dsliterary &|\dsliterary| & \dsmedical &|\dsmedical| \\
+\end{tabular}
+
+By default, the symbols are typeset at the same nominal font size
+as the surrounding text. When the package is loaded with the option
+\texttt{[scaled=}\m{scale}\texttt{]},
+the DictSym font will be scaled by the indicated factor. For instance,
+\begin{quote}
+ |\usepackage[scaled=1.1]{dictsym}|
+\end{quote}
+will enlarge the symbols by 10\%.
+Thus, you can make the `dictionary symbols' match exactly the optical
+appearance of the surrounding typeface. The above table shows the
+symbols at 150\% of their natural size.
