+============================================================
+
+ eulervm v4.0, 2005-01-11
+
+ The Virtual Euler Math fonts and the LaTeX package eulervm
+
+============================================================
+ Walter Schmidt
+ w-a-schmidt(at)gmx.net
+
+
+
+The well-known Euler math fonts (designed by H. Zapf) are
+suitable for math typesetting in conjunction with a variety
+of text fonts which do not provide math character sets of
+their own.
+
+Euler-VM is a set of _virtual_ math fonts based on Euler and
+CM. This approach has several advantages over immediately
+using the _real_ Euler fonts: Most noticeably, less TeX
+resources are consumed, the quality of various math symbols
+is improved, and a usable \hslash symbol can be provided.
+
+The fonts are accompanied by a LaTeX package which makes
+them easy to use, particularly in conjunction with Type 1
+(PostScript) text fonts.
+
+To install Euler-VM, copy all files from the distribution
+to the corresponding directories of your TeX system.
+
+The documentation is provided as a ready-made PDF file with
+A4 media size in the directory doc/latex/eulervm.
+It describes only the user interface. To include also the
+implementation details or to typeset it on a different media
+size, run the source file file eulervm.dtx through LaTeX,
+using an appropriate configuration file ltxdoc.cfg.
+
+
+
+The fontinst sources
+--------------------
+The directory source/latex/eulervm/fontinst contains the
+sources of the virtual fonts, including a `makefile'. You
+need these files only in case you want to rebuild or modify
+the fonts. The following .pl files are required
+additionally:
+
+cmbsy10.pl cmmi10.pl cmr5.pl eufb5.pl eurb7.pl
+cmbsy5.pl cmmi5.pl cmr7.pl eufb7.pl eurm10.pl
+cmbsy7.pl cmmi7.pl cmsy10.pl eufm10.pl eurm5.pl
+cmbx10.pl cmmib10.pl cmsy5.pl eufm5.pl eurm7.pl
+cmbx5.pl cmmib5.pl cmsy7.pl eufm7.pl eusb10.pl
+cmbx7.pl cmmib7.pl euex10.pl eurb10.pl eusb5.pl
+cmex10.pl cmr10.pl eufb10.pl eurb5.pl eusb7.pl
+eusm10.pl eusm5.pl eusm7.pl euex7.pl cmex7.pl

+
+History
+-------
+2005-01-11, v4.0
+ Distributon re-arraged \`a la TDS.
+
+ An obscure bug, affecting the extensible symbols in the
+ font zeuex10, has been fixed. (See eumx.etx)
+
+ A bug in the fontinst script fontevm.tex, which would
+ prevent it from being processed by newer versions of the
+ fontinst program, has been fixed.
+
+ Slightly corrected vertical symmetry axis in formulas.
+
+ Ready-made documentation in PDF format to show the
+ Euler-VM fonts in use.
+
+ NB: The macro package and the fd files are unchanged,
+ except for the version number.
+
+
+2004-01-07, v3.0a
+ The package does no longer redefine \vdots and \ddots,
+ because fixing these macros should be left to the package
+ mathdots.sty. Virtual fonts and font metrics are
+ unchanged.
+
+ Documentation updated wrt/ email address and CTAN links.
+
+2003-06-10, v3.0
+ The symbols \leq and \geq now show the shape that is
+ preferred by DEK in conjunction with the Euler fonts.
+ (Credits to Frank Mittelbach for pointing me to this!)
+ The width of the symbols is unchanged.
+
+ The option [small] now acts on the AMS fonts, too, so
+ there are no more restrictions affecting the usage of
+ amssymb.sty in conjunction with the Euler-VM fonts.
+
+ Slightly changed mapping of font sizes to design sizes
+ used. Particularly, when a math font with a size of 8pt
+ is requested, we are now going to scale up a 7pt font,
+ rather than scaling down a 10pt one. This should improve
+ the appearance of documents with a normal font size of
+ 11pt, where 8pt is used for super- and subscripts.
+ Strictly speaking, this is an incompatible change, but I
+ hope that the amount of practical problems is tolerable,
+ as compared with the improvement.
+
+ Fixed Makefile so as not to install the auto-generated .fd
+ files, which are lacking the code for the [small] option.
+
+ VFs and TFMs were now generated with fontinst v1.914, so
+ that the metrics may have changed sligthly, because of
+ improved rounding algorithm. This may cause problems when
+ procesing existing DVI files.
+
+2003-03-02, v2.9b
+ \hbar produces an appropriate warning message now,
+ as suggested by FMi.
+ Additional math symbols \upOmega and \upDelta with type
+ \mathord, to protect against problems with the packages
+ gensymb and units.
+ Small changes to the documentation.
+ Note that the virtual fonts are unchanged.
+
+2002-11-13, v2.9a
+ Virtual fonts: \epsilon and \varepsilon are no longer
+ mixed up.
+ Macro package: The slash, when used as a math delimiter,
+ is now taken from the Euler Roman font, rather than from
+ the text font.
+ Documentation: Minor fixes and additions.
+
+2002-03-10, v2.8
+ Use \familydefault for the operators font, rather
+ than \rmdefault. Minor code cleanup.
+
+2001-04-10, v2.7
+ The option [icomma] is still available, however
+ undocumented. The package icomma.sty from the CTAN
+ directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/was/ should
+ be used instead.
+
+2001-03-06, v2.6
+ Bug fixes: eulervm.sty should now work with amsmath 2.x,
+ regardless of the sequence of loading; \ldots, \vdots,
+ \ddots and the period are taken from the same fonts now,
+ according to the euler-digits option; improved algorithm
+ for the intelligent comma.
+
+ New feature: With the package option [small], the Euler
+ fonts will be used at 95% of their nominal size, thus
+ blending better with certain text fonts such as Minion.
+
+ The virtual fonts are unchanged. When installing v2.6
+ over v2.2, only the package file and the .fd files need to
+ be replaced.
+
+2000-02-02, v2.2
+ Bug fixes: Use Euler script for \mathcal, instead of
+ CM-Calligraphic; added missing bold symbols; improved
+ documentation.
+
+2000-01-19, v2.1
+ first public release
