+The Math Design fonts
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Free mathematical fonts that match with existing text fonts.
+
+By now, three fonts families are available:
+
+* mdput family corresponds to Adobe Utopia text fonts
+* mdugm family corresponds to URW Garamond text fonts
+* mdbch family corresponds to Bitstream Charter text fonts
+
+The following commercial families are also supported:
+
+* mdpgd family corresponds to Adobe Garamond Pro text fonts
+* mdpus family corresponds to Adobe Utopia Std text fonts
+* mdici family corresponds to ITC Charter text fonts
+
+The fonts provided by the Math Design project are free; you can
+redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General
+Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
+version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
+
+NOTES ON UPGRADING
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When you install a new version of the Math Design fonts, be sure to
+delete all the pk files that has been automatically created by xdvi or
+yap. If you forget to do that, any document read with xdvi or yap will
+look ugly. Anyway, pdf versions and printing will be fine.
+
+Each new version of the fonts introduces small changes in font
+metrics. This can lead to important change in existing document,
+including unexpected line and page breaks.
+
+SMALL CAPITALS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To obtain small capitals with the charter and utopia version of the
+fonts, you must:
+
+1) Obtain the corresponding commercial fonts from your favorite font
+ seller. This is the font you'll need :
+
+ Charter : Charter Small Cap (bchrc8a.pfb)
+ Charter Bold Small Cap (bchbc8a.pfb)
+
+ Utopia : Utopia Expert Regular (putr8x.pfb)
+ Utopia Expert Bold (putb8x.pfb)
+
+ You need the Windows Postscript versions of the fonts.
+
+2) Rename the preceding font files. I have indicated in
+ parenthesis the new name of each file.
+
+3) Put the renamed file somewhere tex will be able to find them.
+
+ $TEXMF/fonts/type1/bitsrea/charter
+
+ or
+
+ $TEXMF/fonts/type1/adobe/utopia
+
+ should be fine.
+
+4) Refresh your texmf file database, by running an utility like
+ "mktexlsr" or "texconfig rehash".
+
+5) That's it ! Now use the mathdesign package with the option
+ "expert". Small caps and oldstyle figure are available with the
+ command \textsc{...}.
+
+OBTAINING TEXT FONTS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can find these free text fonts on CTAN:
+
+CTAN directory of Adobe Utopia : fonts/utopia
+CTAN directory of URW Garamond : nonfree/fonts/urw/garamond
+CTAN directory of Bitstream Charter : fonts/charter
+
+You have to obtain the commercial text fonts from your favorite
+reseller. Only the opentype version of these fonts are supported. You
+will need the following files:
+
+* For Adobe Garamond Pro
+ AGaramondPro-Regular.otf
+ AGaramondPro-Italic.otf
+ AGaramondPro-Semibold.otf
+ AGaramondPro-SemiboldItalic.otf
+* For Adobe Utopia Std
+ UtopiaStd-Regular.otf
+ UtopiaStd-Italic.otf
+ UtopiaStd-Semibold.otf
+ UtopiaStd-SemiboldIt.otf
+* For ITC Charter
+ CharterITCStd-Regular.otf
+ CharterITCStd-Italic.otf
+ CharterITCStd-Bold.otf
+ CharterITCStd-BoldItalic.otf
+
+Put them in your TEXMF tree in the directory
+
+ ${TEXMF}/fonts/opentype/<supplier>/<fontname>
+
+(Supplier is adobe or itc. The fontname is basically what you want.)
+
+You don't need to rename the files. The 'expert' options is useless,
+since this fonts are provided with small caps and oldstyle figures.

+
+REQUIREMENTS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A recent TeX distribution (tetex v. >3.0 or miktex v. >2.0) is
+strongly recommended: the installation process will be *much*
+easier.
+
+The text fonts must be already installed on your system. If these
+fonts are free, you can download them from CTAN. If not, you must get
+them from the supplier.
+
+What you need precisely are the *.pfb files. Install them on your
+texmf tree in the directory
+
+ $TEXMF/fonts/type1/supplier/name
+
+where $TEXMF is the path of your texmf root, supplier is the name of
+the supplier of the font (e.g. adobe) and name is the name of
+the font (e.g. utopia).
+
+If you use some recent distribution (e.g. MikTeX, tetex, etc.)
+the free fonts are probably already installed on your system.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you use a recent TeX distribution (miktex, tetex, ...), you should
+use the tools furnished with the distribution.
+
+If you want to install the package by yourself:
+
+0) First, you must choose the texmf tree where you want to install the
+ Math Design fonts. This tree is probably some local or personal tree
+ (for example: "c:/localtexmf" with miktex >2.3).
+
+1) Download the archive mathdesign-tds.zip and unzip it in this
+ directory. The mathdesign-tds.zip file is located in the
+ install/fonts of any ctan repository.
+
+2) Now refresh your texmf file database, by running an utility
+ like "mktexlsr" or "texconfig rehash".
+
+3) Update the configuration files of your favourite drivers
+ (e.g. dvips, xdvi, yap, pdftex, etc.).
+
+ On recent distributions, a script called 'updmap' does all the job
+ for you.
+
+ Add the following lines at the end of the file 'updmap.cfg':
+
+ Map mdput.map
+ Map mdugm.map
+ Map mdbch.map
+ Map mdpus.map
+ Map mdpgd.map
+ Map mdici.map
+
+ and then run 'updmap' from a command line.
+
+
+ENJOY
+~~~~~
+
+To use the package, simply add the following line in the preamble of
+your source file:
+
+\usepackage[supplier-typeface]{mathdesign}
+
+Where supplier-typeface is one the following:
+
+ adobe-utopia
+ urw-garamond
+ bitsream-charter
+
+ adobe-garamond
+ adobe-utopiastd
+ itc-charter
+
+Please read the documentation for more options and commands.
+
+
+
+Thank you for using the Math Design fonts and happy TeXing :-)
