+psfonts metrics for Textures (1995/08/20)
+============================
+
+A selection of metrics from the CTAN fonts/psfonts distribution converted
+for use with Textures.
+
+By Constantin Kahn <kahn@math.toronto.edu>, <kahn@math.uni-hannover.de>
+
+
+Contents
+--------
+
+There are three binhexed Compact Pro archives in this collection:
+
+lw35-metrics.cpt.hqx
+ expands to a metrics suitcase `LW35 psnfss+dvips metrics' which contains
+ all psnfss and dvips metrics for the basic 35 PostScript fonts. These are
+ precisely the metrics contained in the psfonts/adobe subdirectories
+ avantgar, bookman, courier, helvetic, ncntrsbk, palatino, symbol, times,
+ zapfchan, and zapfding with the exception of the metrics corresponding to
+ the Helvetica-Light fonts. In addition there is a small suitcase
+ `8r reencoding' which contains the Textures support for the 8r encoding.
+
+lw35-nodvips.cpt.hqx
+ expands to a metrics suitcase `LW35 psnfss metrics' which contains a
+ subset of the suitcase `LW35 psnfss+dvips metrics'; all metrics which are
+ only relevant for backwards compatibility with dvips metrics have been
+ removed. For typesetting with the LaTeX2e psnfss package this smaller
+ suitcase is sufficient. In addition there is a small suitcase
+ `8r reencoding' which contains the Textures support for the 8r encoding.
+
+lucida-metrics.cpt.hqx
+ expands to a metrics suitcase `Lucida Bright psnfss metrics' which contains
+ all metrics in the psfonts/bh/* directories; this set covers most of the
+ fonts belonging to the Lucida Bright, Lucida NewMath, and Lucida Expert
+ sets. Two small suitcases `phvluc metrics' and `ptmluc metrics' contain
+ Lucida based math fonts for Helvetica and Times based on the fontinst
+ sources in the psnfss distribution. In addition there is a small suitcase
+ `8r reencoding' which contains the Textures support for the 8r encoding.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Download the relevant *.cpt.hqx files as text files, debinhex them, and
+extract the contents from the resulting archives. (Stuffit Expander will
+perform the last two steps if the downloaded files are dropped onto it.)
+
+Then drop the resulting Textures metrics suitcases into the `TeX Fonts'
+folder (or into `TeX Metrics'). The `8r reencoding' suitcases contained in
+all three archives are identical. Only one is needed in the `TeX Fonts' or
+the `TeX Metrics' folder.
+
+IMPORTANT: This will only install the *metrics* in the Textures sense, i.e.,
+the equivalent of the `tfm', `vf', and `dvips' subdirectories of individual
+font directories. You will still need to download and install all the
+required *.fd and *.sty files into a directory where Textures can find them
+before the fonts can be used with LaTeX2e.
+
+Requirements: Textures 1.7 or later is required; version 1.7.5 or newer is
+recommended.
+
+
+More comments can be found in the README files contained in the individual
+archives.
