+This is a copy of the fonts which URW has made available under the GNU
+General Public License, installed with fontinst 1.6 for use with LaTeX2e.
+The afm and pfa files have been taken from CTAN/fonts/urw/ and included
+in this bundle. It provides the following fonts:
+
+URWAntiquaT-RegularCondensed
+URWGroteskT-Bold
+NimbusRomanNo9L-Regular
+NimbusSansL-Regular
+
+in upright, slanted, small caps and slanted small caps versions (with a
+little cheating, however), in OT1, T1, 8r and OT4 encodings.
+
+NimbusRomanNo9L-Regular and NimbusSansL-Regular are close to Adobe Times
+Roman and Adobe Helvetica, respectively. The most interesting is
+URWGroteskT-Bold which, being extremely bold, is useful for decorative
+work, titling etc.
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+Assuming your TeX conforms with the TDS:
+
+1) move the three tfm directories from ./tfm/ to $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/urw/
+2) move the three vf directories from ./vf/ to $TEXMF/fonts/vf/urw/
+3) move the three afm directories from ./afm/ to $TEXMF/fonts/afm/urw/
+4) move the three pfa directories from ./pfa/ to $TEXMF/fonts/type1/urw/
+5) move the *.fd and *.sty files from ./latex2e/ to $TEXMF/tex/latex/urw/
+6) add the contents of ./fontname/urw.map to $TEXMF/fontname/urw.map
+7) add the contents of ./dvips/psfonts.map to $TEXMF/dvips/misc/psfonts.map
+8) texhash
+
+In case you don't use the (local) OT4 encoding, you may delete all the files:
+*8p.vf, *8p.tfm and ot4*.fd.
+
+USAGE
+
+The package urw.sty provides the following font declarations and commands:
+
+\antiquafamily \textantiqua{ }
+\grotesqfamily \textgrotesq{ }
+\nimbusfamily \textnimbus{ }
+\nimbussffamily \textnimbussf{ }
+
+which activate the desired font families. Antiqua, nimbus and nimbussf
+are available only in medium (m) series, grotesq --- only in bold (b) series.
+The available shapes are:
+
+\upshape regular
+\itshape actually a slanted (oblique) shape
+\scshape small caps
+\slshape slanted small caps
+
+Additionally there are three styles: antiqua.sty, grotesq.sty and
+nimbus.sty (the last one for both regular and sans serif fonts) that
+(attempt to) replace the default roman (and sans serif in case of
+nimbus.sty) font families with the new ones. Since only the small number
+of series/shape combinations are available, they are not very useful,
+however.
