+All modifications are enumerated in CHANGELOG.
+
+The most important changes are:
+- letters L, l, d, t with caron
+- ligature ft (you can switch it off if you don't like it)
+- ligature *J for alternative J glyph
+- old umlauts *a *e *o *u are working again
+- IL2 (CS) encoded fonts (fkl2*)
+- *.fd files for IL2 and OT1 encoding
+
+IL2 encoding is used mostly by Czech and Slovak TeX users, using
+CSTeX. This encoding is fully compatible with old TeX encoding (OT1),
+i.e. charcters 0-127 are the same as in original Computer Modern fonts,
+so you can use IL2 font as if it were an OT1 font. Actually the *.fd files
+provided do it this way :)
+
+However, fraktur font does not contain all characters from OT1 encoding
+(notably the Greek letters) and I have placed the extra ligatures and
+old umlauted letters in those empty slots.
+
+Characters 128-255 correspond to ISO-8859-2 (ISO Latin-2) with few
+exceptions and a few extra characters. All accented letters from
+ISO Latin-2 are in the right place (except for \c{t}), so you can
+write documents directly in ISO and forget about combinig letters and
+accents. Write "háček" instead of "h\'a\v cek" :).
