+Files: fntproof.tex, fntproof-doc.tex fntproof-doc.pdf
+
+Purpose:
+
+ The file fntproof.tex is essentiallly Knuth's testfont.tex, modified
+ to make all tests noninteractive (no prompting for data).
+
+License:
+
+ All files are public domain.
+
+Usage:
+
+ You can input fntproof in a file, and then use the commands in that
+ file, or you can type the commands on the command line. By default,
+ the first "word" after the fntproof.tex has been read in is taken to
+ be the TFM name of a font to test. Use \noinit to delay the reading of
+ the font name.
+
+Examples:
+
+ Command line:
+ tex fntproof cmti10 <commands>
+ tex fntproof \noinit Normal text. \init cmti10 <commands>
+
+ In a file:
+ \input fntproof cmr10 <commands>
+ \input fntproof \noinit Normal text. \init cmti10 <commands>
+
+ <commands> include \table, \text, \sample which produce, respectively,
+ - a table of characters in the font,
+ - some text using the font, and
+ - both of the above.
+
+ All commands available in testfont.tex are included (in noninteractive
+ versions).
+
+Documentation:
+ See fntproof-doc.pdf for complete documentation. It may be regenerated
+ by running pdflatex (twice) on fntproof-doc.tex.
