+mflogo --- LaTeX support for Metafont and MetaPost logos.

+DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directory contains the documented sources of the `mflogo'
+package for LaTeX(2e) and the corresponding font definition files
+that provide access to the METAFONT and METAPOST `logo' fonts.
+
+The `mflogo' package defines the font commands |\logofamily| and
+|\textlogo| to access the `logo' fonts directly. It also defines
+the macros |\MF| and |\MP| for the METAFONT and METAPOST logos in
+terms of these font commands, which ensures that the logos will
+follow font changes just as the |\TeX| logo does and always did.
+
+To use this package, you'll need the complete and up-to-date set
+of `logo' fonts, located in the directory CTAN:fonts/mflogo.
+
+To facilitate the installation, the directory containing the
+`logo' fonts is made available through a symbolic link `fonts',
+so that the contents of CTAN:fonts/mflogo is automatically
+included as a subdirectory if you download this directory as a
+`.zip' or `.tar.gz' archive.
+
+
+HISTORY:
+
+The `mflogo' package was developed in early 1994 when LaTeX2e was
+still in a beta-test phase. The first public release of `mflogo'
+(v1.2 in May 1994) predated the release of the first production
+version of LaTeX as of 1994/06/01.
+
+The second release of `mflogo' (v1.5 in September 1995) cleaned up
+some internals and fixed the space factor after the logos, just as
+it is done for the |\TeX| and |\LaTeX| logos in the LaTeX kernel.
+
+The present release of `mflogo' (v2.0 in March 1999) clarifies the
+distribution conditions, adopting the LaTeX Project Public License.
+
+
+OVERVIEW:
+
+The `mflogo' distribution consists of the following files:
+
+ README - this file, i.e. the file you are reading
+ Makefile - Makefile to install the LaTeX package
+ mflogo.ins - LaTeX installation script
+ mflogo.dtx - documented source of the LaTeX package
+
+Subdirectory `fonts':
+
+ README - some notes on the `logo' fonts
+ Makefile - Makefile to install the `logo' fonts
+
+Subdirectory `fonts/source':
+
+ logo.mf - Metafont program to draw the logo charaters
+ logo*.mf - Metafont drivers for various sizes and shapes
+
+Subdirectory `fonts/tfm':
+
+ logo*.tfm - TeX font metrics for various sizes and shapes
+
+
+INSTALLATION:
+
+(1) Before installing the `mflogo' LaTeX package and processing
+the documentation, you should first make sure that you have a
+complete and up-to-date set of the `logo' fonts. If you're
+lucky, the `logo' fonts may have already been provided as part
+of your TeX distribution. Otherwise, proceed by changing to the
+`fonts' subdirectory and installing the fonts from there.
+
+if you have a TDS-compatible TeX installation, you may try to use
+the enclosed `Makefile' in the `fonts' subdirectory by calling
+
+ cd fonts ; make install TEXMF=/wherever/texmf
+
+For manual installation of the font sources and font metric files,
+please consult the file `fonts/README'.
+
+(2) After the required fonts have been installed, return to this
+distribution directory. To unpack the `mflogo' LaTeX package
+and to typeset the documentation, proceed as follows:
+
+If you have a TDS-compatible TeX installation, you may try to use
+the enclosed `Makefile' by calling
+
+ make TEXMF=/wherever/texmf
+ make install TEXMF=/wherever/texmf
+
+For manual installation, run
+
+ latex mflogo.ins
+
+to unpack the package file `mflogo.sty' and the corresponding
+font definition files `ulogo.fd' from the source file `mflogo.dtx'.
+
+To typeset the documentation, run
+
+ (pdf)latex mflogo.dtx
+
+to generate `mflogo.dvi' and/or `mflogo.pdf'. This requires
+the `mflogo' and, of course, the `logo' fonts.
+
+Finally, to install the `mflogo' package, copy the files
+`mflogo.sty' and `ulogo.fd' to TEXMF/tex/latex/mflogo/ or
+wherever else your installation keeps LaTeX `.sty' files.
+
+
+TROUBLESHOOTING:
+
+The `mflogo' package boldly assumes that your TeX distribution
+provides a complete and up-to-date version of the `logo' fonts,
+including some non-standard variants and some extra characters
+that were absent from earlier (pre-1993) versions.
+
+While it should no problem to regenerate PK-bitmap fonts from
+the updated Metafont sources, if necessary, some problems may
+arise when using PostScript Type 1 versions of the `logo' fonts.
+
+Unless you happen to have access to some commercial versions of
+the up-to-date `logo' fonts in Type 1 format as sold by Y&Y Inc.,
+it is highly recommended to use the freely-distributable versions
+by Taco Hoekwater, which are available from CTAN archives in:
+
+ CTAN:fonts/cm/utilityfonts/logo/ps-type1/hoekwater/logo*.pfb
+
+It is no longer recommended to use the freely-distributable
+versions of `logo' fonts provided by the American Mathematical
+Society, which are available from CTAN archives in:
+
+ CTAN:fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky/logo*.pfb
+
+Unfortunately, those fonts are out-of-date and do not provide a
+complete set of sizes and shapes required by `mflogo' package.
+
+
+Happy TeXing!
