+# Interface to the wasy fonts for LaTeX2e.
+
+## License
+
+This material is subject to the LATEX Project Public License 1.3c.
+
+wasysym does work with the old wasy-fonts but some characters are
+missing and others may come out wrong. Therefore I suggest
+to upgrade to wasy.
+
+The WASY fonts are provided as METAFONT fonts.
+There is a package wasy-type1 that contains the outline fonts.
+
+Bug reports (and enhancements) to
+
+Axel Kielhorn
+tex@axelkielhorn.de
+
+Please note that the EC fonts (former DC fonts) come with
+a textcompanion font that contains a lot of special characters.
+Use the textcomp package to access these symbols.
+
+Many TeX fonts are now supporting a wide range of Unicode symbols.
+You may look there first.
+
+This package supports the WASY fonts version 2.4 or
+wasy-type1 version 001.001.
+When used with older versions some characters may be missing.
+
+## Changes:
+
+1.0b
+: Corrected mathcode of integrals (now 1) (=mathop)
+
+1.0c
+: The command is textwasy as defined and not textlasy as
+ shown in the margin
+
+1.0d
+: Adapted to LaTeX2e[1994/06/01]
+
+1.0e
+: Changed some symbols from mathrel to mathbin as in latexsym
+ Changed the way the documentation is generated form
+ latex2e-beta to official LaTeX2e-way.
+
+1.0f
+: Corrected \dh and \Dh definition for T1 encoding
+ Renamed \Dh to \DH as in T1 encoding but keeping the old
+ name for compatibility
+
+1.0g
+: Reinserted the \hbox commands, wasysym now works in mathmode again
+
+1.0f
+: Changed most \hbox commands to \mbox (thanks to Donald Arseneau)
+ Donald added partial support for AMSmath
+
+1.0i
+: Changed license to LPPL, some documentation updates.
+
+2.0
+: Changed the way integrals are handled
+ Corrected some definitions (missing \leavevmode)
+
+2.0a
+: Removed \rm from \DH command. It now works in
+ italic and bold as well, but the italic version looks
+ somewhat strange. I suggest using a T1 encoded font instead.
+
+2.3
+: Updated to support version 2.3 of the WASY fonts.
+ New characters added: \Paragraph, \euro and \applecmd.
+ Support for the bold and slanted version of wasy10.
+
+2.4
+: Updated to support version 2.4 of the WASY fonts.
+ New characters added: \longs (Unicode 017f) and \roundz a variant of the
+ letter z that got reintroduced to german writing with the
+ Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift.
