+Version 1.4 of the AE fonts
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is a set of virtual fonts building, from the standard CM fonts,
+a set of almost T1 encoded fonts. The characters missing are mainly:
+eth, thorn, and the sami letter eng. Sometimes the £ character is
+also missing. For the typewriter fonts, the situation is worse.
+
+My idea with these fonts is that it should be possible to use the
+exisiting Type1 versions of the CM fonts to produce PDF files even
+when one needs hyphenation patterns other than English.
+
+It would be nice to have a font containing the missing caracters, in
+order to make the layout fully T1. By the way, the name AE fonts was
+chosen since the fonts are Almost European Computer Modern.
+
+To use the fonts, simply \usepackage{ae}.
+
+To use bitmap versions of the characters missing in the ae fonts,
+\usepackage{aecompl}.
+
+Denis Roegel has constructed a separate package, aeguill, to produce
+guillemets built with the polish CMR fonts, WNCYR fonts, LASY fonts,
+or EC fonts.
+
+Changes since version 1.3:
+
+* Apparently, cmr5 does not contain any f-ligatures. Corrected the
+ fontinst script to create faked ones instead.
+
+Changes since version 1.2:
+
+* The sans-serif slides fonts were added. Gilbert Ritschard contributed
+ support for those fonts in ae.sty; if the option [slides] is given,
+ the sans-serif slides fonts are used.
+
+Changes since version 1.1:
+
+* Matthias Köppe contributed an adjustment of the positioning of
+ umlauts and better kerning in some cases.
+
+* Added the files omsaer.fd and omlaer.fd to get rid of some
+ LaTeX warnings.
+
+Changes since version 1.0:
+
+* Denis Roegel contributed aecompl.sty; a style file which adds
+ (as bitmaps) the characters missing in the ae fonts.
+
+Changes since version 0.9:
+
+* ae.sty no longer fails if the EC fonts are not installed.
+* The fi-type ligatures in aecsc are fixed.
+
+Changes since version 0.8:
+
+* Rolf Niepraschk contributed ae.sty.
+* Some character heights and depths were corrected.
