+The package has two rather different modes, one intended for use as main text and the other intended for use as a typewriter font defining \verb|\ttdefault| for use with Typewriter Text and Verbatim text environments such as \verb|\texttt| and \verb|\verb|. In the example above, {\tt algolrevived} becomes the default Roman font, with the following features, details of which are described in more detail later in this document.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+Hyphenation is enabled but may be turned off with the option {\tt nohyphens};
+\item
+the asterisk character renders as the high asterisk *. The low asterisk is available using \verb|\textasteriskcentered|, like \textasteriskcentered;
+\item lining figures do not have a slashed zero: 0123456789;
+\item
+there is a {\tt compoundwordmark} in the T1 encoding, and there are {\tt capitalwordmark} and {\tt ascenderwordmark} in the TS1 encoding;
+\item
+the TS1 encoding is quite complete and has many additional symbols that are not part of the standard TS1 encoding;
+\item oldstyle figures are available---they may be made the default using the option {\tt osf} or {\tt oldstyle}, or from the TS1 encoding;
+\item inferior and superior figures are provided along with a \verb|\textfrac| macro;
+\item a \verb|\textcircled| macro is provided.
+\end{itemize}

+\textbf{Usage as Typewriter Font}
+
+The option {\tt tt} to {\tt algolrevived} changes the mode to {\tt Typewriter} with different behavior.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item
+Hyphenation is suppressed;
+\item
+the asterisk is low in this case, with the same effect as \verb|\textasteriskcentered|.
+\item \verb|\ttdefault| is set to {\tt AlgolRevived-TLF-TT}---in particular, oldstyle figure settings are ignored;
+\item the default lining figure zero is slashed---you may change this using the option {\tt nozeroslash};
+\item the figure style macros such as \verb|\textosf| and the \verb|\textcircled| remain available.

+The macro \verb|\textcircled| that may be used to construct a circled version of a single letter or numeral using \verb|\textbigcircle| for the encircling glyph. The argument is always constructed from uppercased letters and numerals, so, in effect, you can only construct circled uppercase: \verb|\textcircled{M}| and \verb|\textcircled{m}| have the same effect, namely~\textcircled{M}. Circled numerals are also available: \verb|\textcircled{0}...| produces \textcircled{0}\dots\textcircled{9}.

+\item \verb|\textfrac{3}{4}| uses superior and inferior figures to make the fraction \textfrac{3}{4}, and an optional argument is available for the whole number part: \verb|\textfrac[2]{31}{32}| renders as \textfrac[2]{31}{32}. The spacing may be tinkered with by redefining the macro \verb|\textfrac| and by setting the two options {\tt foresolidus} and {\tt aftsolidus} which modify the spacing around the fraction solidus.

The sty file requires textcomp so there is no need to load it separately. Textcomp adds the following glyphs. (The mathematical symbols in the otherwise vacant slots in positions 192 and up were mostly borrowed from the STIX math fonts, which use the same SIL OFL as this package. The names below were in those cases are the same as the STIX names, prefixed by "text".)

+\textbf{Package Details}
+
+The package is laid out a bit differently from the typical one, and it may help some to know a few details.
+
+There are six {\tt fd} files corresponding to each of the text encodings {\tt OT1, T1, LY1}, and two for {\tt TS1}, the text companion encoding. These are:
+\begin{verbatim}
+LY1AlgolRevived-Inf.fd
+LY1AlgolRevived-Sup.fd
+LY1AlgolRevived-OsF.fd
+LY1AlgolRevived-TLF.fd
+LY1AlgolRevived-OsF-TT.fd
+LY1AlgolRevived-TLF-TT.fd
+OT1AlgolRevived-Inf.fd
+OT1AlgolRevived-Sup.fd
+OT1AlgolRevived-OsF.fd
+OT1AlgolRevived-TLF.fd

+OT1AlgolRevived-TLF-TT.fd

+T1AlgolRevived-OsF-TT.fd
+T1AlgolRevived-TLF-TT.fd
+TS1AlgolRevived-OsF.fd
+TS1AlgolRevived-TLF.fd
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The last two have essentially identical effect, each pointing to {\tt tfm} files of the form {\tt AlgolRevived-ts1.tfm}, {\tt AlgolRevived-Medium-ts1.tfm} and so on. These were all crafted with {\tt afm2tfm} because {\tt otftotfm} had repeated problems with distinguishing {\tt dollar} from {\tt dollaroldstyle} and {\tt cent} from {\tt centoldstyle}. To get the compond word marks right involved modifying the afm files after each edit to make their heights correct, then running {\tt afm2tfm} with the {\tt -v} option to get a virtual font which would register those heights correctly.
+
+Each of the text font encodings have essentially the same structure, so I'll limit my remarks mainly to {\tt T1}. All except the {\tt -TT} were generated by {\tt autoinst}.
+
+The {\tt -Inf} and {\tt -Sup} are for the inferior and superior letters respectively, while {\tt -TLF} and {\tt OsF} are for the two normal figure styles you might choose from in text mode. The {\tt -TT} case is more interesting, having been generated by {\tt afm2tfm} because {\tt autoinst} and {\tt otftotfm} don't give you much help with making the changes needed for a Typewriter font as distinct from a normal text font. For {\tt T1} and {\tt LY1} encoded fonts, the main difference, aside from lacking f-ligatures and the like, is that the asterisk is low in Typewriter and high in normal text. However, for {\tt OT1}, there are sixteen additional changes required in order to match the typewriter encoding used in {\tt cmtt}.
+
+Each of the {\tt -TT fd} files points to {\tt tfm} files with names like
+{\tt AlgolRevived-t1tt.tfm} with no figure style mentioned, because the figure style there is always {\tt TLF}. That is, {\tt T1AlgolRevived-OsF-TT.fd} and
+{\tt T1AlgolRevived-TLF-TT.fd} have essentially identical contents, but both are required to be there to conform to the LaTeX font selection scheme. There is in all cases a 0 or 1 in the name, signifying the slashed zero (1) or the unslashed 0 (0).
