+
+ To install the bundle:
+o If you want MetaFont sources uncomment the appropriate lines in oldprsn.ins.
+o run: latex oldprsn.ins, which will generate:
+ oldprsn.sty
+ *.fd files
+ oldprsn.map
+ and possibly copsn10.mf
+o Move *.sty and *.fd files to a location where LaTeX will find them
+ e.g., .../texmf-local/tex/latex/oldprsn
+o Move *.afm, *.pfb and *.tfm files to where LaTeX looks for font information
+ e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/afm/public/archaic/*.afm
+ .../texmf-var/fonts/type1/public/archaic/*.pfb
+ .../texmf-var/fonts/tfm/public/archaic/*.tfm
+o Add the *.map information to the dvips/pdftex font maps
+ If you want the MetaFont version as well:
+ o Move the *.mf files to, e.g., .../texmf-var/fonts/source/public/oldprsn
+ o Add a line like the following to the (texmf/fontname/)special.map file:
+ copsn10.mf public oldprsn
+o Refresh the database
+ (for more information on the above see the FAQ).
+
+o run: (pdf)latex tryoldprsn for a test of the font
+
+ If you want a full manual with all the MetaFont and LaTeX code and commentry,
+comment out the \OnlyDescription line in oldprsn.dtx.
+o run: (pdf)latex oldprsn.dtx
+o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist *.idx)
+o run: (pdf)latex *.dtx
+o Print *.(pdf|dvi) for a hardcopy of the package manual
