+ +--------------------------------+
+ | THE COVFONTS PACKAGE |
+ | Scott Pakin, pakin@uiuc.edu |
+ +--------------------------------+
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The covfonts package provides all of the files needed to make the
+Apostrophic Laboratories's freely distributable Covington font
+available to TeX and LaTeX.
+
+covfonts.pdf contains some brief documentation and font samples.
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+coving_t1.zip and covingSC_t1.zip contain the unmodified PostScript
+Type 1 versions of the Covington typeface as downloaded from
+http://www.apostrophiclab.com/. Copy all of the .pfb files from those
+ZIP archives into texmf/fonts/type1/public/covfonts. Optionally copy
+all of the .afm files into texmf/fonts/afm/public/covfonts.
+
+Copy the contents of covfonts's texmf subdirectory onto your local
+texmf directory (e.g., /usr/local/texmf or C:\localtexmf). Run
+texhash or invoke whatever program is needed to update TeX's filename
+database.
+
+Tell dvips, pdftex, xdvi, yap, etc. to utilize covfonts.map. In the
+teTeX TeX distribution, this is done by adding covfonts.map (possibly
+with full pathname) to the extra_modules section of the updmap script
+(located in texmf/dvips/config/) then running updmap. In other
+distributions, you may need to add "p +covfonts.map" to your config.ps
+file (probably also located in texmf/dvips/config/) and, if you use
+pdfTeX, "map +covfonts.map" to your pdftex.cfg file (probably in
+texmf/pdftex/config/).
+
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Put "\usepackage{covfonts}" in your document's preamble. This
+replaces Computer Modern with Covington as the default body font.
