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. + + +Copyright and License +===================== + +The Covington fonts (designed by Derek Vogelpohl) are covered by the +following license: + + The fonts on this site are freeware and can be used as they are in + any context without permission from Apostrophic Laboratories, + except to produce material that is racist, criminal and/or illegal + in nature.
