+ Fontinst files for Malvern 1.2
+ pdc 1994.07.20
+
+Malvern is a sanserif METAFONT font family, which should be available
+from the CTAN archives (such as ftp.tex.ac.uk in directory tex-archive)
+in directory fonts/malvern.
+
+These files are intended to be used with Alan Jeffrey's Fontinst
+package. Fontinst is a package for generating composite ("virtual")
+fonts, written in TeX for portability. For example, you can use
+Fontinst to create Malvern fonts with the new Cork (T1) encoding. You
+can get fontinst from the CTAN, in directory fonts/utilities/fontinst.
+
+Encoding files
+ These can be used inside an fontinst file, and can also be run
+ through plain TeX to produce a printed copy of the encoding.
+
+ pdcmaa.etx -- describes MAlvern A encoding
+
+ pdcmaa3.etx -- describes MAlvern A encoding with two changes: (1) no
+ old-style figures (2) no medium capitals
+
+ pdcmab.etx -- describes MAlvern B encoding
+
+Glyph fudge files
+ Definitions used to assemble glyphs in Xx into glyphs for Yy are
+ called pdcxxyy.mtx (think "Xx to Yy")
+
+ pdcmat1.mtx -- glyph hacks for making T1 (Cork) glyphs from MAlvern
+ encoded fonts. This goes *before* latin.mtx.
+
+ pdcadma.mtx -- glyph hacks for making MAlvern glyphs from ADobe
+ standard roman glyphs
+
+Macro files
+ pdcetxf.tex
+ -- ETX Formatting macros (used when running TeX on an ETX file to
+ make a printed copy of the character encoding)
+
+ pdcetxm.tex
+ -- ETX Macros (used in the business part of an ETX file)
+
+Miscellaneous
+ example.tex -- an example TeX file that generates fmvmq10.vpl
