+This file contains instructions for one way of installing and using
+the lovely Poetica fonts from Adobe Systems with TeX and LaTeX. The
+files in this area contain everything but the font files themselves
+(*.pfb) which are of course proprietary.
+
+The main description of this material appears in the article by Alan
+Hoenig (me) in the Proceedings of the 16th Annual TeX User Group
+meeting, St. Pete Beach, FL, 1995 (to appear).  Alas, that article
+requires the actual Poetica fonts themselves, so although that file
+(poetica.tex) is included, the commands to actually include the
+Poetica types have been commented out.  It should be construed as the
+user guide.
+
+Setting Up.
+===========
+
+Place all the vf files in the vf/ subdirectory with all your other vf
+(virtual font) files.  
+
+Place all the tfm files in the tfm/ subdirectory with your other tfm
+files.
+
+Place all the input files in the inputs/ subdirectory with your other
+system inputs (probably in a place called something like
+/usr/tex/inputs).  You might want to rename the file `ot1poe.fd' to
+`OT1poe.fd' if your system allows this. The file fontpoet.tex is the
+fontinst installation file.
+
+Check the file poetica.map in the doc/ subdirectory.  It gives the
+correspondance between the raw font files and the Poetica fonts.  You
+should rename your Poetical font files according to the entries in
+this file.  For example, the first line of this file reads
+
+  poce0		Poetica-ChanceryExpert	</psfonts/poce.pfb
+
+which means you have to find the .pfb file whose FontName is
+Poetica-ChanceryExpert and rename is to `poce.pfb'.  (This is a
+laborious process; sorry about that.)  Proceed in this way for of the
+files.  The part following the angle bracket is an instruction for
+dvips to download this font file as needed from a directory called
+/psfonts on my system.  You'll need to change this designation to
+accord with the place where you store the .pfb files.  Add the
+contents of poetica.map to psfonts.map, the dvips alias file. 
+
+Using the Fonts.
+================
+
+Plain TeX Users:  Check the contents of the vf/ subdirectory.  Any one
+of these fonts can be can be selected and used in the usual way, ie,
+ 
+ \font\foo=poce at 18pt \foo
+
+LaTeX2e Users:  Use the package poetica.sty via a declaration like
+ 
+ \usepackage{poetica}
+
+which makes the Poetica environment available to you.  Check the file
+poetica.tex for further details.
+
+LaTeX209 Users: Since the poetica package uses the New Font Selection
+Scheme heavily, there's no special advantage to be gained by using
+this material in latex209.  My advice: upgrade to latex2e.
+
+Testing.
+========
+
+The files sonnet.tex and beauty.tex in the doc\ subdirectory provide a
+test of Poetica typesetting.  After installation, compile these files
+using latex2e.
+
+Good Luck!
+==========
+
+If you have any comments or suggestions, drop me an electronic line.
+Enjoy this stuff.
