+For renaming the .pfb and .afm files that come with Corel software, a half
+automatic tool is work in progress. You can try the first version by
+putting the files translate-font.pl and transtabl into one writable
+directory in your PATH. Modify the first line of translate-font.pl to match
+the location of your Perl interpreter. At first startup you will be
+asked for a mountpoint for the CD, enter /cdrom/ or f:\ or the like.
+This will be checkpointed in a file called mountpoint. Remove this
+file in order to use another mount point. Call translate-font.pl in
+either one of the following two ways:
+
+ translate-font.pl PATTERN
+
+this will scan the font directories for all fonts that match the PATTERN
+and output their names (if extractable from the .pfb file). PATTERN
+must begin with a letter in [a-z] and may contain wildcards, thus
+'amri*' will output the names of the amerigo fonts. Take care to hide
+the wildcards from prior shell expansion by using single quotes of
+backslashification.
+
+ translate-font.pl PATTERN pfb or
+ translate-font.pl PATTERN afm
+
+this will copy any matching font to the current directory, provided
+their names are already known in »transtabl«. This file consists of
+lines that list the original font name followed by white space
+followed by the tex font name (without suffixes). I hope, the names do
+not differ from one Corel version to the other.
+
+You will find the correct tex font name in Karl Berry's fontname files
+(CTAN:doc/fontname/). They might not in any case match the names in the
+.map files in this distribution, however.
+
+This tool is not expected to work under DOS at the moment, not even if
+you have the head, tail and strings programs installed. This will change
+only by your aid.
+
+Please send me any font translation rules you have added, hints about
+bugs and errors to Karsten Tinnefeld <karsten@tinnefeld.com>.
+
+Please note that corelpak-contrib does not, will not and never has included
+any third hand copyrighted material, be it names, strokes, measurements or
+whatever.
