+------------------------------------------------------------
+ The virtual mathpple fonts v2.0a
+ for PSNFSS 8.1
+------------------------------------------------------------
+ 2000-05-02

+ <walter.schmidt@arcormail.de>
+
+This directory contains the fontinst sources of the virtual
+mathpple fonts for typesetting math with Adobe Palatino.
+
+The `Makefile' must be edited to reflect the directory
+structure of your TeX system and the command to invoke TeX.
+Currently it suits OS/2 with emTeX/TDS. Targets are:
+
+make tex
+ runs the master source file fontplcme.tex through TeX and
+ creates the .vpl and .fd files
+
+make metrics
+ creates the .vf and .tfm files
+
+make installfonts
+ copies all the .vf, .tfm and .fd files to the right
+ directories
+
+make all
+ makes all above targets
+
+make clean, make realclean
+ cleans up
+

+ Changes
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Version 2.0a as of 2000-05-02
+
+* This is part of PSNFSS 8.1 now.
+* The distribition includes patched afm's,
+ with the 1-1 kerns removed.
+* \Re, \Im taken from Euler instead of CM Symbols.
+* \infty taken from euex10 instead of CM;
+ as a result, boldface \infty is missing now.
+* Metrics for eurm10 and eurb10 are now taken from the
+ tfm's, as oposed to afm's, so as to avoid rounding errors.
+
+Version 1.1 (1999-04-20)
+
+* (changes affected the style file only)
+
+Version 1.0 (1999-04-05)
+
+* Comma and period for math are now taken from Palatino, as
+ opposed to CM Math Italic.
+* Small adjustments to the spacing of a few characters.
+
+Version 0.97 (1999-01-07)
+
+* the first public release
+

+
+The mathpple fonts are based on fontinst scripts written by
+Aloysius Helminck, which were distributed in conjunction
+with fontinst v1.335, but are no longer available from the
+CTAN. The main changes with regard to Helminck's model are:
+
+* italic Greek letters from the Euler fonts;
+* \mathcal from CM instead of Zapf Chancery;
+* positioning of math accents substantially improved;
+* improved spacing;
+* cmex9 isn't used any more, because there is no Type1
+ version of this typeface in the AMS distribution.
+
+Special thanks also to Daniel Schlieper, who proposed the
+project, wrote the very first version of the style file
+mathpple.sty, contributed many good ideas and helped me with
+testing.
