+Using Linotype Palatino with Latex
+==================================
+
+This package contains everything you need (apart from
+the fonts themselves) to use Linotype Palatino in your
+Latex documents.
+
+The Truetype version of Linotype Palatino contains a
+much larger character set than earlier (Postscript)
+versions of Palatino, including Greek, Cyrillic and
+small caps in all weights and shapes.
+It is distributed with Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP.
+
+
+USING THE FONTS
+---------------
+
+Using these fonts in your Latex documents is as easy as
+specifying
+
+ \usepackage{palatinox} (*)
+
+somewhere in the preamble of your document (but note
+that they should be used with Pdftex, not with normal
+Tex; most dvi-drivers don't support Truetype fonts).
+
+(*) It's named `palatinox' to avoid confusion with
+ the `palatino' package in the PSNFSS bundle.
+
+
+The package `palatinox' takes two possible options:
+
+- lining Use lining figures
+- oldstyle Use oldstyle figures (this is the default).
+
+The fonts are only available in T1 and TS1 encodings;
+the `palatinox' package automatically sets up these
+encodings for you by including the `fontenc' and
+`textcomp' packages.
+The obsolete OT1 encoding, which unfortunately is still
+Latex's default, is not supported.
+

+NFSS CLASSIFICATION

+T1 lplx m, b n, it, sc, ic (*)
+T1 lplj m, b n, it, sc, ic
+TS1 lplx m, b n, it

+
+(*) ic = Italic (small) Caps
+
+The TS1-encoded fonts are incomplete; many symbols in this
+encoding are specific to the Computer Modern fonts. The
+euro symbol (\texteuro), however, is included.
