+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+If you've ever wanted to typeset proper mathematics using Caslon or
+Garamond or Baskerville or whatever types, MathInst may be of use to
+you. It allows you to create proper math fonts for use by TeX and
+LaTeX. You need to tell it the family of Roman types you want to use
+and the raw math fonts---MathTime, Euler, Lucida New Math, or
+Mathematica---you can supply, and this script does the rest. All of
+MathInst's fonts are properly scaled for compatibility with the Roman
+fonts.
+
+If you supply the name of a typewriter and sans serif font as well,
+MathInst will not only create fonts that respond to the NFSS commands
+\mathsf and \mathtt, it will also scale these fonts properly to match
+the Roman math fonts.
+
+If you supply the name of a calligraphic, fraktur, blackboard bold,
+and Greek bold font, MathInst will create matching fonts and commands
+for their use. In particular, if a Greek bold is present, MathInst
+will create bold math fonts.
+
+MathInst also creates two style files---one for use by NFSS (LaTeX)
+and one for plain TeX. There are also two matching test files, so you
+can not only test the fonts, but see how to access these fonts in a
+TeX document.
+
+At the end, MathInst places all your new fonts in their proper places,
+whether you use a traditional or a TDS TeX system.
+
+For many additional details, please read the (LaTeX) file
+`mathinst.tex' which accompanies this material, all of which can be
+found in the fonts/utilities/mathinst area of CTAN. Please forward
+comments and bug reports to me (Alan Hoenig) at
+ajhjj@cunyvm.cuny.edu.
