+LICENSE
+=======
+
+This package should be distributed and used together with it's origin
+under the terms specified for that origin by Charles Wikner. Currently
+(as for version 2.0 of the origin) it is LaTeX Project Public License.
+
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+============
+
+TeX system capable for producing PostScript/PDF files (e.g. system including
+dvips, pdfTeX or similar software).
+
+
+The files that you should have are:
+
+readme.txt This file.
+sktdoc.pdf Documentation of origin typesetted using Type 1 fonts.
+skt.map Configuration file for dvips and pdfTeX program.
+skt8.pfb PS Type 1 font file for skt font at 8pt upright.
+skt9.pfb PS Type 1 font file for skt font at 9pt upright.
+skt10.pfb PS Type 1 font file for skt font at 10pt upright.
+sktb10.pfb PS Type 1 font file for skt font at 10pt upright bold.
+sktf10.pfb PS Type 1 font file for skt font at 10pt upright feint.
+skts10.pfb PS Type 1 font file for skt font at 10pt slanted.
+sktbs10.pfb PS Type 1 font file for skt font at 10pt bold slanted.
+sktfs10.pfb PS Type 1 font file for skt font at 10pt feint slanted.

+REVISION HISTORY
+================
+ * Revision 1.0 2004/08/24 Sergey Korop svk@lib.ru
+
+ Initial release.
+
+ * Revision 1.1 2005/01/23 Sergey Korop svk@lib.ru
+
+ Fixed incompatibility with dvips: changed /FullName and /FontName
+ font properties to match PS Font names specified in the map file.
+ Thanks to Mr. Hartmut Henkel for bugreport and proposed solution.
+
+TECHNICAL ISSUES
+================
+
+ 1. There are no UniqueIDs for the fonts provided in this package.
+ According to Type 1 font specs, this is allowed feature, but
+ it may probably confuse some font processing software and/or
+ hardware. However, I think that using no UniqueID is better
+ than guessing one with risk of collision.
+
+ 2. Fonts were generated from METAFONT sources automagically using
+ textrace program. Due to the nature of this process, some
+ discrepancies with original fonts may appear.
+
+ 3. To ensure backward compatibility, always make sure that you are
+ using the same versions of *.pfb files and their *.mf origins.
+
+ 4. Names of PostScript fonts (i.e. /FullName, /FontName, etc) don't
+ match the names of original TeX fonts. I'm not sure this was the
+ best possible solution, but proposed names are:
+
+ -- self-explainatory (i.e one can always identify the origin);
+
+ -- preventing from possible name collision;
+
+ -- matching PostScript naming conventions, e.g. contain distinct
+ Font Family and Weight parts.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+============
+
+Depends from TeX system you use. Users of pdfTeX distributed with
+teTeX or fpTeX may try following steps:
+
+ IMPORTANT: I can't predict the configuration of your system,
+ so use the commands below at your own risk.
+
+ 1. Put the files of this package into appropriate directories:
+
+ skt.map -> .../texmf/dvips/config/
+ *.pfb -> .../texmf/fonts/type1/sanskrit/
+
+ the name 'sanskrit' for font directory is not mandatory and may
+ be changed if you need.
+
+ 2. Run:
+
+ texhash
+
+ kpsewhich skt10.pfb
+
+ to make sure your TeX software has access to those files. The last
+ command should output the full path to appropriate font file,
+ if nothing appeared, consult your local TeXnicians.
+
+ NOTE: don't run kpsewhich directly in the font directory --- this won't
+ show you the real picture.
+
+ 3. Locate your pfdtex.cfg file (either global or private) and add following
+ line:
+
+ map +skt.map
+
+This should make outline skt fonts available for docs produced by pdfTeX.
+
+
+FEEDBACK
+========
+
+Suggestions and bug reports to: Sergey Korop, <svk@lib.ru>. Please note
+that since I'm neither professional font designer nor experienced TeXnician,
+I will probably be unable to fulfill your requests.
