+\section{Introduction}
+\label{sec:introduction}
+
+This package is intended for use by users who know about fonts. It is
+a quick-fix for fonts which does not have genuine \LaTeX\ support. It
+is \emph{not} meant as a replacement of the \LaTeX\ font definition
+files.
+
+It is meant as something more useable for \LaTeX\ users than the
+\lstinline+\newfont+ command. With addfont the loaded font scales
+along with the usual \LaTeX\ size selection.
+
+Using this package still requires some knowledge on how to use fonts
+with \LaTeX.
+
+\section{Usage}
+\label{sec:usage}
+
+To load the package type
+\begin{lstlisting}
+\usepackage{addfont}
+\end{lstlisting}
+into your preamble.
+
+\subsection{Loading a font}
+\label{sec:loading-font}
+
+To load a font you must know the encoding and the filename of the font.
+
+Typing
+\begin{lstlisting}
+\addfont{OT1}{cmr5}{\cmr}
+\end{lstlisting}
+makes a command `\lstinline|\cmr|' which loads the font
+`\lstinline|cmr5|'. The font is in the encoding `\lstinline|OT1|'.
+
+\lstinline|\addfont| now defines a font family for the font and creates
+a command that loads the font.
+
+Typing
+\begin{lstlisting}[morekeywords=cmr]
+\cmr The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
+\end{lstlisting}
+in your document yields
+
+{\cmr The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}
+
+\subsection{Other shapes}
+\label{sec:other-shapes}
+
+To define another shape of the font type
+\begin{lstlisting}
+\addshape{m}{it}{cmti5}
+\end{lstlisting}
+where `\lstinline|m|' is the font series and `\lstinline|it|' is the
+font shape. `\lstinline|cmti5|' is the filename of the font.
+
+as \lstinline|addshape| remembers the encoding and family of the last
+added font this is not typed.
+
+The new shape is now ready for use. Typing
+\begin{lstlisting}[morekeywords=cmr]
+\cmr\itshape The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
+\end{lstlisting}
+into your document now yields
+
+{\cmr\itshape The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}
+
+\subsection{Fine tuning the font}
+\label{sec:fine-tuning-font}
+
+There are some optional arguments to \lstinline|\addfont| to fine
+tunig the font:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+\addfont[1.2][\hyphenchar\font-1]{OT1}{cmtt5}{\cmtt}
+\end{lstlisting}
+The font is now scaled by a factor of 1.2 and the hyphenchar is set to
+$-1$ (hyphenation not allowed).
+
+{\cmtt\itshape The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}
+
+Scaling is mostly for using a mix fonts of fonts not originalle
+designed to be used together.
+
+\subsection{Generic description}
+\label{sec:generic-description}
+
+The general scheme is
+\begin{lstlisting}
+\addfont[scale][cmds]{encoding}{font name}{\macro}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+where
+\begin{description}
+\item[scale] is the factor to scale the font. This is normally not
+ necesary.
+\item[cmds] are commands to be executed at font selection. Typically
+ setting the hyphen char of a monospaced font and nothing for other
+ types of fonts.
+\item[encoding] is the encoding scheme of the font.
+\item[font name] is the file name of the \texttt{tfm}-file of the font
+ without the \texttt{tfm} extension.
+\item[\textbackslash macro] is the macro to use the font.
+\end{description}
+
+The general font shape scheme is
+\begin{lstlisting}
+\addshape[cmds]{series}{shape}{font name}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+where
+\begin{description}
+\item[cmds] are commands to be executed at font selection. Typically
+ nothing.
+\item[series] is the font series.
+\item[shape] is the font shape.
+\item[font name] is the file name of the \texttt{tfm}-file of the font.
+\end{description}
+
+\subsection{Font size selection}
+\label{sec:font-size-selection}
+
+The \lstinline|addfont| by default sets up to font to be used with a
+fixed set of sizes. The sizes are the sizes normally used for the
+Computer Modern fonts, 5pt, 6pt, 7pt, 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 10.95pt, 12pt,
+14.4pt, 17.28pt, 20.74pt, and 24.88pt respectively.
+
+To use a font at \emph{any} size replace \lstinline|addfont| with
+\lstinline|addfont*|.
+
+\section{Limitations}
+\label{sec:limitations}
+
+As written in the introduction this package is not meant as a
+replacement of writing customized \LaTeX\ font definition files. Thus
+it does not provide all the features of \LaTeX\ font selection.
