+
+To install the package, do the following:
+
+Run LaTeX on eurofont.ins
+
+Put eurofont.sty, eurofont.cfg, and all the files ending in .fd into a
+directory on your tex-inputs search path.
+
+Run LaTeX on eurofont.dtx and print out the documentation.
+
+Read at least the introductory sections of the documentation.
+
+If you want to use Adobe's Eurofonts, put the files zpeub.tfm -
+zpeurt.tfm (all the files in the adobeuro/tfm/ directory) into a directory
+on your tex-fonts search path. The file dvidrive.txt has
+information on how to configure your dvi driver to use Adobe's Eurofonts.
+
+If you want to use the Marvosym fount, read the eurofont package
+documentation. The file dvidrive.txt has information on how to configure
+your dvi driver to use the marvosym fount.
+
+Read the documentation so you can set up the package to meet your needs.

+FONTS CONTAINING EURO SYMBOLS
+=============================
+
+Aside from the Text Companion founts which accompany the EC founts (the T1
+encoded version of the standard Computer Modern founts), Metafont euro
+symbols are included in two other founts that I know of, both available
+from CTAN. The following urls retrieve the packages from my nearest CTAN
+mirror:
+
+ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/china2e.zip
+ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/eurosym.zip
+
+(other CTAN sites are listed at the end of this document)
+
+There are PostScript Type 1 founts containing euro symbols: Adobe's
+Eurofonts, a set of 12 founts providing seriffed, sanserif, and monospaced
+euro symbols in medium upright, italic, bold, and bold italic version; and
+the Marvosym fount, which has three euro symbols, very similar to the
+medium upright seriffed, sanserif, and monospaced euro symbols from
+Adobe.
+
+Adobe's Eurofonts are available (September 1998) in a Mac version
+from here:
+
+ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/mac/all/eurofont.sea.hqx
+ftp://ftp-pac.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/mac/all/eurofont.sea.hqx
+
+For Textures users on Macs, take the installer from CTAN:
+
+systems/mac/textures/contrib/IdealFonts/EuroDefs.sit.hqx
+systems/mac/textures/contrib/IdealFonts/README.IF
+
+You should still download Adobe's Eurofonts separately.
+
+And in a version suitable for MS-Windows PCs and Unix from here:
+
+ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.exe
+ftp://ftp-pac.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.exe
+
+these files are self-extracting archives on MS-Windows computers which
+can be decompressed on Unix computers with the unzip command.
+
+The marvosym fount is available from CTAN; this url retrieves the marvosym
+fount from my nearest CTAN site (November 1998):
+
+ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/marvosym.zip
+
+
+CTAN SITES -- JANUARY 1999.
+===========================
+
+The three CTAN primary sites:
+
+ctan.tug.org (in Massachusetts, USA)
+ftp.dante.de (in Deutschland)
+ftp.tex.ac.uk (in England)
+
+this url can point you to your nearest CTAN site - there are many more
+than the three above:
