+Version 1.0 of the AECC fonts
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is a set of virtual fonts building, from the standard Concrete fonts,
+a set of almost T1 encoded fonts. The characters missing are mainly:
+eth, thorn, and the sami letter eng. Sometimes the £ character is
+also missing. For the typewriter fonts, the situation is worse.
+
+My idea with these fonts is that it should be possible to use the
+Knuthian Concrete fonts to produce PS/PDF files even
+when one needs hyphenation patterns other than English.
+The package assumes that the underlying AE (Almost European Modern
+Roman) fonts have been previously installed.
+
+The package borrows the ideas and a large part of the implementation
+from the AE package by Lars Engebretsen.
+
+It would be nice to have a font containing the missing caracters, in
+order to make the layout fully T1. By the way, the name AECC fonts was
+chosen since the fonts are Almost European Concrete.
+
+To use the fonts, simply \usepackage{aecc}.
+
+To use bitmap versions of the characters missing in the ae fonts,
+\usepackage{aecompl}.
+
+Denis Roegel has constructed a separate package, aeguill, to produce
+guillemets built with the polish CMR fonts, WNCYR fonts, LASY fonts,
+or EC fonts.
+
+AECC.sty must be loaded last in order to substitute the underlying AE
+virtual fonts in the roman typeface only.
