+ README
+ ======
+
+
+This is just a set of configuration files to make emTeX look for PK fonts
+in DPInnn directories instead of the traditional nnnDPI.
+You might have several reasons to want this behaviour:
+
+* It is what the TDS standard propose.
+* First character of a directory name in a CD-ROM must be a letter.
+* It will be easier to share your PK fonts with other TeX installations
+(for example, teTeX).
+
+Installation:
+
+1) Uncompress DPINNN.ZIP in the directory where you installed emTeX,
+(by default, your root directory), i.e:
+
+CD \
+UNZIP A:DPINNN (or whatever)
+
+This overwrites many .cnf files in directory emtex\data, the files
+emtex\bin\fli_base.{bat,cmd} and the file emtex\mfjob\modes.mfj.
+Warning!: If you modified any of these files, make a backup copy
+first and change the newer files accordingly.
+
+DPINNN.ZIP also contains the following files:
+
+emtex\doc\english\patches
+emtex\doc\german\patches
+emtex\data\dvips\patches
+texfonts\dpinnn.bas
+
+
+2) You must go now to \texfonts\pixel.xxx (whatever you use) and rename every
+directory from nnnDPI to DPInnn. You can do it by several methods:
+
+a) (Recommended) If you have MS-DOG 6.x (and therefore MOVE command and
+QBASIC) do the following:
+
+CD \TEXFONTS\PIXEL.LJ (or whatever)
+QBASIC /run ..\dpinnn
+
+This will automatically rename all your directories in PIXEL.LJ (or whatever).
+
+b) If you have QBASIC, but not MOVE command, go to your nearest SimTel
+mirror and download GNU file utilities (see GNUish directory).
+'mv' command may be used instead of 'MOVE', you only have to change
+dpinnn.bas before running it (change MOVE by MV)
+
+c) None of the above: Do it by hand, get at least mv utility.
+
+
+Don't forget to repeat point 2) for every family of fonts you use
+(for example, LJH...).
+
+
+3) To be consistent, you may want to change the docs accordingly.
+Get the 'patch' program (for example, from GNUISH of SimTel)
+go to emtex\doc\english (or german) and type
+
+patch < patches
+
+This will change fontlib.doc, dvidrv.doc, mfjob.doc and help.{eng,ger}
+
+Note: I suppose the following files should also be updated:
+
+emtex\book\english\dvidrv.inf
+emtex\book\english\mfjob.inf
+emtex\book\german\dvidrv.inf
+emtex\book\german\mfjob.inf
+
+
+4) If you use Guido Sawade's DVIPS, you should also patch the
+configuration files. The following should work with the latest version (2.5)
+and maybe with older ones. Go to emtex\data\dvips and write:
+
+patch < patches
+
+This will patch config.ps, ljh.cfg and dj.cfg
+
+
+Final note:
+==========
+
+Consider this as free software (no warranty, use at your own risk, etc).
+I decided to include here complete configuration files because patches were
+as long as the original files in most cases.
+
+If you find something is wrong or is missing, please tell me, my email
+address is at the end. After a reasonably period of testing (several weeks,
+or several months) without complains or bug reports, I will suggest Eberhard
+Mattes to incorporate this changes to emTeX.
