+ Installation instruction for cyrillic fonts in ALT encoding
+ -----------------------------------------------------------
+
+This file describes how to install cyrillic fonts on a TeX/LaTeX system.
+Special attention is given to installation for EmTeX
+(MSDOS-OS/2 implementation of TeX).
+
+The CMCYRALT font distribution presented here was uploaded
+to CTAN by Vadim V. Zhytnikov (vvzhy@phy.ncu.edu.tw)
+on behalf of Alexander Harin (harin@lourie.und.ac.za).
+
+I added this INSTALL file to make instllation easier for users
+that don't have a lot of TeX/LaTeX experience.
+For users of EmTeX I supply cyrillic font library cmcyr_lj.fli,
+so they do not have to learn how to use MetaFont/MfJob.
+
+
+What is required
+================
+
+1. TeX ver 3.0 or later, version 3.1415 is preferable.
+
+MSDOS-OS/2 users:
+You can get EmTeX 3.0 from CTAN directory /systems/msdos/emtex
+(CTAN is Common TeX Archive Network, its site in the US
+is ftp.shsu.edu:/tex-archive).
+You also can get beta release of EmTeX 3.1415
+from /systems/msdos/emtex/betatest.
+
+UNIX users:
+You probably already have newest version of TeX on your system.
+Otherwise take a look at /systems/unix of CTAN.
+
+
+2. Cyrillic style files for LaTeX2e or LaTeX 2.09.
+You can get LaTeX2e files from /macros/latex/contrib/other/cmcyralt
+or from ftp.cs.umd.edu:/pub/cyrillic/cmcyralt/cmcyr2e.zip.
+LaTeX 2.09 (this version of LaTeX is now considered obsolete)
+files can be obtained from /macros/latex209/contrib.
+
+
+How to unpack and install
+=========================
+
+1. Create directory cmcyrfnt and unpack the zip file into it
+with preserving directory structure.
+
+For example, in MSDOS:
+
+pkunzip -d cmcyrfnt.zip
+
+1a. MSDOS users only: In this distribution end-of-line
+character for text files is LF.
+To convert text files to MSDOS convention (end-of-line is
+CR-LF), type "convers.exe +r *.*" in directory cmcyrfnt
+and all its text subdirectories (that is, all subdirectories
+except VF and TFM). Convers.exe is supplied together with
+this distribution.
+
+
+2. Add TFM subdirectory to TFM (font metrics) path variable.
+
+For example, in MSDOS:
+
+set tfm=d:\emtex\tfm;d:\cmcyrfnt\tfm
+
+Now if LaTeX cmcyr package is installed, you can use LaTeX
+to produce *.dvi files. However, to print or view *.dvi files,
+you have to do more.
+
+
+3. Add VF subdirectory to virtual font path.
+
+For example, if you are using dviscr to view *.dvi files
+and dvihplj to print them, you have to change the /pv line
+in file lj.cnf to:
+
+/pv=d:\cmcyrfnt\vf
+
+
+4. Getting cyrillic font bodies.
+
+a) EmTeX users who need 300 DPI fonts for HP LaserJet and screen viewer:
+Download file cmcyr_lj.fli to the same directory cmcyrfnt.
+
+Add the cmcyrfnt directory to the font library path.
+Change the /pl line in lj.cnf to something like:
+
+/pl=%DVIDRVFONTS%;d:\cmcyrfnt;lj_0;lj_h;lj_1;lj_2;lj_3;lj_4;lj_5a;lj_5b;cmcyr_lj
+
+Examples of autoexec.bat and emtex\lj.cnf files are given
+in directory cmcyrfnt\setup.
+
+
+b) All others.
+
+You will need to generate font bodies (*.pk) from
+the font sources (*.mf) using MetaFont and MfWare programs
+(they are part of any decent TeX package (for example, of EmTeX)).
+
+File cmcyr.mfj is a batch file for MfJob that performs
+generation of cmcyralt fonts in PK format.
+Since there is a bug in definition of cyrillic letter d
+in fonts czssq8 and czssqi8, I included file mfjob.log
+that lists these bugs.
+
+After generating fonts you can create a font library (*.fli)
+from them using the file setup/cmcyr.bat (EmTeX only).
