============================================================
          Adobe Melior font pack as of 2004-01-29
============================================================
                                              Walter Schmidt
                                       w.a.schmidt(@)gmx.net

This collection includes tfm, vf, fd and map files to use
Adobes "Melior" PostScript fonts with LaTeX on the
Un*x or PC platform.  It does _not_ include the actual Type1
fonts, which are to be purchased from Adobe.  

The below installation instructions assume a TDS-compliant
TeX system, such as teTeX, fpTeX, MikTeX or VTeX/Free.  The
directory name "texmf" refers to the root directory of the
TDS directory tree.  In case your TeX systems has more than
one such directory tree, the documentation should tell you
where to install new files.



What's new?
-----------
2004-01-29
  Changed directory structure of the distribution
  OT1 encoding is no longer supported.
  Improved kerning.
  Notice that the font mapping files are unchanged.
  


Removing obsolete files
-----------------------
In case you have installed a previous release of this
collection, a number of obsolete files need to be removed
manually (apologies for the inconvenience!):

 the file texmf/pdftex/config/pml.map
 the file texmf/vtex/config/pml.ali
 all files in the directory texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/melior
 all files in the directory texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/melior



Installing the Melior Type1 fonts
---------------------------------
The Type1 fonts, as supplied by Adobe, are to be renamed
for use with TeX:

FontName:             Adobe:            TeX:          
Melior                me______.pfb  ->  pmlr8a.pfb     
Melior-Italic         mei_____.pfb  ->  pmlri8a.pfb    
Melior-Bold           meb_____.pfb  ->  pmlb8a.pfb     
Melior-BoldItalic     mebi____.pfb  ->  pmlbi8a.pfb    
 
Copy them to the directory

  texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/melior/

of your TeX system.  Rename the .afm files accordingly and 
put them into texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/melior/.



Installing the support files 
----------------------------
Unpack the ZIP archive pml.zip in the directory "texmf" 
of your TeX system; thus, all files will be copied to the
appropriate directories.



Updating the filename database
------------------------------
Certain TeX systems require manually updating of a "filename
database" after adding of new files.  Please, consult the
documentation of your TeX system!



Configuring your TeX system
---------------------------
|
| You need not repeat this step, when updating from a
| previous release of this collection!
|

The present distribution comprises several font map files
for the <Supplier> <Family> fonts.  You need to configure
your TeX system so that these files are actually used.  
The required steps depend on the particular TeX system.
Particular sets of instructions are provided below for the
following systems:

  * teTeX     (v2.0 and later)
  * VTeX/Free (v8.44 and later)

With other TeX systems such as MikTeX, consult the related
documentation how to install an additional font map file.
The name of the map file to be used for Melior is "pml.map".
Two copies of this file reside in the directories
texmf/dvips/config and texmf/fonts/map/dvips.

Configuring teTeX:
Use the shell script "updmap" to add the font map file named
"pml.map" to the configuration.  See the documentation of
your particular teTeX version how to use the script.  With
teTeX 2.0 and above, execute the following commands:

  texhash
  updmap --enable Map pml.map


Configuring VTeX/Free:
Make VTeX read the additional font map ("aliasing") file
pml.ali.  This is usually accomplished by putting a record
for this file into each of the configuration files

  texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm
and
  texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm

"pml.ali" is to be added to the TYPE1 section of the
above-mentioned files:
  
  TYPE1 {
    ...
    pml.ali
    }



Using the Melior fonts with LaTeX
---------------------------------
See the file melior.txt, which should now reside in the
directory texmf/doc/fonts/adobe/.



Legal notice
------------
The Melior font pack is made up from the files pml.txt and
pml.zip.
