+eco fonts v1.3 -- README
+========================
+
+This is a set of font metric files and virtual fonts for using the ec fonts
+with oldstyle numerals. This font family is called eco fonts. (No pun
+intended.)
+
+It can only be used together with the standard ec fonts. (European Computer
+Modern fonts by J"org Knappen <knappen@vkpmzd.kph.uni-mainz.de>,
+CTAN:/fonts/ec)
+
+It consists of:
+ - .tfm files for use by TeX in new Cork encoding
+ - .vf (virtual font) files for dvi drivers
+ - .fd (font definition) files for use with LaTeX2e
+ - eco.sty style file which loads the T1 encoding and sets the family defaults
+   for eco fonts. 
+ - create.sh (Bourne shell script) which reproduces the whole font family. 
+   *DO NOT RUN THIS SCRIPT* if you don't know exactly what you're doing! It 
+   is only provided as a sample of how to produce such a font family and it
+   *NOT* needed for normal operation.
+
+The .tfm files of the eco fonts were produced using the original .tfm files of
+the ec fonts from CTAN.
+
+eco.sty is sufficient to use the eco fonts, but if you intend to use other
+font families as well, eg. PostScript fonts, I recommend that you try the
+altfont package, from CTAN:/macros/latex/contrib/supported/altfont.
+
+Because some of the filenames have more than 8 characters, I am afraid that
+the package is unusable with MS-DOG.
