+cmbright fonts in Type1 format (Version 0.6, 2002/11/22)
+========================================================
+
+This package contains the cmbright fonts in Type1 format. Only the
+fonts are included that are not part of the cm-super bundle 
+(thus, math and OT1 fonts).
+
+This package contains the ready Postscript Type1 fonts in PFB format as
+used by dvips and pdflatex, as well as a map file and a config file for
+dvips.
+
+Everything I am describing is valid for the current beta version of teTeX.
+If you have another distribution you might have to change several things.
+
+If you want to built the fonts on your own look at the end of this document.
+
+The font names and the file names begin with 'hf' for 'harders font'. This
+has been done for not getting mixed up with the commercial cmbright fonts by
+MicroPress. This has been suggested by Walter Schmidt, the creator of
+the cmbright fonts.
+
+The outlines were generated using mftrace and pfaedit. The only changes I
+have done were the change of the font names and the other global font flags.
+I have not done any hinting by hand. Thus the fonts are far from perfect.
+But at least they increase quality when using acrobat reader on the screen.
+
+Licence is LPPL. No Warrancy.
+
+Many thanks
+- to Walter Schmidt (was@vr-web.de) 
+  for the permission to upload these fonts to CTAN and the help with the
+  arithmetic overflow.
+- to Felix Neubauer (felix.neubauer@gmx.net)
+  who suggested a workaround for some fonts that did an arithmetic 
+  overflow and found the problem that UniqueID was zero.
+  Additionally, he has tested the fonts.
+- to Ralf Stubner (ralf.stubner@physik.uni-erlangen.de)
+  who told me how to create the needed encoding files and helped me with
+  pfaedit. Ralf has also tested the fonts.
+
+Manual installation
+-------------------
+
+Put the pfb files (./pfb/*.pfb) into the TeX search path for fonts 
+(e.g. $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/type1/public/hfbright/) and the dvips 
+configuration files (./dvips/*) into $TEXMFLOCAL/dvips/config.
+
+You can also add the contents of cmbright.map to psfonts.map. For the current
+teTeX beta, this is done by adding 
+    Map hfbright.map
+to the file updmap.cfg which normally is in $TEXMFMAIN/web2c/.
+Then update the font maps by calling 'updmap'.
+
+
+Automatic installation (and generation)
+---------------------------------------
+
+Just execute ./install.sh.
+If some files are missing, generate.sh is called before installation.
+Please have a look into install.sh to be sure the right directories etc.
+are used.
+
+
+Generation of the Type 1 fonts
+------------------------------
+
+Just call ./generate.sh. The pfa files are written into ./pfa/, the pfb
+files into ./pfb/. hfbright.map and config.hfbright are written into
+./dvips/.
+
+
+
+To Do
+-----
+
+I have ordered UniqueIDs from Adobe. I have to wait until they arrive and
+then apply them to the fonts. This should not cause any trouble.
