+LXfonts bundle version 2.0 OF 2013-09-15
+
+(C) Claudio Beccari 2007-2013
+
+This work is subject to the LaTeX Project Public Licence (LPPL), version 1.3
+or any other successive version as you like; the LPPL licence is downloadable
+from any CTAN archive.
+
+This package contains a revival of the slide fonts created long ago by Leslie
+Lamport, in his initial distribution of LaTeX209, for typesetting slides on
+methacrylate transparencies.
+
+The advent of the T1 Cork encoding brought in the T1 encoded slides fonts.
+
+New packages for beamer presentations became available after the availability
+of the typesetting engine pdftex; therefore the usage of the very legible
+fonts of the old SliTeX format were abandoned.
+
+This bundle offers a revival of those fonts so as to eliminate the inconveniences
+of the modest initial set-up; they include now all the math fonts, including the
+AMS ones. Text fonts are complemented with the Text Companion fonts. These fonts
+are coherent with the slide fonts of the Greek CB font collection, so that slides
+can be typeset in Greek script also.
+
+An enclosed demo file, typeset with the class beamer, is available for documentation
+and for evaluating the benefits of these reviewed fonts.
+
+Installation is best described in the accompanying file Lxfonts.readme file.
