+# README for the `mfnfss' bundle (December 2017)
+
+This "bundle" consists of a few old LaTeX2e packages written to
+support some metafont based fonts within NFSS. In the early days of
+LaTeX2e it was part of the required setup for LaTeX.
+
+## IMPORTANT NOTICE
+
+The files in this bundle are no longer maintainted by the LaTeX Team!
+So I (Frank) have picked them up to give the sources a new home, but I
+do not expect to do much maintenance on them (if any).
+
+If you actually want to use the Pandora fonts, you have to invest a a
+bit of work as the fonts themselves aren't distributed these days by
+most distributions because of license issues (they aren't allowed for
+commercial use so aren't "free" by some standard (they are on CTAN
+though, so it is possible to install them). *Please do not ask me how
+to do that with your installation!*
+
+For the old German fonts from Yannis the situation is somewhat better:
+so the `oldgerm` package should work out of the box with most or
+all distributions.
+
+The file `manifest.txt` contains a list of the main files in the
+distribution together with a short summary of each file.
+
+The files are licensed under [LPPL](https://www.latex-project.org/lppl/).

-README for the `mfnfss' bundle (December 1995)
-=============================
-
-This `bundle' consists of LaTeX2e packages written and supported by
-members of the LaTeX3 Project Team.
-
-The documented source code of each package is in a file with extension
-`.dtx'. Running LaTeX on the various files with extension `.ins' will
-produce all the package files, and some associated files.
-
-So you should first process, e.g., oldgerm.ins:
-
- latex oldgerm.ins
-
-The files with extensions `.sty' and `.fd' should then be moved to a
-directory on LaTeX's standard input path.
-
-Documentation for the individual packages may then be
-obtained by running LaTeX on the `.dtx' files.
-
-For example:
-
- latex oldgerm.dtx
-
-will produce the file oldgerm.dvi, documenting the oldgerm package.
-
-
-***NOTE****
-Copyright is maintained on each of these packages by the author(s)
-of the package.
-
-Unless otherwise mentioned in the package file, all the packages in
-this bundle are released under the restrictions detailed below.
-
-The file manifest.txt contains a list of the main files in the
-distribution together with a short summary of each file.
-
-
-Reporting Bugs
-==============
-
-If you wish to report a problem or bug in any of these packages,
-use the latexbug.tex program that comes with the standard LaTeX
-distribution. Please ensure that you enter `3' when prompted with a
-menu of categories, so that the message will be automatically
-forwarded to the appropriate part of our database.
-
-When reporting bugs, please produce a small test file that shows the
-problem, and ensure that you are using the current version of the
-package, and of the base LaTeX software.
-
-
-Distribution of unchanged versions
-==================================
-
- Redistribution of unchanged files is allowed provided that this
- readme file is included and all the files for a package are
- distributed together.
-
- The individual packages may bear additional restrictions on
- modification and distribution which supersede these
- general conditions.
-
-Generation and distribution of changed versions
-===============================================
-
- The generation of changed versions of the files included in these
- packages is allowed under the restrictions listed in the file
- legal.txt in the base LaTeX distribution. In particular you should:
-
- - rename the file before you make any changes to it.
-
- - change the error report address so that we do not get sent error
- reports for files *not* maintained by us.
-
-
- The distribution of changed versions of the files included in these
- packages is allowed under the restrictions listed in the file
- legal.txt in the base LaTeX distribution. In particular you should:
-
- - also distribute the unmodified version of the file.
