+
+VERSION
+ This README.txt describes the allrunes version 2.1
+
+CHANGES
+ 1.0 First public release.
+ 1.01 Removed a few remaining 8-bit characters from
+ frum.mf. They didn't work with the new MiKTeX
+ package handling system. Also added a lost table,
+ added an example and corrected a few spelling
+ mistakes in the documentation.
+ 2.0 Added type1 versions for the main types of the
+ allrunes fonts, and support for them in the LaTeX package.
+ Merged the former Scandinavian-Gothic and the Continental
+ font families to a Common Germanic font family. Renamed the
+ commands for flipping and turning runes. Made the commands
+ for flipping and turning runes work for all six font families.
+ Inserted kerning information for the Common Germanic and
+ Anglo-Frisian font families. Complemented the sets of runes
+ with a few more, especially the Medieval one. Corrected many
+ spelling mistakes in the documentation.
+ 2.1 Modified the handling of type1 fontes to take advantage
+ of the new map-file handling system of MiKTeX- and teTeX-
+ implementations. Removed a bug that prevented the use of
+ medieval rune with straight twigs. Minor updates to the
+ documentation.
+
+FILES AND DIRECTORIES AT CTAN
+ README.txt This file.
+ allrunes.dtx The source for the allrunes Metafont fonts and
+ LaTeX package.
+ allrunes.ins Driver file for allrunes.dtx
+ allrunes.ps PostScript version of the documentation,
+ using only mf (pk) fonts.
+ allrunes.pdf Pdf version of the documentation,
+ using only type1 fonts.
+ type1 Directory for the type1 fonts, containing:
+ pfb Directory for the pfb files
+ allrunes.map Map file for mapping the type1 file names
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+ The installation of the allrunes package requires the docstrip
+ package. Using the allrunes package requires the ifthen package.
+ Processing the documentation for the allrunes package requires
+ the fontenc package and the ec fonts. I do not know what version
+ of LaTeX is required.
+
+INSTALLATION (OF THE LATEX PACKAGE AND THE METAFONT SOURCE FILES)
+ The installation procedure is described in the documentation, but
+ since there is weak catch 22, in that you might need the fonts to
+ produce the documentation, and you might need the documentation to
+ install the fonts, it's also described here. The descriptions below
+ are intended to be correct for MiKTeX version 2.3 and 2.4, and for
+ teTeX version 2.0.
+
+ 1. Download the files allrunes.ins and allrunes.dtx to a preferably
+ empty directory. If you intend to keep the documentation, you'd
+ better create a suitable directory and put the files there right
+ now; like
+ <tex doc base>/fonts/allrunes/
+ In a typical MiKTeX system it would be
+ C:\texmf\doc\fonts\allrunes\
+ In a teTeX system it might be like
+ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/doc/fonts/allrunes/
+ 2. Start a window where you can enter commands from the keyboard,
+ i.e. get an DOS prompt on a Windows machine or a xterm-window
+ on a UNIX/linux machine.
+ 3. Go to the directory where you did put the files allrunes.dtx
+ and allrunes.ins
+ 4. Run the command
+ latex allrunes.ins
+ Wait. There are 231 files to be generated.
+ 5. Move all the 224 *.mf files to a suitable directory, preferably
+ <font source base>/public/allrunes/
+ which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
+ C:\texmf\fonts\source\public\allrunes\
+ In a teTeX system it might be like
+ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/allrunes/
+ 6. Move the 6 *.fd files and the file allrunes.sty
+ to a suitable directory, preferably
+ <tex base>/tex/latex/allrunes/
+ which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
+ C:\texmf\tex\latex\allrunes\
+ In a typical teTeX system it would be like
+ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/allrunes/
+ 7. Refresh the file name database. In MiKTeX you would run
+ the command
+ initexmf -u
+ or find it somewhere in Start|Program|MiKTeX...
+ In teTeX you would just run
+ texhash
+ or use the configuration tool
+ texconfig
+ and find some suitable alternative.
+ 8. Run the command
+ latex allrunes.dtx
+ to produce the documentation and test the installation.
+ Run it one more time to resolve the references, before
+ you view it.
+
+INSTALLATION (OF THE TYPE1 FONT FILES)
+
+ Installation of the type1 fonts requires the allrunes package
+ to be installed according to the above description. Be sure
+ that both LaTeX and dvips works fine with the Metafont
+ fonts before you install the type1 fonts.
+
+ 1. Copy all the files (named fru??.pfb) from the type1/pfb
+ directory to a suitable directory, preferably
+ <type1 font base>/public/allrunes
+ which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
+ C:\texmf\fonts\type1\public\allrunes\
+ and in a teTeX system it might be like
+ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/allrunes/
+ 2. Copy the file allrunes.map from the type1 directory
+ to some suitable directory, like
+ <dvips base>/allrunes
+ which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
+ C:\texmf\dvips\allrunes\
+ and in a teTeX system it might be like
+ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvips/allrunes/
+ 3. Edit the file
+ <texmf base>/web2c/updmap.cfg
+ which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
+ C:\texmf\web2c\updmap.cfg
+ and in a teTeX system it might be like
+ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
+ search for a line like:
+ MixedMap allrunes.map
+ in the file. If the line is not present, then add that line.
+ 4. Refresh the file name database, see paragraph 7 above.
+ 5. Update the other .map files. In MiKTeX you run
+ initexmf -v --mkmap
+ and in teTeX you run
+ updmap
+ 6. Run
+ latex allrunes.dtx
+ then try both
+ dvips -Ppk allrunes
+ (which will use the bitmapped pk fonts) and
+ dvips -Poutline allrunes
+ (which will use the ouline type1 fonts). You might also try
+ pdflatex allrunes.dtx
+
